"Smith wants to see mandatory notification in cases where personal data might have been exposed but not in situations where an encrypted laptop was lost, for example. He also wants to see private investigators who used trickery to obtain confidential records jailed. "
"MIGHT have been exposed" who will decide if it 'might have'?
"ENCRYPTED laptop" what is the definition of 'encrypted'? (I use ROT-13 so it's ok to lose the laptop and not report it)
"used TRICKERY to obtain.." what is 'trickery'? how is it legally defined?
If you thought he situation was bad right now, wait until these ideas get written up as law.
