Increasing information security in the USA is not going to happen while the current major political party remains in power. This party has excused itself from state law compliance (such as Texas state governmental workers being proofed from suit for purposely not redacting personal ID info), is in the process of excusing telcos from suit for playing along with it's breaking of the constitutional requirement for court oversight of private individual monitoring, and is allowing banks to pass the onus of credit card security on to everybody else instead of implementing a better credit card system. In so many other ways, the major party is all about money at the expense of security, all about pushing FUD instead of true national security. Nothing is going to be fixed until the electorate elects them out of office for the good of all. They have had the power for too long. Even the FBI is noticing the corruption and is finally getting around to putting state lawmakers behind bars. There are plenty of Federal lawmakers who should likewise be put behind bars so that we can really be secure as a nation. Pushing for new laws isn't going to make a bit of difference until the lawmakers are forced to comply with current laws. Afterall, if the lawmakers are above the law, so are their supporters. To make their supporters, such as banks and businesses adhere to the law, the lawmakers must be made to adhere to the law.
