The subject line above and this link below were posted, without the correct response:

"Ethical" (the "E" in CEH) hackers would only attack systems that belong to organizations that gave them written 
permission to do so.  The new laws would be inapplicable to that scenario.  Therefore their certification could still 
hold InfoSec employment and salary value.  And anyone who attacks systems without a written "Get out of jail free" card 
does so at the risk of their own freedom (obviously).
