Subject: Fw: Congress loves identity thieves

Dave,

This CNET editorial calls out the way this law would weaken controls  
on data
warehouses.  But a note of caution: if this (or any other) law is  
drawn to
apply to *all* information that businesses have about *any* customer, it
creates a record-keeping nightmare for small businesses.
