Ignorance is everywhere, especially concerning computer security and especially among the representatives and senators in the US Congress. We must combat ignorance by educating the ignorant, and that includes elected officials. Many here at HN have knowledge and high level of awareness of the importance of privacy and security, and I'm sure there are more than a few genuine experts tuning in. In any case most of us probably have salient information and experience to share, and it certainly needs to be shared. If you are a US citizen by all means write to your Representative and Senators. Voters' opinions do matter, particularly in an election year. This afternoon, I sent messages to all 3 members of my congressional delegation exclaiming how bad an idea the Burr-Feinstein bill happens to be. I urge you do do the same.
