In my dreams, some combination of closed hardware and/or software (perhaps the latest Intel AMT vulnerability?) leads to the personal information of all congressmen to be leaked--financial, medical, residential, etc. They respond with a "Secure Computing Act" that requires that the all US agencies, as well as any companies they do business with, to use 100% open-source hardware and software.

These companies in turn would be required to produce massive volumes of paper report to "manage the risk and prove that their software is secure."
