This requires politicians to both care about and understand cybersecurity enough to enforce it, and for there to be no opportunists looking to cash in on the ignorance of policy makers. People demanded more security after 9/11. We got the Patriot Act and the TSA, so the government spies on its own people and an agency that has proven 95% (!!!) of the time to fail to detect a weapon. https://onemileatatime.com/tsa-fails-tests-95-percent/ https://onemileatatime.com/tsa-fails-tests-95-percent/ Ronald Reagon declared a war on drugs - I've already made this comment too political so I won't delve into that. For anything complicated enough the general public cannot easily understand it, there is no incentive for politicians to actually care about it. They can just give it lip service with a few talking points and then never actually do anything actionable.
