"The name's Route.  Trace Route.  I got eight slugs in me.  One's lead, the 
rest are WordPress.  The blog packs a wallop, and I pack a Leatherman.  I'm a 
private eye.  And a computer tech."

...with most strange laws, the first thing to do is to follow the money.  Does 
some campaign contributor have a stake in a criminal-justice degree granting 
school?  Or is this a ham-fisted way to make techs legally responsible for 
misuse of customer's personal data?
