Why not license security engineers/gurus like they do social workers, plumbers and doctors.

Then after one gets everyone to comply, partner with an insurance company to 
offer liability and malpractice insurance to the licensed penetration testers, 
just in case someone accidently shuts down a life support system in a hospital 
as they are scanning random Class 'C's on the internet or hijacking root DNS 
servers in order to play audio streams.

For those who do not comply, set up Senate hearings, and send out letters to those who do 
not comply, "Are you an unlicensed penetration tester?"  If yes, please list 
all your friends, neighbors, etc that may or may not be unlicense penetration testers.  
Once they have rounded up all the non complying penetration testers, escort them to local 
train stations, and guide them onto the train, where they will be taken to re-education 
camps in Lincoln, Nebraska.  --:)
