With home computers running more and more stuff inside a persons house.. it will only be 10 years or so until some kid who was playing tricks kills someone's grandma because their home medicine drip which reports back to the doctors office over the internet gets turned off. I would rather have kids get scared now versus after they are sitting on lifer's row for playing tricks.
Well, I would prefer to have these systems secured by configuration rather than by legislation. Proactive measures do prevent this stuff from happening. Reactive measures (like suing someone after he caused an incident) don't.
