Leahy Suggests Big Changes in Privacy Law
Senator Patrick Leahy, aDemocrat on the Judiciary committee, advocated on Wednesday a "comprehensive rethinking" of the laws regulating companies that compile personal information on consumers.
"It's not a conservative or liberal issue," Leahy said at the Center for Democracy and Technology's 10th anniversary dinner. "We're going to explore these issues--something that's long overdue."
Leahy was one of the the Bank of America customers whose personal information was recently lost.
A Senate Banking committee hearing scheduled for Thursday is titled "Identity Theft: Recent Developments Involving the Security of Sensitive Consumer Information."
Leahy and experts from the U.S. Secret Service, Bank of America and ChoicePoint are scheduled to testify.
