Yesterday, with the House and Senate in session (and the Senate preparing to leave for the weekend), there were 150 bills introduced. Three of those bills may received additional coverage in this blog:
HR
2046 To enhance the security of the United States and its allies, and for
other purposes. Rep. Miller, Carol D. [R-WV-3]
S
819 A bill to enhance the security of the United States and its allies, and
for other purposes. Sen.
Barrasso, John [R-WY]
S 860 A bill to develop and deploy firewall circumvention tools for the people of Hong Kong after the People's Republic of China violated its agreement under the Joint Declaration, and for other purposes. Sen. Lankford, James [R-OK]
I do not really think that HR 2046 or S 819 will be of interest here, but the ‘enhance security’ claim in the title is so broad that it could encompass just about anything. As always I will be watching for language related to cybersecurity or chemical security issues.
The description of S 860 just jumped off the page and
slapped me in the face this morning. While I understand the impetus for helping
the people of Hong Kong (and essentially flipping off the ‘Communist’ Chinese
government) this bill is fraught with so many potential unintended consequences
that I just have to watch it; like standing around and watching a house burn down
in the neighborhood.
