One alternative is to limit CISPA to law enforcement receiving the information rather than the National Security Agency and other arms of the defense-intelligence apparatus. But that amendment failed by a 4-14 vote this week.

May I assume that you'll publicly oppose CISPA if it continues to advance without that amendment? :)

Also, regarding your claims that person-specific data can't be handed over, a separate amendment requiring that failed by a 4-16 vote. So it will be able to be shared with the NSA.

BTW, I'm not arguing that there are not real problems arising from attacks that large companies, and even smaller companies, face. The question is what to do about it, and whether CISPA remains the best vehicle.
