    1. many tech companies gave source code to other countries in the past to help make competition, and might still be doing so - were ALL of them our allies at the time, then or now? did not tech news sites show articles asking these questions? (they had, certainly in 2010, 2007, and 2003...)

    2. throw them out - other nations will welcome them to help destroy the US (at least in terms of caught spies that are US-born
  • But...

    Why can't this be done already without the legislation, or is this just more grandstanding?
  • Who is the fool....

    These hackers basically come in through closed albeit unlocked doors and help themselves (Don't feel left behind, the US does the same).
    If you left your front door closed but unlocked and came home five hours later to find the place ransacked and looted would you make that call to the police and insurance agent only to tell them...well, er, I sort of forgot to lock the door...
    Both the police and insurance agent would turn around and walk away shaking their heads while the neighboors laugh....as they are now LOL
