The way laws are written is that they address a problem first and execution second. In other words, you can have something be illegal, but not include in the law any guidelines on how it's supposed to executed, or what limits on prosecution exist. The idea of this process is so that the executive goes back, drafts rules, and those rules are later passed into law. The issue with cyber security is that what very little law is on the books lacks the executive definition as passed by subsequent law. People hear about Congress passing a law and think that's it. They fail to understand the way laws are implemented, and that most laws are initially vague until later refinement is applied. Few laws are like Healthcare Reform, or tax law. The Executive asks for laws in a given direction, Congress passes a law in that direction, it's signed into law, executive level authorities draft rules and establish requisite powers, and Congress goes back and passes applicable new laws to satisfy the power to fully enact the law. As I said in my previous posts, the initial laws pass setting up what is a crime, but no enforcement power is given to applicable institutions because each time talk about it starts people get in a huff about even talking about it.
