Senator Robert Torricelli (D-NJ) has introduced a bill to amend title 18 adding-"knowingly causes the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally affects or impairs without authorization a computer of an elementary school or secondary school or institution of higher education;" Wired <http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,45752,00.htmlarchive.html> discusses reasons for the introduction and criticism of it. Some of the issues are how broadly it is written and even the reasons why it is being introduced.
