Tech security at Equifax was so diabolical, senators want to pass US laws making its incompetence illegal

Re: Why would they do anything?

Most of them actually see it as there god given right and it seems that it's getting worse. I recently had two shops try to get personal details from me, for a cheap pair of shoes and an over the counter medicine (anti stink foot powder). Both times they were shocked at my refusal, both times I explained they had no legal right to take my details and were in fact breaking the law by doing so. While I got my cheapo shoes at the pharmacy the manager was called and after i explain the situation to her she threatened to call security to arest me. So this is what they want and most of the time get away with. Also the reason I have none of these points cards for the big chains
