Did universities really ask for those? I don't remember hearing about that.

proposed legislation for the next state congressional session to include banning employers/universities from requiring disclosure of PIN numbers, CVV codes and mother's maiden name.

Agreed, but glad that someone had some sense to say enough is enough.

Pretty sick that it's even necessary. I'm not sure why so many people in this country are so willing to accept big brother type ideals and go along with and create policy that even asks for such things.

Sad that this had to be made into a law. But glad it was to stomp it out.

I'm echoing this sentiment as well.

Yep. Sucks that this has to be done, but credit given where due.

This is all fine and dandy, but where's the law to say government cannot view our FB accounts?

Pathetic that LBJ had to eliminate segregation but glad that he did. Does anybody hear what they say?

There isn't one but theres no law preventing anyone from viewing your page. The government demanding passwords without probable cause? I haven't seen that.

Passwords!?

Oh good, now we need to extend the ban nation wide to all organizations governmental, business and private.
