NOT A FEDERAL ISSUE
Apparently no one in the Senate believes in federalism. From today's Washington Postreport
The bill before Congress would make it illegal to videotape, photograph, film, broadcast or record a naked person or someone in underwear anyplace where a "reasonable person would believe that he or she could disrobe in privacy."
The legislation also would make it illegal to sneak photos of a person's "private parts" when "their private parts would not be visible to the public, regardless of whether that person is in a public or private area."
A person convicted under the law could face a fine and as much as a year in jail.
The bill passed the Senate by voice vote without dissent. The House Judiciary Committee is expected to consider it before the August recess.
Hardly a national emergency, but I do have a little Internet access and a tiny bit of downtime (see below).
