Just directing it at Equifax is much too narrow, though. At the very, very least some legislation should come out of this mandating that ALL credit bureaus should allow credit freezes, at any time, for free.

The thing that really incenses me about this whole debacle is the system is designed to benefit from its own incompetence! All these "identity theft solutions" that the big credit bureaus provide are just a way to charge consumers more for a problem that the consumer had nothing to do with in the first place!
