Both examples that you give are sound, and I would support regulations that enforced these basic security guidelines. The question is whether these are the types of regulations we would get. I expect there would be rather a lot of useless and silly regulations that do nothing but drive up costs.

This is not a rhetorical question, I'm just trying to better understand how this process would work. Who would be designing and brainstorming these laws in the government?

I do not know the answer to this question. It seems reasonable that a "committee of experts" would be designated by the politicians for this purpose, but I don't feel confident that one could be sure of the expertise involved, or whose interests would be served.
