Don't tell us, tell your legislators. Ideally with some kind of narrative that ties to a financial incentive for the lawmaker and his or her constituents.

If the security industry got together and lobbied for this as both a jobs program (security companies offering services to tech companies) and as a means of protecting Americans/constituents, then it might get somewhere.

Most voters don't care about digital security. That means most politicians, reasonably, don't care either. Most voters do care about their economies. So linking what you're talking about to talking points the political can use is helpful. Not because they're going to get a cut.
