applicants for their passwords. >> we are asking both department of justice and the equal opportunity commission to investigate, whether this practice violates existing law but i believe there is a need to strengthen and clarify the law, to prevent this really unnecessary and unreasonably faceless procedure practices like this one are very much akin to asking for the keys to his or her house and rummaging through files, diaries, photos, other documents, and there are sufficient means available to the public realm, i am very encouraged by the decision, of the sheriff's office, to reassess or suspend this practice which i think indicates a realization that there are legally problematic aspects of it. >> in fact that is just coming down the sheriff's department will suspend this practice, you

are writing a bill that would indeed address this seems to me senator so much of this is unchartered with all this new social media you are trying to end this with a bill. >> when one of the two relevant statutes was written in 1986, mark zucker burg was two years old, and many of these laws date from when the internet was barely imageable we need to update and upgrade the law to protect people against coercion when you thing about it, if you are applying for a job in this economy and the perspective employer asks you for a password or log in information, you have really no choice but to give it if you want that job and it threatens not just the individual who is applying for the job but other people loved ones family, friends who may be communicating, privately with the expectation of privacy and communicating to you, some of the most intimate details of their lives and then that

information goes to the employer, when you surrender your password or log in information it has pervasive, widespread ramifications. >> your bill would have some exceptions, can you tell us what those would be. >> exceptions for law enforcement, if someone is dealing with children, in position of trust, or national security, if there is a defense contractor, or the defense department itself, there is a narrow and i emphasize narrow range of jobs that require further background checks fbi for example, but it ought to be narrow. >> right and you have been quoted as saying this practice is an unreasonable invasion of privacy for people seeking work i think you address that but this can be some times a very desperate group of people just looking for work in these tough times >> tough times when people have no choice but to provide a

password or log in information, which may be a breech which has happened in the past or discrimination, there are lots of dangers a bill is necessary a new law to protect people against this unreasonable and unnecessary invasion of privacy. >> senator blumenthal thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> all right thank you. coming up thousands of people throwing their support behind a canadian woman who was ejected from a beauty pageant why she is calling it a human rights issue. >> which airports hope to make unruly passengers pay up. we will be right back !
