Minny Attorney General Takes on Tom Lyden

Or something like that.

In a move that can only seen as a response to this blog's outing of Tom Lyden's questionable obtaining of personal information via LexisNexis, Minnesota's Attorney General Mike Hatch today called on the Minnesota Legislature to enact legislation that would make it very difficult for private firms (like LexisNexis) to obtain personal information of Minnesota's citizens.

While this move is being marketed by Hatch and others as an attempt to curtail identity theft, Fogbot sees it as a move to end the bullying of Dead Pool commissioners by questionable "journalists".
