OK. You have people scamming their way into getting your phone records. HP executives dropping like flies for doing the same. It is big news nowadays, and it even has a (somewhat credible) definition now - “pretexting.”

What does our fine team of Washington legislators do? They call on wireless company executives to testify on the whole matter.

What in the hell is anyone going to learn from that (other than the fact that Congress loves grandstanding)?!
