The CFAA is too blunt of an instrument. At the very least it should have options for lesser charges.

But for some reason every politician's reaction to cyber events is to make the CFAA more draconian. President Obama is actually in favor of adding more provisions by amendment this year.

I'm not sure of the correct way to handle cybercrime laws, but I know the CFAA isn't it.
