If it is signed by the governor, the law would be the first of its kind in the country. artemis Technology Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:55:17 -0500 Googling a person's name or even looking at their public facebook info is reasonable. Asking for passwords is like requesting a person's diary, photo albums, and requesting that they wear a wire so that their conversations with friends and family can be monitored by the prospective employer.
