Senate's Privacy Hearing Draws Many Spectators, Few Lawmakers

There was a packed house for the hearing that the Senate Commerce Committee held about online privacy Wednesday. At least, it was packed with spectators. Most senators, on the other hand, appeared not to care. Though 25 senators are members of the committee, only three showed, and by the end, only Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., was left. Yet, make no mistake, it will be the Senate that leads online privacy legislation.
 
Though several bills have been introduced on the House side, everyone involved in the issue is waiting for Kerry’s bill, which has been in the works now since last summer.
