My worry with this is , if by some miracle it was made law, what would happen if they target innocent people.
It would also have serious consequences if they accidentally target a foreign government's computers.

Sounds to me like the same kind of doolally proposals that come out of the European Parliament and keep the Sun in headlines. The vast majority of those never get anywhere near law. I suspect this Senator is just grandstanding to get headlines. Is he up for re-election soon?
