Hear!  Hear!  I am willing to offer my services as an expert witness
to anyone who wants to bring suit against TRW Credit or any similar
organization on grounds of negligence for failing to provide adequate
computer security measures.  This includes banks, insurance companies,
major retail organizations, e.g., Sears, Roebuck & Co., oil companies,
credit card companies, e.g., VISA, and others.
