"We don't want to put American companies at any disadvantage."

"Shouldn't insecure devices be regarded as, in effect, defective products, consumer products that are perhaps as dangerous as a toy with small parts that children may swallow?"

"I agree that individuals bear a part of the responsibility."

"But we also need swifter enforcement, and severe and appropriate punishment, to effectively deter bad actors."
