Computer repair is about to get much more expensive

A new law in Texas requires PC techs to also carry a private investigators license. How this insane law was passed is beyond me. The relevant portion of the statute states:

(a) Unless the person holds a license as a security services contractor, a person may not:
(1) act as an alarm systems company, armored car company, courier company, guard company, [or] guard dog company, locksmith company, or private security consultant company;
(2) offer to perform the services of a company in Subdivision (1); or
(3) engage in business activity for which a license is required under this chapter.
...
(b) For purposes of Subsection (a)(1), obtaining or furnishing information includes information obtained or furnished through the review and analysis of, and the investigation into the content of, computer-based data not available to the public.

That college kid down the street that fixes your computer for beer money when you've been surfing porn sites and picked up some nasty bug? He now is required to either have a criminal justice degree or apprentice for three years before he can lay a finger on your keyboard.
