In this Article, Professor Ohm considers whether laws passed by Congress regulating the use of technology should be technology specific or neutral.  Ohm asserts that the overwhelming opinion is that technology-neutral laws are superior because they address concerns such as responsiveness to evolving technology.  However, Ohm argues that this belief is misguided especially in areas of government search and surveillance.  According to Ohm, technology-specific laws are superior because it forces the Executive Branch to consult Congress when technology changes.  This will increase the role of the Legislature in national security and restore an important check on the Executive’s power.
