I had to get to work so I couldn't post more about the Today show piece on it. Both lawyers and lawmakers are saying it's a complete invasion of privacy.. the equivalent of making someone provide them with their house keys so their house can be searched. The biggest issue though, was that they'd have all the information that they aren't allowed to ask about.
When I was interviewing for my first IT job, I included a URL of my personal web site because part of the job was going to be maintaining the department's intranet site. However, I chose to give them that URL and I knew it included the things they weren't allowed to ask me about. I also already worked for that health system and was looking to transfer, which I see as different than a new hire. And, part of my logic was that I wouldn't want to work for someone who had a problem with me having young children anyway. As it turned out, the department was very family friendly! The man who became my boss did say something like "You know that web site had all the information that we're not allowed to ask on it, don't you?" I said "Yes, I know and I'm not concerned about that"
