Technology Proficiency Index

Guaranteed that a large chunk of the NSA wiretap fiasco was driven by people like the incompetent Jane Harman who just didn’t have the technical knowhow to ask questions. Pushing for transparency is great, like the Sunlight Foundation wants to do, but is anyone tracking technology ability? Is there an index of some sort?

Idea: make it a universal index – everyone who wants to takes a test and gets a number – and slap it on your perpetual resume (LinkedIn). Value to an employer increases as the force multiplier does.
