> I would like to see laws that make storing PII as dangerous as storing nuclear waste.
This is a little extreme IMO. PII encompasses a lot of data, including benign things like email address stored only for authentication and contact purposes.
I mean, we could consider email like light waste, can't dump it in the environment like plastic trash, but if you handle it correctly with cheap disposal methods it will be ok.
Things like photos of IDs/passports should be considered yellowcake.
