your barber is licensed for health reasons, just so you know many states now require a contractors license, and some very expensive insurance. Perhaps you should have to insure yourself if you're a security expert, and that would be enough to mitigate any damage you may cause.I have to tell you that the insurance would probably cost tens of thousands of dollars a year.
Regulation is good for the consumer, and when it comes to cyber security, it's a good idea to not let a scammer pass of his malware as a security program, and if he tried to, at least you would have his home address as a place to start the criminal investigation.
perhaps bonding would be another way, with a criminal background check and some other means of verifying your identity and address. Let's face it, it's ugly out there.
