Interesting wording

"New FTC boss Jon Leibowitz has promised that one thing he'll be tough on is consumer privacy".

One could easily read that as being tough on consumer privacy in the sense that he will help erode consumer privacy. Were one to want to remove all doubt of the intent, it should be written more like "he'll be tough on entities that endanger consumer privacy".
