norman: thats why they created new laws and reinforced existing ones.

Explanation:

Norman mentions creating new laws and reinforcing existing ones. This implies that security procedures were made stronger. "Strengthened" means made stronger, which fits the context. "Recognized" means acknowledged, which doesn't fit. "Interacted with" means had an interaction, which is not relevant. "Diminished" means made smaller or weaker, which is the opposite of what the context suggests.

Answer:

strengthened
