Security theater != security

Congrats to my friend Bruce Schneier for a lovely write up in the Minneapolis City Pages. If you're happy to be able to carry lighters on planes again, thank him.

If you've never seen Bruce talking about security, follow that link to see a video interview with him on his company website.

You can also listen to his panel at Penguicon 5.0 entitled Security and Psychology (Part 1 | Part 2 - large files, but worth it).

When I realized *that* is who the guy trying to get into Frank's laptop in the free hugs suite at Penguicon when the music stopped playing, I was basically in awe. ;)

It would have been way better if he'd actually managed to pull it off, though.

That would have been awesome. And I think even Frank would have been in agreement! ;)
