I've been subscribed to schneier's crypto-gram news letter for years and his writing is usually very good both at clearing away the hype and at explaining what real security is.

His news letter is usually publish once a month.

It's listed in the article, but I'll post it again in this message.

Along the same lines, a columnist at The Oklahoma Daily has http://oudaily.com/news/2010/dec/06/col ... d-privacy/]some interesting points of his own.

And while I'm at it, has anyone heard anything solid and believable -- i.e., not from the tinfoil hat crowd -- about the TSA starting to label anyone opposing their latest measures as "domestic extremists"?

Yeah Shneier is usually a good and enlightening read.

It's security theater indeed. And on occasion it descend to farce.

As undercored by this piece of insanity http://www.redstate.com/e.../18/another-tsa-outrage/

Confiscating a soldiers nailclippers when the guy is also carrying an M-16? And is part of a group returning from Afghanistan in a charter flight...
