The latest CRYPTO-GRAM just landed in my inbox. Notable is this quote:
"Security is a trade-off. When deciding whether to implement a security measure, we must balance the costs against the benefits. Large-scale fingerprinting is something that doesn't add much to our security against terrorism, costs an enormous amount of money that could be better spent elsewhere. Allocating the funds on compiling, sharing, and enforcing the terrorist watch list would be a far better security investment. As a security consumer, I'm getting swindled." - Bruce Schneier
CRYPTO-GRAM is usually a good read (even if you disagree with some of the points Bruce Schneier makes, he lays out his reasoning and it's always interesting).
I highly recommend subscribing.
