That Somini Sengupta fellow is a good writer. I enjoyed the article too, although I may have twitched in recognition of the final sentence. The times in which I currently write could change beyond my best foresight in 20 years. And for all practical purposes it seems fascism is on the menu. I might only add one thing to the article, which is that if you are sincere, fsck it and keep going!

Stewart Baker, who has also written about cryptography, served as the National Security Agency’s chief lawyer, and debated Mr. Schneier on occasion…

It should have said:

Stewart Baker, a soulless government robot…

Don’t break the rules. Walk between the lines. Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?

Some of the comments on those articles really missed the point… One of them degenerated into “zomg Bruce is teh dumb cause $OS is supersecure!!one1” being repeated over and over.

Some people, who think they know security, really seem to not realize that its the steps you take to lock down a system that make it secure, not how it is out of box…
