Schneier Talk at Macalester College
On April 3, I gave a talk at Macalester College titled “Counterterrorism in America: Security Theater Against Movie-Plot Threats.” The audio and video of the talk are online.
How Australian Authorities Respond to Potential Terrorists
Watch the video of how the Australian authorities react when someone—dressed either as an American or Arab tourist—films the Sydney Harbor Bridge and a nuclear reactor.
The synopsis: The Arab is intercepted within three minutes both times, while the U.S. tourist is given instructions on how to get inside the nuclear facility.
Moral for terrorists: dress like an American.
By the way, Lucas Heights is a research reactor. It produces medical isotopes and performs research, and doesn’t produce power.
Citizen-Counterterrorist Training Video
From the Michigan State Police. The seven signs, according to the video:
Surveillance
Elicitation
Tests of security
Acquiring supplies
Suspicious people who “don’t belong”
Dry runs/trial runs
Deploying assets or getting into position
I especially like the scenes of concerned citizens calling the police. Anyone care to guess what the false alarm rate would be if everyone started making phone calls like this?

Friday Squid Blogging: Squid Birth Video
Amazing video of squid giving birth.
Marx Brothers on Security
Count the security lessons: bad password management, protocol failures, poor authentication, check fraud, and—I suppose—an attack made possible by poor bounds checking. What else?
2007 EFF Pioneer Award
Last Tuesday I accepted my EFF Pioneer Award. Here’s an audio of my speech, and here’s a blog report from the event.
I am very pleased to receive the award, and am simply stunned by this quote from Cory Doctorow:
Technology could never achieve what the fundamental values of a democratic society can attain. We can change the world with the power of ideas. I defy you to read Bruce’s incredible essays and not have it change the way you think about the world.
EDITED (4/6): Here’s a video.
Schneier on Video: Security Theater Against Movie Plot Threats
On June 10, 2006, I gave a talk at the ACLU New Jersey Membership Conference: “Counterterrorism in America: Security Theater Against Movie-Plot Threats.” Here’s the video.
EDITED TO ADD (2/10): The video is a little over an hour long. You can download the .WMV version directly here. It will play in the cross-platform, GPL VLC media player, but you may need to upgrade to the most recent version (0.8.6).
EDITED TO ADD (2/11): Someone put the video up on Google Video.
