Me at the EastWest Institute
Back in May, I attended the EastWest Institute’s First Worldwide Cybersecurity Summit in Dallas. I only had eight minutes to speak, and tried to turn the dialog to security, privacy, and the individual.
EDITED TO ADD (9/1): Commentary.
Fear in a Political Ad
Carly Fiorina wants to scare Californians into voting for her.
Yes, terrorists kill—about as often as home appliances.
EDITED TO ADD (6/12): PolitiFact breaks down the ad. And we need to fear demon sheep (the best part starts around 2:20).
Infosec Television Commercial
LIGATT Security certainly hopes to scare people.
Video Interviews with Me
Mike Mimoso interviewed me at the RSA Conference last month.
Schneier on "Security, Privacy, and the Generation Gap"
Last month at the RSA Conference, I gave a talk titled “Security, Privacy, and the Generation Gap.” It was pretty good, but it was the first time I gave that talk in front of a large audience—and its newness showed.
Last week, I gave the same talk again, at the CACR Higher Education Security Summit at Indiana University. It was much, much better the second time around, and there’s a video available.
Bringing Lots of Liquids on a Plane at Schiphol
This would worry me, if the liquid ban weren’t already useless.
The reporter found the security flaw in the airport’s duty-free shopping system. At Schiphol airport, passengers flying to countries outside the Schengan Agreement Area can buy bottles of alcohol at duty-free shops before going through security. They are then permitted to take these bottles onto flights, provided that they have the bottles sealed at the shop.
Mr Stegeman bought a bottle, emptied it and refilled it with another liquid. After that he returned to the same shop and ‘bought’ the refilled bottle again. The shop sealed the bottle in a bag, allowing him to take it with him through security and onto a London-bound flight. In London, he transferred planes and carried the bottle onto a flight to Washington DC.
The flaw, of course, is the assumption that bottles bought at a duty-free shop actually come from the duty-free shop.
But note that 1) it’s the same airport as underwear bomber, 2) reporter is known for trying to defeat airport security, and 3) body scanners would have made no difference.
