Schneier agrees we’re terrorising ourselves

It’s been over a decade since I first read Applied Cryptography. Bruce Schneier’s been in the news more and more during that time, as security becomes something about which more people are aware. He’s always contributing intelligent thoughts to the dialogue, like today’s entry on his blog.
Two weeks ago Jenn and I flew down the Bay Area and as we were leaving PDX there were some gulf war vet helicopter pilots hurrying to finish their coffees so they could board the plane sans liquid. One of them said, “When are people here going to realise they’re just terrorising themselves?”
I couldn’t decide what category to blog this under but culture seems as good as any.
