I'd like to note that I am a big fan of Bruce Schneier's columns and
articles, but that a lot of my friends who are in business, and have
ties to the security industry, think that what he says is not worth
the paper it could be printed on. In other words, there are lots of
folks with influence who do not agree with him for one reason or
another (even, gasp, ignorance perhaps!), so I would not castigate the
gentleman for his views in that regard. I agree, reading "Beyond Fear"
should be a must-read for anyone with a computer!

Just my 2 JPY,
