Security god Bruce Schneier's latest Cryptogram newsletter is just fantastic. He deals with biometrics, the failure of face recognition, and proposed reforms to the US security infrastructure. I asked him a few months ago at a conference if anyone had asked him to participate in discussion groups on the subject of security in the wake of 9/11. He said that while a few "political" people had contacted him with encouragement, no one had tapped him directly. If there is someone that is more needed to guide us in these matters, I'd like to know.
