Story: Schneier on security

• 
• 

Schneier is a techie cryptographer, not a homeland security expert. He is not a legitimate source of information on cyber-terrorism. This was a softball interview... a wet, sloppy kiss for a guy who knows nothing about the history of al-Qaeda or their efforts to adopt modern technologies. Nor does he understand the economic warfare aspects of modern international terrorism -- aspects that make cyber attacks pertinent to the strategic goals of groups like al-Qaeda. And finally, he has never once acknowledged that cyber-terrorism isn't and has never only been about "terror."

see Black Ice: The Invisible Threat of Cyber-Terrorism. Schneier must be put in his proper context.
