Charles C. Mann på The Atlantic intervjuar Bruce Schneier i artikeln "Homeland Insecurity". Artikeln tar bl a upp många intressanta aspekter på säkerhet i efterdyningarna av attacken på World Trade Center i september förra året.

"I called Schneier on a cell phone to report my delay. I had to shout over the noise of all the other people on their cell phones making similar calls. "What a mess," Schneier said. "The problem with airport security, you know, is that it fails badly."

For a moment I couldn't make sense of this gnomic utterance. Then I realized he meant that when something goes wrong with security, the system should recover well. In Seattle a single slip-up shut down the entire airport, which delayed flights across the nation." - Charles C. Mann
