	"Beyond Fear", Bruce Schneier, 2003
		Schneier shows how security should work, and does work, presenting basic concepts in lay terms with crystal clarity.
		Schneier does not tell you how to prepare a security system as such, but does illustrate what goes on in the decision-making process.
		Schneier's invention of "default to insecure" is not really any more understandable than the more conventional terms of fail-safe or fail- open.

	Homeland Insecurity
		Schneier is hardly against technology—he's the sort of person who immediately cases public areas for outlets to recharge the batteries in his laptop, phone, and other electronic prostheses.
		Schneier's style marks him as a true nerd—someone who knows the potential, both good and bad, of technology, which in our technocentric era is an asset.
		Schneier testified before Congress against restrictions on encryption, campaigned for crypto freedom on the Internet, co-wrote an influential report on the technical snarls awaiting federal plans to control cryptographic protocols, and rallied 75,000 crypto fans to the cause in his free monthly e-mail newsletter, Crypto-Gram.

	Bruce Schneier an international security expert and author
		But Bruce Schneier, an international security expert and author of numerous books on security technology, said the government should focus more on changing the culture of U.S. intelligence agencies.
		Schneier: A czar is different, because a czar's role is coordination.
		Schneier: Making changes at the top is going to have much less effect than changing the culture throughout the intelligence community.

		Schneier helps the reader to understand the issues at stake, and how to best come to one's own conclusions, including the vast infrastructure we already have in place, and the vaster systems--some useful, others useless or worse--that we're being asked to submit to and pay for.
		Schneier continues "or what level of risk is acceptable." That can certainly have a subjective component, but even subjective components can conflict with each other and be internally inconsistent, indicating a problem in the evaluation.
		Although Schneier is a technology fan and it is his livelihood, he realizes that sometimes a live security guard can provide better security than cutting-edge (but still fallible) face-recognition scanners, for instance.

		Bruce Schneier, master cryptographer and idol of the computer underground, targets those short-attention-spanners in his latest book, "Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World." Aiming straight for the vaunted "general audience," he peppers the 400-plus pages with Yogi Berra quotes, analogies drawn from "Star Wars" and trivia tidbits from Greek mythology.
		Schneier's best-known book, "Applied Cryptography," a geek bible of the '90s, trumpeted strong encryption as the key to perfect online security -- "a mathematical utopia." Better cryptography, the book claimed, would spell the end of hackable networks and protect even the measliest Hotmail communiqués.
		Schneier looks back on his optimistic pronouncements with more than a hint of embarrassment.

	Write down your password today \| The Register
		Security guru Bruce Schneier has backed calls from Microsoft's Jesper Johansson urging users to write down their passwords.
		Schneier - well known for his original thinking and ability to apply common sense to security issues - advocates a low-tech solution to the password conundrum.
		But Schneier is also enthusiastic about a much more low-tech approach - think of difficult-to-guess passwords, write them down and keep them on a bit of paper in your wallet.

		Early in Beyond Fear, Schneier writes, "We need to move beyond fear and start making sensible security trade-offs," so, naturally, one of my first questions was how to convince people to think of security in terms of trade-offs.
		Bruce Schneier: People certainly don't go through this thought process explicitly in their head, but people certainly have a natural intuition regarding security trade-offs.
