Bruce Schneier is a computer security expert.
He has been lambasting what he calls "Security Theater". That is, security designed to make you feel secure, but doesn't actually make you more secure.
http://www.schneier.com/essay-038.htmlThe events of September 11 were a statistical anomaly. Even counting the toll they took, 2,978 people in the US died from terrorism in 2001. That same year, 157,400 Americans died of lung cancer, 42,116 in road accidents, and 3,454 from malnutrition.
Yep. More people in the US starved to death than were killed in terrorist acts in 2001.
