Dear Doc,
First of all, can I touch you? ;-) Bruce Schneier is a hero of mine. :-)
If you can share more of what he told you, we will all be fortunate.
What I don't get: how does the US government tolerate allowing another "J. Edgar Hoover" type snoop to spring up in their midst? The elites are just as vulnerable to ubiquitous surveillance as the rest of us!
