Bruce Schneier Chief Technical Officer, British Telecom - Counterpane Security expert Bruce Schneier looks at the systems we have in place post-9/11, revealing which of them actually work and which ones are simply 'security theater' against 'movie-plot threats.' He discusses the non-security motivations for much of our nation's security, and explains how future technological developments will leave us less safe, and not more. The security vs. privacy dichotomy is a false one; the true trade-off is liberty vs. control. Free and open to the public Internationally renowned security expert Bruce Schneier has authored eight books -- including 'Beyond Fear' and 'Secrets and Lies' and hundreds of articles and academic papers. Schneier has regularly appeared on television and radio, has testified before Congress, and is a frequent writer and lecturer on issues surrounding security and privacy.
