Recently I listened to an episode of the Silver Bullet security podcast that had Steve Bellovin and Matt Green as guests, discussing this then recently released report. It's pretty sobering to hear how government decision makers just blow off tech warnings. Bellovin has a story from his stint as FTC CTO, and how easy it is for people to convince themselves that doing something technical isn't really that hard. They never come right out and say it, but Dunning-Kruger must be in the back of their minds.
