While I can sort of see where you are coming from, I think there is something else worth pointing out that does make this at least somewhat Hacker News worthy.

While I can sort of see where you are coming from, I think there is something else worth pointing out that does make this at least somewhat Hacker News worthy. Bruce Schneier is a world leader in cryptographic analysis[1]. He is very much a part of the hacker community. He is well known for being quite analytical and to the point in a fashion that other "reporters" are without. I, for one, very much appreciate when he talks about issues of this magnitude, for that very reason, and I don't think I am alone here. [1] - http://schneier.com http://schneier.com
