I would really like to see Bruce Schneier's opinion on this.

  Uh, why him in particular? There are other competent cryptologists out there, y'know :-)

    Squids.

    Well, if Bruce passed comment on it, it would be publicity, bringing it to the attention of many that would be interested.

  He called it pointless 'security theater' and recommended using a faster algorithm like MD5 to reduce delays at security checkpoints since terrorists will just print their own boarding passes anyways.

    He would call it that when applying this solution to that specific problem. In general, I don't think he would say that when the proposal is that people should use scrypt to hash the passwords they store.
