Opinions
Schneier is highly critical of the TSA and terms their policies "security theater".[1]
Commenting on a leaked copy of the Compliance with Court Orders Act, which he termed "the most braindead piece of legislation I've ever seen," he opined that whoever "wrote this either has no idea how technology works or just doesn't care."[2]
September 11th
Schneier may not have directly stated his opinion about the September 11th attacks, but has remarked that "for me personally, Binney's decision to sign Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth's petition only increases his credibility."[3]
