Along Comes an Excuse

• Security by excuse and naked emperors

  • Hang the Baker

• Recent excuses:

  • Cyber terrorism (What exactly is that?)
  • Cyber crime
  • Protecting intellectual property
  • Spies are everywhere
  • They bombed the WTC
  • It's the only way to save us from evil

• Punishments way out of proportion

  • Punishment as public policy for deterrence
