     And AES finalist Twofish.  (What we now call "AES" is actually
     Rijndael, see [3]http://csrc.nist.gov/archive/aes/index2.html )
     In the essay above, I did note a thread of pro-Establishment
     political
     correctness running all through the rhetoric.  Does he really buy
     it,
     is he just protecting his tenure in the Corporate Suits hierarchy,
     or
     is he tying a pork chop around the necks of a few inconvenient
     truths
     in hope that policymakers will at least play with them?
     Only Bruce Schneier knows the real Bruce Schneier Facts.  If I had
     to
     guess, I would say all three.  One thing we do know:  You won't
     catch
     him consorting with the peasants.
     :o)

   That knowledge can cut both ways.
   Here's a little bit of humor slander about him...
