Security versus Privacy.

Security guru and leading cryptographer Bruce Schneier has an excellently-argued article on the Wired site discussing why the security versus privacy “debate” that is constantly being discussed (especially post-911) does not reflect the true nature of the choice - which is in fact one of liberty versus control. Bruce is also the author of the security-analysis free monthly newsletter Crypto-gram.
I was about to point out that whilst a good read the article hasn’t much to do with photojournalism, but on second-thought the security vs. privacy “debate” actually forms the basis for a whole host of the restrictions that are making the job of a press photographer increasingly difficult.
