The way people think about security, especially security on computer networks, is almost always wrong.

In particular, the consequences of going wrong--and all these systems go wrong sometimes--are rarely considered. For these reasons Schneier believes that most of the security measures envisioned after September 11 will be ineffective, and that some will make Americans less safe.
