Quote of the Day: Bruce Schneier

["Fergie" <fergdawg () netzero net>]

"If you can't get the threat model right, you can't hope to
secure the system."

- Bruce Schneier, over on his Schneier on Security blog,
commenting on how Diebold still just doesn't get it.

Bruce's comment is in reaction to a statement from a Diebold
Elections Systems spokesman who said "For there to be a problem
here, you're basically assuming a premise where you have some
evil and nefarious election officials who would sneak in and
introduce a piece of software. I don't believe these evil
elections people exist."

Wow.
