Security quotes of the week

Note to the world: You will not be able to effectively censor selected content from YouTube -- and "blasphemous" material (however you define it) can be mirrored around the planet. Your filtering systems will fail in large degrees. You have two real world choices: (a) Get used to the fact that you can't control the planet's information, and if you wish, fight information you don't like with more information, not attempted censorship. Or (b) Cut off the Internet totally (if you can), and stay in the 13th century where you appear to be comfortable. Good luck with that latter choice.
-- Lauren Weinstein

I have never seen an industry with more gaping security holes. If our financial industry regarded security the way the health-care sector does, I would stuff my cash in a mattress under my bed.

Actually that might not be a bad idea.
