Security Expert Criticizes Chertoff's Privacy Dismissals

A keynote speaker at a conference has criticized U.S. secretary of homeland security Michael Chertoff's comments that privacy is not sacrificed by anti-terrorism security measures."Privacy is part of security," Bruce Schneier told CTV's Canada AM. "We don't give up privacy to get security. And there's a lot of talk about that after 9/11 for terrorism -- that we must give up privacy in the name of security. But we know that's ridiculous."

Chertoff's security comments face opposition, Canada AM, September 27, 2007.
