Some posts on security - brought about by the UK Plot:

Boing Boing had something to say about a recent Cato institute paper: Only traitors try to make us afraid of terrorists. They are right. Terrorism is about creating fear. Fearmongers are doing the terrorists jobs for them.

Next up- They actually publish good commentary in Slate. This article on the impossibility of being secure, is right on the money for most of it's length.

And the often hilarious wondermark has something to say as well :)
