Maybe it's just that Blaze's stuff seems falsifiable, and Schneier's stuff is slippery and abstract. At least we can argue rationally about the three-ounce rule. But if you accept Schneier's argument, there's no incremental discussion to be had.

Even if I agree with that (I do more than I don't), it's not productive. Regardless of whether "it's time for the TSA to go" (+34 yesterday last time I checked), the TSA isn't going anywhere. Shut up?
