Tradeoffs

purplejavatroll asked me to post about the bait car videos some time back when I followed some links both from BoingBoing and also from myTelus.  The problem really is that I don't expect anyone else to think that's interesting unless there's some context.  So.

Bruce Schneier has an article up about security trade offs that's a good read.  He talks about some of these things in Beyond Fear, which is also a good read if anyone wants to borrow it and thinks high blood pressure would be a nice change.  In this context, it's worthwhile to take a look at some videos of people being caught breaking into bait cars in Vancouver.

I'd guess that a bunch of you have probably already seen something like this on TV (or that's the impression I've had from conversations heard at work).  So, basically I'm a very slow repeater.
