Schneier Says We Don't Need a Cybersecurity Czar

Trailrunner7 writes "Threatpost.com reports that security guru Bruce Schneier says not only should the NSA not run cybersecurity for the federal government, no one should. 'Really what I think is it shouldn't be anybody. We do better without a top-down hierarchy. Our economic and political systems work best when there isn't a dictator in charge, when there isn't one organization in charge. My feeling is there shouldn't be one organization in charge. Not only shouldn't it be the NSA, it shouldn't be anybody,' Schneier said."

    disclaimer: in my gp post, I said 9th (and that might work too) but I meant 10th.

    afa the Commerce Clause... they can't use it nowadays... but maybe they can. Rehnquist's Court put a stop to the broad interpretation of the Clause, argueing broad interpretation justifies a federal police state... and no one wants that now that the Republicans are out of office (and losing members left and right). Then again, Rehnquist has been gone a few years... it could swing back, but I doubt it will happen under a liberal administration.
