I did. I tend to find schneier's commentary more calculated to gain press 
quotes and retweets rather than make serious points on a nuanced situation.

 Security theater is a favorite phrase of his, generally used to deride 
bogus security, and it is a tactic that he uses more than often possibly on 
a fight fire with fire basis.

English isn't my first language either, with all due respect. If M. Pouzin 
wishes, he might want to express his thoughts again in French, if you feel 
there's a communication gap here.
