The Decline of American Infrastructure
Saw an interesting article, Blasting American Infrastructure Away that claims the US infrastructure is at greater risk from our own government’s lack of foresight and neglect than from foreign terrorists.
Lots of good info, including the ASCE estimate that it will take $1.6 trillion just to bring America’s infrastructure up to a grade of B!
How to foil wiretaps
Wired article about “How to foil wiretaps.”
Not quite sure how I feel about this. Is it a good idea to publish this?
On the other hand, can this information be trusted? If you are a conspiracy theorist, you might argue that this information was published at the government’s request.

Hard to know – one way or another.
