Schneier booted from House TSA Hearing witness list
http://j.mp/GTMC9D (Schneier)
"On Friday, at the request of the TSA, I was removed from the witness
list. The excuse was that I am involved in a lawsuit against the TSA,
trying to get them to suspend their full-body scanner program. But
it's pretty clear that the TSA is afraid of public testimony on the
topic, and especially of being challenged in front of Congress. They
want to control the story, and it's easier for them to do that if I'm
not sitting next to them pointing out all the holes in their position.
Unfortunately, the committee went along with them."
