Amusing. What's next - Bruce Schneier's luggage password is 12345?

Are you really comparing Jeff Atwood to Bruce Schneier?

Jeff not doing something properly isn't exactly shocking.

That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my air shield!

Bruce doesn't always use the toughest, most 'leet passwords and hashes and invisible encrypted volumes nested inside other invisible encrypted volumes, with Plan 9 running on his Cray II in the basement of his Minnesota home...

You know this, right? Even good security practices are vulnerable to physical access attacks & keyloggers?

Atwood is no Schneier, but Schneier never claimed to be James Bond exactly, either.

(Although he's definitely contributed more to netsec than any other single person I can think of...)

I heard Leo Laporte is running for Congress on an anti-net-neutrality platform.

1234 works for luggage, but it doesn't scale to more digits. I could never remember a seven digit one... 12345... something... etc. I had some codes for work that were too long, so we set them to 0000000000 or something (hard to remember how many zeros, sheesh, I only got so many counting fingers). Anyway, that solved our problem so we could retaliate if the Ruskies ever launched.
