Well written. It's painfully obvious that Howard Schmidt's "articulate incompetence" is in full force. This author is right on. Howard was a legend in his time, and never expanded his knowledge. I had a chance to listen to one of his "canned" speaches a couple years ago. It was THE EXACT same lecture he gave while he was working for the Air Force just 5 or so years ago. Same dated content that some in the audience thought was interesting. Howard knows nothing of "real" computer security. He's an un-educated, dated forensics and virus guy who leveraged and took advantage of his status while a "Federal Agent," to get him free trips to australia and positions of importance within corporate america and now our government. UNBELIEVABLE.... I hope he's making good money.....

Hmmm...I wonder...Does Howard even have his CISSP??? Isn't he like the president of the ISSA???? I bet he couldn't desribe a syn-flood attack if his life depended on it.
