John Viega’s “the myths of security”.. Really??

This document is a critical review of John Viega’s 'The Myths of Security,' asserting the book reads like disjointed blog posts, leans heavily on McAfee references, and provides inconsistent, cursory takes on topics including TSA "security theater," mobile device risks, privacy, and anonymity. The reviewer argues that the brevity and oversimplification could mislead decision-makers, especially by downplaying smartphone data exposure and reducing complex issues to simplistic soundbites.
