Press

I am very pleased when people notice my work and talk about it. Part of my life as a pundit is to help cut through security baloney and explain things as clearly as possible to normal people in every day language.

Over the years, my work has been extensively covered in the popular press. I am most proud of two stories. The Wall Street Journal covered my work in a long interview published Monday July 18, 2005. And more recently in February 2007, the University of Virginia College of Arts & Science magazine did a piece on my work.
