Bruce Schneier joins EFF board

Minneapolis-based cryptographer, blogger, and security expert Bruce Schneier has joined the board of online civil rights group EFF. Schneier, whose site Schneier on Security is a must-read, says, "EFF is one of the leading organizations fighting the government's unconstitutional spying, marshaling legal and technological expertise to battle surveillance in the courtroom and in Congress. I'm excited to work together with the board and the staff as we learn more about this spying and how we can shut it down."
