DHS exec takes hard questions on cybersecurity
Networkworld: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security sent its highest-ranking official ever to speak at the Black Hat conference this week, and its Deputy Secretary Jane Holl Lute ended up fielding a few tough questions from skeptical computer security professionals in attendance.

"Now as the TSA slows down the air travel, DHS will slow down the commerce."
