Stupid Security


Winners announced in the Stupid Security Competition.

"If you thought the accounting profession was bad news, just wait till you hear how stupid the security industry has become. Even before 9/11 a whole army of bumbling amateurs has taken it upon themselves to figure out pointless, annoying, intrusive, illusory and just plain stupid measures to "protect" our security."

Categories were broken up into "Inexplicable", "Intrusive", "Counterproductive", "Annoying", and "Egregious". The judges included privacy specialists and journalists.
