Our guests this week are Bruce Schneier and Jesse Drucker

The show:

Segment One:

In earlier shows we have mentioned the Stuxnet worm and the story that had spread about it being the cause of centrifuge failures in Iran’s nuclear facilities. Bruce Schneier has other ideas about this worm and will be sharing them with us on the show tonight.

Segment two:

As ‘austerity’ garners more hits around the web and people are told they will have to sacrifice to get through tough economic times we talk with Jesse Drucker about corporate tax dodges and loopholes that cost the US government billions of dollars each year.
