I found this article via a post at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schneier.com\/blog\/archives\/2015\/02\/the_obsolescenc.html\">Schneier&#8217;s blog<\/a> and the comments (as is quite typical) are very interesting.  Several pointed out that simply knowing where something is doesn&#8217;t necessarily provide much utility, essentially all of our bombers and missile silos are known to the inch, yet they largely remain &#8216;safe&#8217; because to take them on is to start a full-scale war.  However, as I have attempted to show <a href=\"http:\/\/sol-biotech.com\/wordpress\/2012\/01\/24\/flipping-the-big-red-switch\/\">before<\/a>, if we are to be involved in a war with a sophisticated adversary, we are not likely to be attacked in any conventional sense, so conventional weapons\/systems are likely to be totally useless and represent an incredibly expensive drag on our economy.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I thought my reader(s) might find this interesting.
