On the Atlantic blog, James Fallows has a few [thoughts about security](http://jamesfallows.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/12/yearend_pensees_cont_security.php).

In sharing them, he compliments Cato’s own “precocious” Ben Friedman, and endorses our January counterterrorism conference: “I hope that everyone who can possibly be in Washington on Jan 12–13, including \[DHS Secretary-designee Janet\] Napolitano, will attend this conference, at Cato, about rational and non-hysteric ways to keep America secure.”
