This article demonstrates what I like about Matt Blaze's physical security writing that I don't like about Schneier's.
Both are computer security experts by training, but Blaze's writing has a concrete engineering-driven perspective that Schneier's lacks. Schneier's writing always "feels" right, but leaves you with the sense that's it's not based on any operational reality.
It's probably not a coincidence that Matt Blaze has done formal research on physical security topics (safecracking, wiretapping, etc) --- in addition to being a bona fide computer scientist.
