Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff sat down with Threat Level on  
Monday in Silicon Valley to talk about laptop searches at the border,  
the government's new-found interest in computer security, and the  
continuing saga of overeager terrorist watch lists.

Among the revelations: It seems blog comments inspired him to propose  
a laptop-tracking application for those who had their computers seized  
at the border. He also explained why watch-list mismatches are the  
airlines' fault, and why the government is too secret.
