>>> When Schneier first started becoming well known, there was a meme for making cryptography jokes about him in the style of Chuck Norris jokes, so I used that for the name of the character based on him.
>>>
>>> A good example from the Disqus comments on the chapter:
>>>
>>> "Chuck Shiner doesn't know the meaning of the word ciphertext, because to him, everything is plaintext."

>>>> Cute. Cute, and extremely obscure. I don't feel bad at all about missing that one.

>>> Thanks. And I actually did talk to Bruce Schneier once, at a book signing with Neal Stephenson for Cryptonomicon, back in the 20th century 8-). He autographed the appendix of my copy.
>>>
>>> But the in-joke is something else about the name 8-)
