Hello and welcome to Rational Security, the Triple Entente Beer Summit edition.

I'm Shane Harris of The Daily Beast, and we've got a special treat for you this week.

It is our second live show.

We got together with some of our sister podcast, the Lawfare podcast and the

Steptoe Cyber Podcast, this week in the Washington, D.C. neighborhood of Bloomingdale at the Old

Engine 12 restaurant lovingly known to locals like me as the firehouse. This was the second time,

of course, that we've gotten together, and we had a great turnout and a lot to discuss with our friends who came to sit in the audience. This week, of course, we had new developments

in the battle over unlocking an iPhone used in the San Bernardino shootings. We had revelations

of a cyber war plan that the U.S. developed against Iran and news on the countering violent extremism front.

I really think you're going to like the show. Thanks for tuning in. And we will be back with you

next week with our regular program. Welcome to the Triple Entente beer summit here at the

Washington Firehouse. This is with Shane Harris.

Shane, say hello.

I'm Shane Harris of Rational Security. Good to be here.

And Ben Wittis. I'm Benjamin Wittis, and this is the Lawfare podcast.

And Tamara Wittis.

Hi, I'm Tamara Wittis of Rational Security.

And Alan Cohn.

Hi, I'm Alan Cohn of the Steptoe Cyber Law Podcast.

And I'm Stuart Baker, holding the record for returning to the Beer Summit more times than any other lawyer.

We're also here with a great audience, and we will be turning over the last portion of the show to the audience and their questions.

But let's jump right in the issue.
