Hacker?
You mean Bruce Schneier, who runs Counterpane (http://www.counterpane.com/whycrypto.html)
and the developer of TwoFish, one of the proposed AES?  Who wrote the definitive text
"Applied Cryptography" and make a good living showing up the shortcomings of
various wannabe security products?  Who probably knows more about cyrpto than
the sum of up to the 98 percentile of the members of this list?
Is this damning him with faint praise or what?
