America's TSA: $12B of expensive theater that fails 95% of security tests. Nick Pell explains why we should scrap it all on this Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1169On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The TSA's greatest "successes" — stopping the shoe bomber and underwear bomber — never actually happened. Passengers stopped them after TSA screening failed!Internal TSA audits reveal catastrophic failure rates: some airports let 95% of test weapons and bomb components through security. That's not protection — that's expensive theater with questionable reviews.The $12 billion annual TSA budget creates a deadly irony: people drive instead of fly to avoid airport hassles, resulting in thousands more road deaths since 2001. Safety theater kills.TSA theft rings and sexual assault cases reveal systemic problems, with agents claiming legal immunity from prosecution. Government accountability becomes government impunity.Master situational awareness: notice behavioral patterns, trust your instincts about people acting unusually nervous or rehearsed, and ask thoughtful questions. Human intelligence beats rigid checklists every time.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Amid a governmentwide effort to bring federal employees back to the office, a small but powerful biometrics office based in the Department of Homeland Security is now so packed that employees were briefly asked to bring their own chairs to work. An email viewed by FedScoop shows that employees of the Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) were at one point guided to bring their own chairs to work. That advice was quickly rescinded, with the email saying that despite the initial guidance, staff should not bring their own chairs to the office while thanking employees for their patience as they worked through logistical challenges. OBIM, which was established more than a decade ago to manage the biometric information used to make border security decisions, is based at the Transportation Security Administration's offices. Another email, also viewed by FedScoop, highlights the severe space constraints at OBIM. Employees were sent lists of conference rooms that could be used for seating options for work. The email said: “With these space limitations, we encourage staff to please be accommodating and share offices and workspaces to the extent it is possible. Please connect directly with your supervisor and division leadership to discuss creative seating solutions. Please remember that we are all in this together and are working to find viable solutions. Thank you again for your patience as we work through these logistical challenges.” Because there isn't enough office or cubicle space, it's possible that staffers could unintentionally expose information to those that don't need to know it, given their proximity to other people, one former OBIM employee said. As DOGE continues its decimation of the federal workforce, grinds various operations to a halt and touts dubious cost-savings claims, the congressional agency with deep experience rooting out fraud, waste and abuse in government released a litany of recommendations Tuesday that it says could save the public tens of billions of dollars. The Government Accountability Office's 15th annual report on federal programs that have “fragmented, overlapping, or duplicative goals or actions” identified 148 cost-cutting measures across 43 topic areas, delivering a playbook to Congress and federal agencies aimed at lowering costs, improving programs and increasing revenues. Comptroller General Gene Dodaro said in a press release that the GAO's updated report details “new and meaningful opportunities to save federal funds across a wide range of programs.” “By addressing this year's updated list, as well as open recommendations to both agencies and Congress from GAO's past work, the federal government could potentially save an additional” $100 billion, he added.

The National Science Foundation is taking steps to slash its workforce, including reducing the number of senior executive service roles as well as temporary and non-federal roles, according to an internal memo to staff obtained by FedScoop. The memo was emailed to staff Friday afternoon by Chief Management Officer Micah Cheatham. It also included plans to require in-person work starting June 16 and the elimination of the Division of Equity for Excellence in STEM in the next two months, which it announced publicly Friday as well. Details of the agency's workforce reduction plans come after its termination of hundreds of grants that don't align with President Donald Trump's policies, such as those that included diversity, equity and inclusion activities. Amid those actions, Sethuraman Panchanathan resigned his position as NSF's director. Panchanathan had been appointed by Trump during the president's first term. Per the memo, NSF began on Thursday a reduction-in-force of its senior executive service workforce, which is a designation for federal senior leadership and management officials. Of the 143 total SES roles — including vacant positions — that NSF had on Jan. 20, just 59 are needed under the agency's “new organizational structure and proposed future year budgets.” A bipartisan group of senators introduced legislation last week that would scale back the Transportation Security Administration's facial recognition program, giving travelers the right to not have their faces scanned when passing through airports. The lawmakers say their push for the Traveler Privacy Protection Act comes as the Department of Homeland Security component seeks to expand the use of facial recognition at hundreds of airports. Specifically, the bill would require the TSA to clearly inform passengers of their right to not participate in the DHS facial recognition program and bar the agency from providing worse treatment to passengers that choose not to participate. The legislation would also forbid the TSA from storing traveler facial recognition data indefinitely and from using the technology to target people or conduct mass surveillance. Sens. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., John Kennedy, R-La., Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Roger Marshall, R-Kan., are co-sponsors of the bill. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

May 6, 2025 ~ Tomorrow is the deadline to get your Real ID. Jessica Mayle, Regional Spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration, joins Kevin to discuss travel disruption concerns.

On Thursday, a shake-up in the President's cabinet: after it was announced that Mike Waltz would no longer serve as Trump's National Security Advisor, the President announced he would tap Waltz as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Now, Secretary of State Rubio will reportedly take up the role of interim NSA to the President, as many speculate the decision to relieve Waltz and several NSC staffers stems from the Signal group chat leak weeks ago. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss the Waltz news and breaks down several different Supreme Court cases. The REAL ID Act was enacted in 2005, several years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, after it was discovered that the hijackers used California IDs to board the planes. Now, nearly two decades later, the deadline to obtain a REAL ID is approaching. Starting May 7, Americans will need a REAL ID (or a passport) to fly domestically or enter government buildings. As the deadline draws nearer, many people are left feeling confused and unprepared for this new requirement. Adam Stahl, the Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Deputy Administrator at the Transportation Security Administration, joins us to explain the reasons behind this requirement and what individuals need to do to comply.

Senator Tommy Tuberville, a former college football coach turned senator, discusses his relentless efforts to protect women's sports from biological males. He talks about his recent initiatives, including a letter to state governors urging compliance with President Trump's executive order and the reintroduction of the Protection of Women and Girls in Olympic Sports Act. Tuberville also shares insights on the inefficiencies of the TSA and his proposals for privatization to enhance airline security. Additionally, Dr. Peter McCullough discusses the erosion of public trust in vaccines, particularly due to COVID-19 vaccines, which has led to decreased vaccination rates and increased diseases like measles. He criticizes the flu vaccine's effectiveness, citing a Cleveland Clinic study of 51,000 healthcare workers showing no benefit and potential harm. Finally, Utah State Representative Ken Ivory discusses Utah's historic monetary policy legislation, which allows up to 10% of the state's rainy day fund to be invested in precious metals. The bill, vetoed by the governor, would allow state vendors to be paid in gold and silver electronically. Ivory highlights the bill's unanimous support in the House and Senate and the governor's concerns about practicality and appropriation.

Guy Cavallo, the chief information officer of the Office of Personnel Management since July 2021, will retire from federal service on Jan. 13, he confirmed to FedScoop. Cavallo leaves federal service having held several top technology roles over the past decade, including as deputy CIO of the Small Business Administration and executive director of IT operations at the Transportation Security Administration. He also served as OPM's principal deputy CIO and acting CIO before being named permanent CIO. As the longest-tenured CIO of OPM in recent memory, Cavallo led that charge on a two-year sprint replacing or migrating over 50 applications from legacy on-premises data centers to the cloud and the launch of the new Postal Health Benefits System last year for more than 1.7 million postal workers and retirees. He touted the system as fully operational 100% of the time with no unscheduled downtime throughout the Open Season. The Pentagon's Chief Digital and AI Office recently completed a pilot exercise with tech nonprofit Humane Intelligence that analyzed three well-known large language models in two real-world use cases aimed at improving modern military medicine, officials confirmed Thursday. In its aftermath, the partners revealed they uncovered hundreds of possible vulnerabilities that defense personnel can account for moving forward when considering LLMs for these purposes. A Defense Department spokesperson told DefenseScoop the findings revealed biases that could impact the military's healthcare system, such as bias related to demographics.

This Day in Legal History: Squeaky Fromme ConvictedOn this day in 1975, Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, a devoted follower of cult leader Charles Manson, was found guilty by a federal jury in Sacramento, California, for attempting to assassinate President Gerald Ford. The incident occurred on September 5, 1975, in Sacramento's Capitol Park, where Fromme aimed a Colt .45 handgun at Ford as he greeted the public. Though the weapon did not discharge—later found to lack a bullet in the firing chamber—the act was a chilling reminder of the volatile political atmosphere of the 1970s. Fromme claimed she wanted to draw attention to environmental issues and the plight of California redwoods, framing her actions as a desperate bid to make her concerns heard.The trial was marked by Fromme's erratic behavior, including disruptions and self-represented courtroom antics that reflected her unwavering loyalty to Manson and his apocalyptic worldview. Prosecutors argued that Fromme's actions posed a genuine threat to the president's life, even though the gun had not fired. The jury deliberated for just over a day before convicting her of attempted assassination under federal law, a crime that carried a potential life sentence.The case underscored the rising threats to public officials during a turbulent era in American history, following closely on the heels of other high-profile political attacks. Sentenced to life imprisonment, Fromme served 34 years before being paroled in 2009. Her conviction remains a stark reminder of the enduring dangers posed by extremist ideologies and the individuals who act upon them.The Biden administration has proposed a rule to expand Medicare and Medicaid coverage to include weight-loss drugs, potentially providing access to millions of Americans with obesity while significantly increasing government healthcare costs. Medicare currently covers related medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro for diabetes but excludes obesity drugs such as Wegovy and Zepbound. Only 13 state Medicaid programs cover these high-cost treatments, which can exceed $1,000 monthly. The proposed rule could reduce patient out-of-pocket costs by up to 95% and offset expenses through lowered rates of obesity-linked diseases, including diabetes and heart conditions.The Congressional Budget Office estimates the expanded Medicare coverage could cost $35 billion over nine years. However, these costs might decrease after 2025 when semaglutide, the active ingredient in several weight-loss drugs, becomes subject to government price negotiations under the Inflation Reduction Act. Drugmakers Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly stand to benefit from this policy, as the global market for obesity drugs is projected to reach $130 billion by 2030.The proposal is seen as a win for patients and physicians advocating for broader access, but it also poses challenges to efforts to reduce government spending. Some, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., argue that healthier food initiatives could address obesity more affordably. Novo and Lilly have been working to demonstrate additional health benefits of these medications, aiming to expand insurance coverage and increase acceptance among policymakers. The proposed rule must undergo a formal review process before implementation.Biden Proposes Medicare, Medicaid Coverage of Obesity Drugs (1)Donald Trump's incoming administration faces a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape with increased cyber threats, growing system vulnerabilities, and challenges from generative AI. Balancing national security with deregulation goals adds uncertainty to its approach, particularly as it inherits initiatives from the Biden era. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), established during Trump's first term, remains pivotal for safeguarding critical infrastructure but faces scrutiny from Republicans over its efforts to counter election misinformation. Proposed rule changes under the 2022 Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act (CIRCIA), which require entities to report cyber incidents, await finalization amid industry pushback.The Biden administration emphasized industry-specific cybersecurity rules, such as water system safeguards, aviation security standards, and transportation cyber risk requirements, but these have faced challenges, including legal and political opposition. Trump's administration may prioritize oversight while easing regulatory burdens, potentially reducing the influence of agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in cybersecurity enforcement.CISA's future is uncertain, with calls to shift it under the Transportation Security Administration, which could impact its authority. Jen Easterly, CISA's current director, will step down on Inauguration Day, leaving leadership decisions to Trump. A possible reduction in enforcement, especially targeting executives, may be welcomed by companies in the cybersecurity space, which have faced intense scrutiny in recent years. The administration's ultimate stance on these policies remains unclear, signaling a potential shift away from the Biden administration's regulatory approach.Trump's Cybersecurity Faces Biden's Legacy, Rising Threats AheadDisney has agreed to pay $43.3 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that its female employees in California earned significantly less than male colleagues over an eight-year span. Filed in 2019 by LaRonda Rasmussen, the lawsuit claimed disparities of up to $20,000 annually for women holding the same job titles as men, including those with less experience. The case eventually grew to represent 9,000 current and former female employees.As part of the settlement, Disney will employ a labor economist for three years to assess and address pay equity among full-time, non-union California employees below the vice president level. An analysis of Disney's HR data, conducted by a University of California professor, found that women were paid approximately 2% less than men during the analyzed period.Although Disney denied wrongdoing, a spokesperson emphasized the company's commitment to fair pay. The settlement agreement, filed in California state court, awaits judicial approval.Disney settles suit over women's pay for $43 million | ReutersPresident-elect Donald Trump's plan to use the military in deportation efforts breaks with U.S. norms against deploying troops domestically but may avoid legal challenges if confined to support roles, such as building detention camps or transporting migrants. The 1878 Posse Comitatus Act bars the military from law enforcement activities, but exceptions, such as the Insurrection Act and National Guard deployments under state control, create legal ambiguity. Trump's proposal to increase deportation capacity by 20 times would require extensive use of these exceptions and could lead to conflicts with state governors.Critics argue that this approach undermines constitutional norms, with legal scholars highlighting the potential for overreach. Governors refusing to deploy their National Guard could force Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act, historically used for civil rights and law enforcement emergencies, though courts typically defer to presidential authority in national security matters. Experts warn that expanded military roles could open avenues for legal challenges, especially if funding or state jurisdiction issues arise.This plan raises significant concerns about its impact on democratic principles. Using the military for mass deportations would set a troubling precedent for civilian governance and law enforcement. While legally feasible in limited roles, the proposal's broad ambitions risk undermining constitutional traditions and provoking legal and political pushback.Trump plan to use military in deportations should stand up in court | Reuters This is a public episode.

We start focusing on the resurgence of the state-sponsored cyber espionage group Volt Typhoon. This group has been targeting critical infrastructure, particularly outdated devices like Cisco and Netgear routers, and has successfully compromised a significant percentage of these devices in a short time frame. The episode highlights the vulnerabilities in the energy sector, where third-party breaches account for a substantial portion of incidents, emphasizing the need for improved vendor responsibility and proactive security measures.Host Dave Sobel also covers the progress of the Secure by Design initiative led by CISA, which has seen over 100 companies commit to adopting secure development practices. This movement is gaining traction as organizations recognize the importance of reducing vulnerabilities in software. Additionally, the Transportation Security Administration has proposed new cybersecurity regulations aimed at protecting high-risk pipelines and railroad operators, mandating the establishment of cyber risk management programs and timely reporting of incidents.The episode shifts focus to Microsoft, which is implementing a price hike on various services, including a 25% increase for Teams Phone and up to a 40% increase for Power BI. This move is part of Microsoft's strategy to align pricing across its services, reflecting the growing usage of premium features among enterprise customers. Sobel notes the significance of these changes in the context of the broader IT landscape, particularly as Windows 11 ISO media for ARM64 PCs becomes available, allowing for clean installations on compatible devices.Finally, Sobel discusses the evolving role of IT consultancies, which are increasingly focusing on artificial intelligence, data governance, and platform integration as they prepare for 2025. The episode highlights the importance of clean and accessible data in leveraging AI technologies and the need for organizations to modernize their legacy systems. Sobel concludes with reflections on the ethical implications of AI in creative industries, citing a controversial AI-generated interview by a Polish radio station and the positive use of AI in restoring the voice of country music legend Randy Travis. Four things to know today00:00 Volt Typhoon Resurfaces with Advanced Attacks on Critical Infrastructure, Exploiting Legacy Routers02:48 CISA and TSA Cybersecurity Efforts as Secure-by-Design and NIST Framework Gain Ground06:14 Microsoft's Price Hike Targets Monthly Subscriptions and Premium Services, Teams Phone to Rise 25%09:32 IT Consultancies Double Down on AI, Data, and Integration as Organizations Modernize for 2025  Supported by:  https://timezest.com/mspradio/https://www.coreview.com/msp  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
