🧦 TSA to End Shoe Removal Policy at Select Airport Checkpoints According to a federal source, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will no longer require passengers to remove their shoes at certain U.S. airport checkpoints. The change will roll out gradually, starting with airports that adopt newer CT scanning tech and biometric pre-screening systems. The move aims to improve speed and convenience—but privacy advocates warn it may come at the cost of expanded surveillance and pre-clearance tracking. So the trade-off is this: No more removing your shoes... But say hello to facial scans, biometric profiling, and AI-driven traveler scoring. This isn’t about comfort. It’s about control. 🔗 Full story: https://www.foxnews.com/us/tsa-end-shoe-removal-policy-some-airport-security-checkpoints-government-source-says #TSA #SurveillanceState #TravelRights #BETTRNewswire #FacialRecognition #BiometricSecurity #FreedomToFly #DigitalPrivacy https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/07/08/tsa-to-end-shoe-removal-policy-at-some-airport-security-checkpoints-government-source-says.html

🐾 Legal Catfight: Nonprofit Sues Founder’s Daughter Over Medford Sanctuary Property The tragedy at Happy Cat Sanctuary—where founder Chris Arsenault and over 100 cats perished in a fire—is now followed by a legal battle. The nonprofit that operated the sanctuary has filed suit against Arsenault’s daughter, Kristen Arsenault, over control of the Medford, NY property. 📑 Kristen claims she’s the rightful trustee of the Christopher Arsenault Irrevocable Trust, created in 2023 to protect the sanctuary's mission and assets. 🚫 The nonprofit says not so fast—arguing the trust can’t own the sanctuary under NY law, and only the board has legal authority over its future. 🐱 Meanwhile, concerns swirl over the sanctuary’s condition, its remaining animals, and whether personal interests are interfering with public trust. JSA2026 believes in: Transparency in nonprofit governance Protecting charitable assets from power struggles Ensuring animal welfare always comes first #HappyCatSanctuary #MedfordNY #AnimalWelfare #NonprofitLaw #NYLegalNews #BETTRNews #TurnNYRed #JSA2026 https://longisland.news12.com/nonprofit-that-operated-happy-cat-sanctuary-sues-founders-daughter-for-control-of-medford-property?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR73RdaGCqxfsSOMa47WalTL36VsbOz5rXe_RjFu9TivOtlaTVgNp40xqg7ixA_aem_p36tuMMSTAZqYlnm1QeJdw

🌊 America’s Water Crisis: Millions Still Don’t Have Clean Water While D.C. argues over foreign aid, millions of Americans in rural and urban areas still don’t have access to safe drinking water. From Jackson, Mississippi to tribal lands across the West, aging infrastructure, contamination, and neglect are creating a third-world water crisis—inside the richest country on Earth. Children are bathing in bottled water. Schools are using porta-potties. Entire towns are under boil-water alerts year-round. Yet billions are being sent abroad while American pipes literally rot underground. This isn’t just a policy failure—it’s a betrayal. #WaterCrisisUSA #FixOurPipes #InfrastructureMatters #AmericaFirstStartsAtHome #BETTRNews 🔗 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/02/us/jackson-mississippi-water-crisis.html
