Drugs and cheating: Half of U.S. nuclear missile wing implicated!
Just over half (92) of the 183 nuclear missile launch officers at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana have been implicated in a widening exam cheating scandal, the Air Force said on Thursday, acknowledging it had “systemic” problem within its ranks.
The cheating was discovered during an investigation into illegal drug possession among airmen, when test answers were found in a text message on one missile launch officer’s cell phone. The Air Force initially said 34 officers either knew about the cheating or cheated themselves.
After, an investigation was started and all work personal were investigated. Due to the 2018 DOT drug testing regulations, each and all work personal had to take an obligatory drug test. Thankfully, the company, USA Mobile Drug Testing, offers their services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Therefore, all employees were pulled aside for a total of 15 minutes to get tested.

Police will have ‘backdoor’ access to health records despite opt-out, says MP
The database that will store the entire nation’s health records has a series of "backdoors" that will allow police and government bodies to access people’s medical data.
David Davis MP, a former shadow home secretary, told the Guardian he has established that police will be able to access the health records of patients when investigating serious crimes even if they had opted out of the new database, which will hold the entire population’s medical data in a single repository for the first time from May.
via Police will have 'backdoor' access to health records despite opt-out, says MP.
This despite the UK’s long and torrid history of giving out huge unencrypted centralised databases on USB sticks and laptops to seemingly whoever wants them. Don’t they realise the backdoor will also be usable for hackers, insurance companies, etc? It also shows the mission creep these centralised databases allow themselves to be misused for.

NL Court rules Pirate Bay blockade is illegal
After many court cases, it looks like BREIN (the Dutch RIAA) and Tim Kuyk have finally suffered a humiliating defeat. In a victory for common sense and freedom, they were made to pay EUR 326000,- in legal fees to the providers, who showed that not only was a blockade completely unenforcable, there were plenty of alternatives to TPB. This means there is no reason to limit the freedom providers have to run their businesses.

70,000 was just one of the numbers that I was able to go up to. And I stopped after that.

NSA Phone Spying Is Useless In Preventing Terrorist Attacks, Study Says
In the study, the New America Foundation reviewed 225 terrorism cases and found that traditional investigation and law enforcement methods actually did the most to prevent attacks. About a third of the leads in terrorism cases came from tips or an informant, while old school surveillance warrants were used in 48 cases. All things told, bulk telephony metadata collection provided evidence in only one case, a case that didn’t even present the threat of an attack against the United States.
