No sooner have airports introduced new scanning machines so you don’t need to unpack your carry-on bags, than a trend emerges where you photograph all your loose items in your airport security tray.
The “airport tray aesthetic” has taken off on TikTok, Instagram and Pinterest as people share artfully arranged shots of their sunglasses, shoes, toiletries and reading material inside the regulation polypropylene dishes.
Don’t expect crumpled plastic bags stuffed with toothpaste and Pepto-Bismol. This is aspirational travel, where your 35mm film camera nestles between your vintage loafers and your first-edition copy of “On the Road.”

In this video by "Redacted", Clayton Morris interviews Ashton Forbes about the disappearance of MH370. Forbes describes in detail his decade-long research into that mysterious and tragic incident. Topic includes USA counter espionage, top-secret anti-gravity technology operated by Lockheed Martin. In my humble opinion, Ashton Forbes looks and sounds genuine as he describes this incredible set of events and dark military operations with covert advanced technology.
"What really happened to Malaysian Airlines fight MH370? 10 years ago... Malaysia #Airlines #Flight 370 disappeared from radar on 8 March 2014, while flying from Kuala Lumpur International Airport in #Malaysia to its intended destination in Beijing. But It never arrived and neither did the 227 passengers and 12 crew members whose family members have been in anguish ever since. What happened to their loved ones?
Who's covering up the real story?
10 years have now passed and we finally might have some leads as to what caused this disappearance. #AshtonForbes has in many ways devoted his life to figuring out what happened here and we decided to invite Ashton on to talk about some of this new evidence."

The Chinese military is once again pushing the boundaries of technological innovation by incorporating bird-shaped reconnaissance drones. Recent images circulated on the Internet show these drones in use by one of the units of the Marine Corps of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).
These drones, indistinguishable from living birds at a distance, flap their wings and fly in a natural manner. Technical details and specific characteristics of these drones remain confidential, but their deployment within the PLA forces has been confirmed.
China is not new to the field of ornithopters. As early as 2018, a government program named “Pigeon” was launched, aimed at developing mimetic drones for urban operations. These drones, with their characteristics still undisclosed, were designed to blend into the urban environment without arousing suspicion.
In 2022, Chinese engineers unveiled an impressive mechanical flying bird weighing 1,600 grams and featuring a wingspan of two meters. Powered by a lithium battery, this drone could remain airborne for an hour and a half, demonstrating China’s advancements in the field of biomimetic drones.
Although many countries are also working on bird-like drones, most are limited to fixed-wing models propelled by propellers. For instance, the Dutch surveillance drone Evolution Eagle, disguised as a large eagle, can only deceive the human eye from a great distance. In contrast, the Chinese flapping-wing drones offer a much more effective and realistic camouflage.
This technological advancement reflects the Chinese military’s desire to remain at the forefront of military innovation by developing equipment capable of perfectly blending into their environment for discreet and effective reconnaissance missions.
The adoption of these ornithopter drones by the PLA could mark a turning point in surveillance and military intelligence strategies, offering a significant tactical advantage due to their ability to operate without raising suspicion. It remains to be seen how this technology will be exploited in the coming years and what impact it will have on military doctrines worldwide.
🇨🇳The Chinese military is using a small unmanned #drone disguised as a #bird.
The drone is able to #imitate the #flight of a bird, even the movement of its #wings for maximum authenticity.

Didn't know who he was, didn't know why I was drawn to actually watch this one, ~ Very glad I did.
Delta said that crew on the flight, which had 183 people on board, declared an emergency and returned to John F. Kennedy International #Airport, that it "supporting retrieval efforts."

The company failed 33 of 89 audits during an examination conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration after a panel blew off an Alaska Airlines jet in January.
The F.A.A. also conducted 13 product audits for the part of the inquiry that focused on #SpiritAeroSystems, which makes the fuselage, or body, of the 737 Max. Six of those audits resulted in passing grades, and seven resulted in failing ones, the presentation said.

As a result, this #check job that should find minimal defects has in the past 365 calendar days recorded 392 nonconforming findings on 737 mid fuselage door installations...

In Boeing production speak, this is a “process failure”. For an A&P mechanic at an #airline, this would be called “federal #crime”.

“Our systems, both primary and the backups, responded by suspending automatic processing to ensure that no incorrect safety-related information could be presented to an air traffic controller or impact the rest of the air traffic #system. There are no indications that this was a cyber-attack.”
So just crappy #software that was cheaply cobbled together without #security.
