		<description><![CDATA[Drone virus alarmed the entire US military announcing as it is another terrorist attack! This virus destroys computer that manipulates unmanned aircraft but and there is absolutely no program could ever debug the software.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Washington DC uproars the glitches of their air force&rsquo;s computer systems last week as reported by different operators of unmanned planes that suffers the suspected menace concluded as a type of virus disabling the command center of Creech Air Force Base in Nevada.</p>
<p>This is known as DRONE virus that they are thinking as a plan or tactics of some militants making everyone going irrational and freaking all of the US air bases.</p>
<p>According to the latest news coming from Nevada, Air Base workforces are still unresponsive about the turbulence they are facing and keep being cold from the prevalent drone virus concern on their Creech intelligence.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The drone system runs normally and still operating the usual way&rdquo; says an Air Base personnel as if nothing transpires.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If it is then, could that be a false apprehension?</p>
<p>&nbsp;Maybe, but very alarming.</p>
<p>US government is very demanding about releasing accurate &ldquo;bangs&rdquo;; it&rsquo;s just that they avoid another act of terrorism in the country especially planes and the like is the entity of destruction. Act ahead before they blow up another tower.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[It is an american of 26 years who lived near Boston. He was attempting to use aircraft to remote control with explosives to attack the Capitol. To catch him, the FBI agents made him believe that they were members of Al Qaeda.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ten years after the September 11, 2001, American  authorities announced the disruption of a new plan to attack the Pentagon and  the Capitol, this time using aircraft to remote control loaded with plastic  explosive C-4. <br />What would seem to be the idea of an extremist crazy had more  sense for the ministry of Justice when it was learned that the accused, Reawan  ferdaus of 26 years, is a graduate in physics at the prestigious Northeastern  University in Boston, Massachusetts. According the ministry explained, ferdaus  started planning the attacks early last year and sought to establish contacts  with Al Qaeda, the group considered responsible for the attacks of a decade ago  on the Pentagon and the Twin Towers in New York. <br />As was the case in similar  arrests, the aspiring terrorist fell when delivered materials to undercover  agents of the federal police, the FBI. In this case, the physical delivered to  agents, posing as militants of Al Qaeda, cell phones modified to be used as  detonators. <br />&#8220;Our highest priority is to protect our country from terrorism and  the threats to our national security,&#8221; explained one of the federal prosecutors  involved in the case, Carmen Ortiz. She stated that the evidence indicates that  ferdaus &#8220;leave planning for a long time committing violent acts against our  country, including attacks on the Pentagon and our Capitol&#8221;, the US Congress.  <br />The agents posing by militants from Al Qaeda had told ferdaus who needed the  detonators to launch attacks against American targets overseas, but then  enthusiasm and offered them commit attacks on the territory of the USA. &#8220;I can&#8217;t  stop&#8221;, would have told them the now stopped. <br />Already in confidence, in January  this year ferdaus they were introduced to the suspected Islamic fundamentalists  his plans to attack the Pentagon using &#8220;small drones&#8221; operated by remote control  and loaded with explosives. <br />In May, the young man he traveled from Boston to  Washington to begin with the tasks of planning, taking pictures of his targets  and the surrounding area, pointed out by the ministry of Justice. <br />When he  returned to Massachusetts, the idea had already been expanded: in addition to  the &#8220;air attack&#8221;, ferdaus wanted to launch an offensive &#8220;land&#8221;, for which i was  going to need a team of six persons &#8220;armed with automatic rifles and divided  into two teams&#8221;, said the prosecutor&#8217;s office. <br />According to the plan, after  the fall of the aircraft with explosives, around the headquarters of the  ministry of defense would be many people &#8220;isolated&#8221; on which shoot to &#8220;create  chaos&#8221;. The ministry of Justice said ferdaus step from words to facts and,  between May and September last, bought several of the elements necessary for the  attacks, including a plane to remote control for the type F-86 Sabre, while it  hoped to receive from the undercover agents, continued to believe were of  al-Qaeda, explosives needed to fill the machine. <br />Ferdaus, an American citizen  resident in Ashland, finally took his meeting expected with suspected  terrorists, who handed him over something that had seemed explosives, grenades  and six AK-47 automatic rifles. The undercover agents they left him carry the  weapons to your deposit and, once there, they arrested him. <br />The Joint Terrorism  Task Force of the FBI began to investigate ferdaus because &#8220;we have an  obligation to take action to protect the public whenever an individual expresses  a desire to commit violence&#8221;, explained Richard DesLauriers, of the federal  police in Boston, one of the implementers of the operation. &#8220;A person convinced,  even if you do not have direct connections with an international terrorist  organization or was trained by some of these groups, you can represent a serious  danger to the community&#8221;, and that is why he made stepping on the palito to  ferdaus barely have believed that it was ready to provide the &#8220;jihad&#8221;, noted  DesLauriers.<br />I hope you liked it!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Approximately 3,000 children lost their mom or dad on the 11-S. How they continue today with their lives?]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the Pentagon or in New York, as in Belfast or Madrid,  in Gaza or Tel Aviv &#8211; anywhere in the world where unexpected explosions of bombs  or aircraft or buses leave their trail of corpses, the eyes of the children  added to the cruelty the disturbing share of disbelief. And, on this tenth  anniversary of the attacks of 11 September 2001, a number of these children  americans, now adolescents or almost adults, shared from magazines and  documentaries his memories of a life without parents. <br />&#8220;When i was in high  school, he did not amaze me with how easily my fellow thought that it had  reached the end of the world simply because they had lost the telephone, or they  had broken the car,&#8221; he told us, for example, Caitlin Langone, whose father, a  police officer and volunteer fireman of Queens, in New York, died in the Twin  Towers where he had been to help save people. Now, with 22 years, Caitlin was  attended in a documentary on NBC that &#8220;advantage&#8221; of being the daughter of a  police wanted in the neighborhood was that she never felt alone after the  attacks. &#8220;When he died pope -story &#8211; was that it had as twenty or thirty  &#8216;brothers&#8217; and &#8216;uncles&#8217; new that came home to tell stories about him&#8221;. <br />The  documentary was followed by the history of eleven of the around 3,000 boys who  lost his father or his mother in the attacks. Caitlin, for example, i was in  school when a teacher alerted them to the students that two aircraft had crashed  into the towers. The mother of Rodney Ratchford, which is now 17 years old,  worked in an office computing of the Pentagon and there he died ten years ago,  while Farquad Chowdhury is considered the first child of a victim who was born  after the attacks: his father was waiter of the Windows on the World restaurant,  one of the wonders of the World Trade Center, and could not escape the collapse.  <br />Some of the guys that appear in the documentary were also part of a special  edition of People magazine, including photographs showing with sad eyes and with  objects that remind them of their loved ones. The magazine, Gabriel Jacobs Dick,  who was born after the attacks, told him, what makes each year to remember his  father, who died while he was at a seminar in one of the Towers. <br />&#8220;Each september  11 long-the sky balloons with messages for pope, in which i tell you how things  are in our lives,&#8221; said Gabriel. In general, the balloons include a piece that  also says &#8220;i miss you&#8221;. <br />Other kids who also had stories to share in these days were  those who were listening to the then-president George W. Bush read a story in a  Florida school just in the time that the aircraft were crashing against their  targets. &#8220;It was too small and naive as to understand the gravity of the  situation,&#8221; said Lazaro Dubrocq, who is now 17 years old. &#8220;But when i started to  mature -continued, having been there helped me to gain a better perspective of  the world, to understand that there are political and wars and genocides that  occur all the time on all sides, helped me realize quickly that the world is not  a perfect place&#8221;. <br />Interviewed by Fox News , Chantal Guerrero, who was also in  the chamber of the primary school Booker, Sarasata, along with Bush, and is now  studying in a military school, even had the courtesy to understand to the  president, who the cameras were surprised by the face troubled after his chef de  cabinet, Andrew Card, you will be informed of heard about the facts. &#8220;Stay with  us criticized it, if i would have gone would also have criticized, but i think  he did the right thing&#8221; by staying in the school of Sarasota while the world was  beginning to change, said Chantal of 17 years.<br />Good luck New York!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Amelia Earhart first earned attention in 1928, when she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.  She made a solo trip across the Atlantic Ocean on May 20, 1932.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/07/07/aaearhartlearns2e1_1.jpg" alt="" width="445" height="580" /></p>
<p>Amelia Mary Earhart&nbsp;was born on July  24, 1897&nbsp;in Atchison,  Kansas. &nbsp;Until  she was 12 she lived with her wealthy maternal grandparents where she attended a private day  school. Thereafter, she spent the rest of her schooling in various and sundry schools, as her grandparents had passed on and her parents were divorced.</p>
<p>While growing up she was always fascinated by aircraft, however with her mother&#8217;s influence, she aspired to a future career in predominantly male-oriented  fields, including film direction and production, law, advertising, management  and mechanical engineering.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/07/07/thumbnailcasyu2ug_1.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="217" /></p>
<p>She began junior college at Pennsylvania but did not complete her program. &nbsp;She decided to join her sister in Toronto, Canada and worked as a&nbsp;military nurse in Canada during World War I and later as a teacher and then a position as a social  worker in Boston. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Amelia&nbsp;Earhart joined the faculty of the world-famous Purdue University (in the state of Indiana)&nbsp;aviation department as a visiting faculty member, teaching young women how to select a proper on career and help inspire others with her love for aviation. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/07/07/r72845458501221_1.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="407" /></p>
<p>Amelia Earhart first earned attention in 1928, when she became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. She made a solo trip across the Atlantic Ocean on May 20, 1932.</p>
<p>She was a well known American aviation pioneer and well respected author and was great friends with Eleanor Roosevelt, who was America&#8217;s first lady. &nbsp;Amelia was the first woman to fly solo across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/07/07/earhartzoom1_2.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="655" /></p>
<p>While she set many other records during her life, she was instrumental in forming &#8220;The Ninety-Nines&#8221; which was a female pilot organization. &nbsp;Amelia was also famously known as a member of the National Woman&#8217;s Party, and a early supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment in the United States. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Guided by her publicist and husband, George Putnam, she made headlines in the  era when aviation gripped the&nbsp;imagination of the public. &nbsp;Aviation was quite a new concept and the industry looked for ways of improving  its image. Amelia was appointed Assistant to the General Traffic Manager at  Transcontinental Air Transport, which later was known as TWA Airlines, with a special  responsibility of attracting women passengers.</p>

<p>Amelia continued to work for the airline and was writing regular articles for  Cosmopolitan and other publications, with speaking engagements in many cities  across the country.</p>
<p>In March, 1937 Amelia took on the most challenging flight of her life and of her career, which was to fly around the world following the equator. &nbsp;Her plane was a Purdue University funded Lockgeed Model 10 Electra. &nbsp;Sadly, nearing the end of her expedition, Amelia and her navigator Fred Noonan,&nbsp;were last heard from a few hours prior to their scheduled landing and reports of Amelia radioed to report that she was about to fly into a storm, and&nbsp;disappeared without a trace on July 2, 1937. &nbsp;It is believed that she was&nbsp;approximately 100 miles from the tiny Pacific Howland Island. &nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/readers/2011/07/07/snts122210map1_1.jpg" alt="" width="540" height="554" /></p>
<p>Despite  extensive searches at the time of the disappearance and in the 70 years since, no clear or concrete evidence has  ever been found of Earhart, Noonan, or their plane. At the time of the disappearance, the United States spent nearly $4 million dollars on search efforts without luck. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Much speculation has transpired and expeditions have come up with bits and pieces of bone fragments, glass fragments but nothing is solid to confirm these are part of the remains of Fred Noonan or Aviatrix Amelia Earhart.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Truly Canadian describes Canada and it's people. How we react in a crisis situation, and how friendly we are. There is one word that all Canadians use on a regular basis, it consists of two letters and is known from one coast to the other.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Truly Canadian</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From one coast of Canada to the other, there is one two-letter word that is used from Newfoundland to Vancouver and used each day. That word is eh. We Canadians seem to be hooked on this small word, and it&rsquo;s been passed on from one generation to the next. No matter where anyone might go, hearing the word eh, is as natural as the Blueberries that are grown right across our vast country.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Another thing that is truly Canadian is our Medicare Program that states, no man, woman, child, or race shall be turned away from our Medicare Program. I&rsquo;ve read many stories in American News Papers decrying our Medicare Program, and it&rsquo;s not without flaws, however it&rsquo;s completely free for every Canadian.</p>
<p>We Canadians are unlike most people in other Countries. What we have is natural, we don&rsquo;t have to work at being friendly, and it comes naturally. True we too have crime like any other country, but if you were to visit and find yourself broken down on the side of the road someone would stop to help you. If you fell down on a city street, there would be a friendly Canadian there to help you. A better example of this happened in one of our Provinces when President Bush decided to ground all flights from other countries within Canada and the United States. One such flight was detoured to a small village in Gander Newfoundland. The people on the airplane didn&rsquo;t know what was happening, nor did they know when they would eat next or would they have to stay on their airplane waiting for hours. The people of Newfoundland changed their lives forever. They came to the plane, handing our water and small snacks and better yet when the airline allowed these passengers to get off the plane, the people of Newfoundland, came to their rescue. Some of these people were taken into private homes; others were set up in shelters and fed. There aren&rsquo;t too many countries around our world that would go so far out of their way to accommodate strangers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We Canadians are unique, we are true to our words, and we are kind people who are always ready to reach out to a stranger in need.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The concept describes the A350 airplane dream of 2050 &#8211; an economic, comfortable and green</p>
<p>For  107 years that have elapsed since the flight of the Wright brothers,  the global civil aviation has achieved remarkable progress. During  that time technology gone way between insecure machines, assembled from  wood, cloth and rope, to the huge airliners carrying hundreds of  passengers from one to the other end of the world. At the same time, if we exclude some technological marvels like the beautiful bird supersonic Concorde airliners look great almost unchanged from 50 years to 20. century. Their basic structure during the last half century is the same &#8211; &#8220;tube with wings&#8221; plus tail &#8220;feathers&#8221;. Throughout this period changes in their appearance are cosmetic and evolutionary. All  important changes &#8211; used in construction materials, engines, interior,  avionics (electronic systems of the aircraft) and management systems,  remain hidden beneath the fuselage (fuselage). This slow change seems particularly impressive when compared with other airliners everyday technology &#8211; automobiles. The fact is that cars 50 years seem like artifacts from the bygone era.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NASA has taken the wraps off three concept designs for quiet, energy efficient aircraft that could potentially be ready to fly as soon as 2025, joining <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/huffpost/cm_huffpost/storytext/810579/39715163/SIG=12imks7m8/*http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/02/future-planes-photos-incr_n_667009.html" target="_blank">these planes of the future</a> (and <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/huffpost/cm_huffpost/storytext/810579/39715163/SIG=12dbp17ok/*http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/17/airbus-concept-plane_n_721318.html" target="_blank">these</a>). The designs come from Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and The <a href="http://www.triond.com/#" target="undefined">Boeing Company</a>. In the final months of 2010, each of these companies won a contract from NASA to research and test their concepts during 2011.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/huffpost/cm_huffpost/storytext/810579/39715163/SIG=122s9nl1l/*http://www.nasa.gov/topics/aeronautics/features/flight_2025.html" target="_blank">NASA</a>: &#8220;[E]ach design has to fly up to 85 percent of the speed of sound; cover a range of approximately 7,000 miles; and carry between 50,000 and 100,000 pounds of payload, either passengers or cargo. For the rest of this year, each team will be exploring, testing, simulating, keeping and discarding innovations and technologies to make their design a winner.&#8221;</p>
<p>Apparently, NASA is aiming to develop a line of super-planes that larger, faster, quieter, and that burn fuel slower and cleaner than their present counterparts.</p>
<p>Check out the three concept planes (below), then have a look at our slideshow of more <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/huffpost/cm_huffpost/storytext/810579/39715163/SIG=12imks7m8/*http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/02/future-planes-photos-incr_n_667009.html#s116898&amp;title=undefined" target="_blank">incredible planes from the future</a>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[An examination of the new TSA rules and the parties they protect.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These days before you get on a plane you have to go through security that is tighter than your jeans from junior high. According to the TSA all these measures are supposed to make the passengers safer when they travel, but are the passengers who are safer or is it the TSA?</p>
<p>The truth is that a terrorist who is supported by a group that has millions of dollars to spend on killing people will be able to get on a plane with explosives if he or she really wants to. The TSA pat downs and body scanners will only make it a bit more inconvenient. The TSA knows this but they also know that their methods are so intrusive that there isn&rsquo;t much more they can do short of giving everyone CAT scans and colonoscopies each time they want to board a plane. That is how the TSA is protecting itself. In the event of an incident on a plane TSA can simply release a statement saying that they have done all they could to monitor what is brought onto the plane.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[How the war was fought with 3D maps.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There were a lot of breaktrhoughs during World War II, and many of them didn&#8217;t get all of the attention they deserved afterward. An example was the creation of three-dimensional maps and physical models of islands held by the enemy. These were employed by the Allies to guide the navy gunners and pilots to locate their assigned objectives, and Marines and infantrymen to &#8220;see&#8221; from up close what the territory would be like when they were to land at the beaches. Maps and models like these were very popular with airmen, who became accustomed to &#8220;flying&#8221; their hands over them so that they could get a &#8220;feel&#8221; for the contours and valleys over which they would soon be flying for real. By 1945, these anaglyph maps and models had become a staple feature of island assaults. Even destroyers were furnished with them. This made sense, as destroyers often delivered critical fire support. Destroyers, since they were of lesser tonnage, could get in closer and provide instant support with their five-inch (127mm) guns.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[An incredible article published at MSNBC details the complaints of TSA workers that they are being verbally abused by passengers.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do you call a person who lurks in an airport putting their hands on other people, squeezing their genitals and breasts, removing their clothes, threatening and coercing them?&nbsp;  &#8220;Pervert&#8221; sounds like a pretty accurate description.  A pervert is a person who is degenerate and corrupt, whose actions degrade, humiliate and debauch other people.</p>
<p>According to a TSA-sympathetic propaganda piece from MSNBC entitled, &#8220;<a href="http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/40318901/ns/travel-news/:" target="_blank">TSA Workers Face Verbal Abuse from Traveler</a>s,&#8221; some airport sex workers complain that they are being verbally abused by the public.  These are people who are groping the genitals of little children.  They scream at and threaten passengers. They intimidate, bully and coerce others into sexual contact or sexual acts (such as posing for pornographic pictures) against their will.</p>
<p>Some TSA workers say that they&#8217;re not sexual perverts.  They claim they&#8217;re &#8220;just doing their jobs.&#8221;  This is the same thing the Nazis said when they were stripping people naked and shooting them in the back of the head in Germany in the 1930s.  They, too, didn&#8217;t believe they were doing anything wrong.  They believed they were serving their country.</p>
<p>What kind of people agree to do a job where they sexually assault other people?  The answer is clear.  No normal person would do something like that.   People who sexually assault, threaten and brutalize other people are perverts &#8211; this fact doesn&#8217;t change if they are wearing a uniform and a badge.</p>
<p>The purchase of an airline ticket is not consent to sexual contact or any other coerced or forced bodily contact with anyone.  It is not consent to any medical procedures or experiments &#8211; like the Rapiscan porno scanners that emit untested amounts of backscattter radiation.</p>
<p>Uniformed airport perverts are nothing new.  They&#8217;ve been around for a long time before the creation of the TSA, they just had different excuses (although I&#8217;m not sure what they were) for detaining, falsely imprisoning, sexually assaulting, screaming at you and sniffing your lingerie back then.  I quit flying in the late &#8217;90s because of uniformed airport perverts and their gang-rape mentality.</p>
<p>I complained then.  I told everyone I knew what had happened to me, but they just shrugged it off or didn&#8217;t believe me because it wasn&#8217;t happening to them.  I contacted the airlines and called a lawyer, but no one listened or cared because sexual assault is a social norm in the U.S. where airport rapists are sanctioned by the Federal government and, therefore, untouchable.</p>
<p>I used to travel for business and pleasure, but, my only recourse was to stop flying.  I knew other young women &#8211; all very good-looking &#8211; who had come to the same conclusion.  But, now, with the TSA sexually assaulting greater numbers of innocent passengers &#8211; including men, their crimes are coming into the light, where they can, at least, be exposed for what they are.</p>
<p>Even if you think it&#8217;s all right to sexually assault women (and, apparently, lots of people do think this is just fine), most people draw the line at sexually assaulting children.  But, the TSA does this every day.</p>
<p>Even after they promised to stop molesting children under 12-years of age, they were caught <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJXv2JDRK2g&amp;feature=related" target="_blank">on video</a>, molesting another child.  At the end of the video, the child is partially nude as the male agent runs his fingers through the child&#8217;s hair in a very creepy way.  In most places, this is battery on a child and, if they grabbed the child&#8217;s testicles, which is what they usually do, then it is sexual battery.</p>
<p>In an another <a href="http://wildhunt.org/blog/2010/11/pnc-minnesota-rape-survivor-devastated-by-tsa-enhanced-pat-down.html" target="_blank">article</a>, a rape survivor from Minnesota described her experience at the hands of a male TSA agent who groped her genitals, fondled her breasts, then began stroking her face and hair in a very disturbing, rapist-like way.</p>
<p>Men and the disabled are routinely sexually assaulted, too.  But, their favorite target is attractive women and children &#8211; not because they are a security threat, obviously, but because they provide perverse amusement for airport workers.  The airport is a reflection of American culture, in general, where women and children are regularly targeted for sexual violence.</p>
<p>Currently and for the past 20 years, our airports have been dens of sexual perversion.  There, if you attract the fancy of one of the uniformed perverts, you can be detained, brutalized, sexually assaulted, raped and imprisoned.  You are denied your Constitutional rights, which are human rights and many people die in their custody.</p>
<p>Sexual assault of passengers in war time is usually reserved for the women and children of the enemy!&nbsp; Maybe the Feds are trying to tell us something.</p>
<p>What can you do about it?</p>
<p>Do not take children to the airport.  If you are the parent of a child, it would be irresponsible parenting to take your child to the airport where they will be exposed to these people.  The TSA is not supposed to take children from their parents, but according to innumerable accounts, they regularly do this.  You also risk having yourself sexually assaulted and imprisoned, in which case, they will take your child away from you and he or she will likely be sexually assaulted by uniformed goons.</p>
<p>If you are a violent crime survivor, you should avoid the airport at all costs.  Women have died in their custody after they induced panic attacks induced by sexual assault.  People react different ways to sexual assault, but almost everyone goes into shock, which can last for hours or days.  This is why it is difficult to remember faces, badge numbers or even recall events accurately.</p>
<p>In this state of fear and shock they will do whatever they have to to survive the situation.  Some people have tried to make light of airport sexual assaults by saying they are not the same as &#8220;real&#8221; rape.  I would like to point out that gang-rape situations and the prospect of rape by uniformed officials in a small, window-less room is much more frightening than a street attack where you might actually have the chance of fighting back or escaping.</p>
<p>As is natural, when confronted with a lot of large, armed men bellowing at you, doing sexually inappropriate things, some sexual assault survivors who go into shock may begin screaming, fighting and try to escape their tormentors.  This is what seems to have happened to <a href="http://gunnygcops.wetpaint.com/page/More+On+Carol+Gotbaum%27s+Death+In+Police+Custody" target="_blank">Carol Gotbaum</a> in the Phoenix Airport.  I do not know if Ms. Gotbaum was a sexual assault survivor, but the reaction described by numerous reports indicate that she went into shock and began screaming.  She was then put in handcuffs where she is said to have strangled herself to death in a way that is physically impossible.</p>
<p>Going anywhere near an airport right now is not a safe activity.  If you are a sexual assault survivor,  have children with you or are in any other way vulnerable to law enforcement tyranny, you should not even go to the airport to pick up other passengers.  I, personally, know of one person who went to the airport to pick up a friend who was flying in to Bush International Airport in Houston, Texas.  He was not in a security area when he was approached by a uniformed man who asked to see his identity documents.  When he was unable to produce a driver&#8217;s license (he was not driving), he was abducted and imprisoned against his will for over 24 hours until they &#8211; whoever they were &#8211;  could confirm that he was a U.S. citizen.</p>
<p>If you, personally, know one of these airport tyrants, don&#8217;t invite them into your home.  Refuse to be friends with them.  Don&#8217;t socialize with them.  Shun them.  If they cannot be legally imprisoned for their crimes, they can, at least, be socially marginalized.</p>
<p>If you have been sexually assaulted or in other ways abused by airport sex workers, you might try to file a report with local county law enforcement or the District Attorney where it occurred and press charges.  Some people are doing this now.  I have not heard of any success with this yet, but it is a possibility.  Of course, in the U.S., most sex-related crimes are never pursued.  But, at least, one D.A. in California has indicated that he would be willing to prosecute airport sex crime perpetrators.</p>
<p>You can also send a report to the ACLU, which has filed numerous law suits against TSA in recent years over these same issues.  If you have been assaulted, you can file a report with them at their web site, <a href="http://www.aclu.org/" target="_blank">www.aclu.org</a>.
