TSA Precheck Goes Touchless: ID-Free Travel at Select Airports

/5 Comments/in , /by

TSA PreCheck members can now experience a touchless travel process at certain airports, eliminating the need to present ID or boarding passes. United Airlines has initiated this innovative service at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and partially at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

United Airlines recently introduced TSA PreCheck Touchless ID at O’Hare International Airport, allowing travelers to drop off their bags and navigate through security without the need to present identification. The touchless ID service is also available at the TSA PreCheck security checkpoint.

To utilize the touchless ID service, TSA PreCheck customers need to register their Known Traveler Number (KTN) through United when booking or checking in for their flight. By opting in for facial scan identification, travelers can take advantage of the touchless experience. At the airport, passengers can follow signs to the PreCheck Touchless ID kiosk, located next to the regular PreCheck lane, where they can scan their faces and proceed to the security checkpoint.

United Airlines is pioneering this technology in Chicago and Los Angeles, with plans to expand the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID to additional hubs throughout the year.

This development joins other recent security updates in the aviation industry, such as the PreCheck service in Las Vegas, the Delta Digital ID in multiple locations, the American Airlines Mobile ID in Washington D.C., and Global Entry processes. These advancements leverage facial recognition technology to enhance security and facilitate a smoother journey for both passengers and Transportation Security Officers (TSOs).

US Airman Claimed to Have Classified Knowledge of US Forces Fighting in Gaza Tunnels on Night Before Setting Himself on Fire: Pal

/5 Comments/in , /by

Aaron Bushnell claimed he had secret knowledge of US troops fighting in Hamas tunnels under Gaza — just hours before setting himself on fire in an “extreme act of protest” against Israel, a close pal told The Post on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old airman — who served in the Air Force’s 70th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Wing, but also interacted with radical anarchist groups online — ranted he had “top-secret clearance’’ for military intelligence data in the call to his friend Saturday night, he said.

“He told me on Saturday that we have troops in those tunnels, that it’s US soldiers participating in the killings,’’ the pal, whose ties to Bushnell have been verified by The Post, claimed.

“His actual job involves the processing of intelligence data. Some of what he was processing had to do with the Israeli Gaza conflict.”

“One of the things he told me is that coming across his desk … was the US military was involved in the genocides going on in Palestine,’’ the friend said, referring to Israel’s war against the Palestinian terror group Hamas in Gaza.

Trump Beats Haley in Another State Primary

/7 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump won Michigan’s Republican Party presidential primary on Tuesday night, beating former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley by more than 30 points.

The Associated Press called the race shortly after polls closed in the state. With 12% of the vote being counted, Trump leads Haley 66.0% to 29.4%.

The New York Times live forecast said Trump’s expected margin of victory was roughly 47 points.

“We have a very simple task — we have to win on Nov. 5,” Trump, speaking of this November’s general election, told a Michigan GOP watch party in Grand Rapids. “We win Michigan, we win the whole thing.”

“Nov. 5, we’re going to get [Biden] out,” Trump added. “We’re going to change our country. We’re going to bring our country back.” (Read more from “Trump Beats Haley in Another State Primary” HERE)

President Biden Secures Michigan Democratic Primary Amidst ‘Uncommitted’ Movement Pushed by Anti-Israel Protests

/4 Comments/in , /by

President Biden easily won Michigan’s Democratic primary Tuesday night, but his support was impacted by an anti-Israel protest movement calling for voters to fill in “uncommitted.”

With almost three-fifths of the expected vote in, Biden had 81.2% support, while rivals Marianne Williamson and Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) garnered 3.0% and 2.8%, respectively.

“Uncommitted” received 13.0% of the vote, far below the benchmark set in the 2008 Michigan Democratic primary, when close to 40% of the electorate opted not to back any candidate.

A fuller picture of the “uncommitted” vote would not be clear until final results came in from Wayne County — home to the largest Arab-American community in the country, based in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn.

The movement to steer clear of supporting Biden, 81, was driven by anti-Israel group “Listen to Michigan,” which aimed to show Biden he can not win a second term unless he demands the Jewish state enter a cease-fire in its war against Hamas following the Oct. 7 terror attack that killed an estimated 1,200.

/2 Comments/in , /by

An illegal alien from Central America was arrested this week in connection with the murder of 2-year-old Jeremy Poou Caceres in Maryland.

The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit arrested 25-year-old Nilson Noel Trejo-Granados in connection with the murder earlier this month at Langley Park.

The toddler and his mother were shot as two groups of males opened fire on each other. The toddler died a short time later while the mother is expected to make a full recovery.

Four other individuals have been arrested in connection with the murder, including two minors — ages 15 and 16 — who were not named due to their age, 33-year-old Israel Fuentes, Jr., and 28-year-old Johnny Alejandro Turcios.

Trejo-Granados is charged with murder-first degree, murder-second degree, two counts of assault first degree, assault second degree, attempted first degree murder, and attempted second degree murder. (Read more from “Illegal Alien Arrested for Allegedly Murdering Toddler” HERE)

Judge Overseeing Trump Case Drops Decision That Could Spell Bad News for Fani Willis

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Fulton County judge ruled Monday that the former law partner of Nathan Wade must testify about Wade’s relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ordered Terrence Bradley to testify about the relationship between Wade and Willis, according to the Journal-Constitution. Bradley, who also served as Wade’s divorce lawyer, met with McAfee in a closed-door hearing, after which McAfee determined that some of Wade’s communication with Bradley were not protected by attorney-client privilege despite Bradley’s assertions during a previous appearance in court, ABC News reported.

Attorneys for Michael Roman, a former Trump campaign aide, filed a motion for Willis’ disqualification on Jan. 8 alleging that Willis, who hired Wade as a special prosecutor to help probe and prosecute the former president, was in a romantic relationship with Wade.

Latest Development About the Illegal Alien in the Georgia Student Murder Story Is Infuriating; Actor’s Twisted Response to Alleged Murder of Young Nurse Does in Dems

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Laken Riley went for a run on Thursday and never returned. She was reported missing by her friend, which led to authorities discovering her body later that afternoon. Riley was an undergraduate at the University of Georgia in Athens and after enrolled as a nursing student at nearby Augusta University. She had made the fall semester dean’s list. On Friday, February 23, Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, was arrested for her murder. Ibarra is an illegal alien from Venezuela who crossed over in 2022. He was arrested in New York City for what appears to be vehicular charges on September 14, 2023—he got charged with “injury to [a] child less than 17 and no license.”

The media framed Ibarra as an “Athens man” and have been allergic to reporting that this man is an illegal immigrant. Yet, Georgia State House Rep. Houston Gaines alleges that Ibarra was arrested for shoplifting in Athens in October of 2023 and had an active bench warrant for his arrest since last December for failing to appear in court:

Star Trek’s George Takei’s Twisted Response to Illegal Alien’s Alleged Murder of Young Nurse Does in Dems

By Red State. The story about a young University of Georgia nursing student, 22-year-old Laken Riley, who was allegedly killed by an illegal alien, 26-year-old Jose Antonio Ibarra, is incredibly sad — made sadder in that it was completely preventable. Ibarra reportedly was let go into the country by Joe Biden’s policies, so Riley’s death appears to be fully on the back of Biden’s failure to enforce the law.

You would think any American would find this troubling and would want to rectify the problem. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) spoke for many, offering comfort to her friends and family, then calling on Biden to enforce the law. . .

Before last month, if you talked about securing the border and enforcing the law, Democrats would accuse you of somehow being racist.

It looks like George Takei didn’t get the talking points memo from last month. The guy who played Star Trek’s “Lt. Sulu” has posted some bad things in the past, but this was definitely a winner on the “truly awful argument” meter in response to Johnson. . .

[P]erhaps the most bizarre problem with this is Takei didn’t realize how he did in Democrats with this take. Did Takei miss who it was who was “smearing his community during World War II” and interning them? Yes, it was Democrat FDR who wrongly put Japanese-Americans in internment camps. It wasn’t Republicans — the party formed to fight slavery and free individuals. Takei should be taking it up with his buddies, the Democrats. And frankly, seemingly trying to compare illegal aliens who murder people to Japanese-Americans who did nothing wrong is just gross.

Man Arrested in Ukrainian Assassination Plot to Blow Up Tucker Carlson in Moscow (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a startling revelation, an alleged plot to assassinate prominent American journalist Tucker Carlson has been thwarted, with a man named Vasily Petrov Alekseevich from Podolsk, Russia, at the center of the unfolding drama. Alekseevich was arrested in Moscow on accusations of conspiring with Ukrainian intelligence to carry out the assassination.

Alekseevich claims he was recruited by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and offered $4,000 to assassinate Tucker Carlson while the journalist was in Moscow for an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The accused individual detailed in a video that he received training from Ukrainian intelligence in espionage, communications, assembly of explosive devices, and retrieval of explosives from dead drops.

The alleged plot involved placing an explosive device on a vehicle in the underground parking lot of the Four Seasons Hotel in Moscow, where Tucker Carlson was expected to stay. Alekseevich asserted that the scheme was thwarted when he was apprehended during the preparation stage.

The news has ignited a flurry of discussions on social media platforms, with reports crediting the “Russian Counter-Terrorism Unit” for halting the alleged assassination plot. It is reported that the arrested man, Vasiliev Pyotr Alexievich, was set to be paid a mere $4,000 for carrying out the assassination, raising questions about the motivations and backers behind such a plan.

The unfolding details of this alleged plot raise broader concerns about the safety of journalists and the potential involvement of international intelligence agencies in actions against media figures.

Haley Refuses To End Campaign Following Trump Victory In South Carolina

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley refused to quit the presidential race Saturday following an overwhelming defeat in her own state.

The Associated Press called the contest for the Republican frontrunner Donald Trump shortly after polls closed “further consolidating his path to a third straight GOP nomination.” The former president has now carried every race for delegates as he heads for a rematch with the Democrat incumbent.

Haley spoke to supporters in Charleston as Trump was declared the winner 60 percent to 40 percent at the time of her speech.

“I know 40 percent is not 50 percent, but I also know 40 percent is not some tiny group,” Haley said, pledging to stay in the race following the humiliating 20-point upset in the state she served two terms as governor.

“I said earlier this week that no matter what happens in South Carolina, I would continue to run for president,” Haley added. “I’m a woman of my word.” (Read more from “Haley Refuses To End Campaign Following Trump Victory In South Carolina” HERE)
