Islamist Pilots Pose 'Insider Threat', Warn Security Experts
Islamist Pilots Pose 'Insider Threat', Warn Security Experts
Authored by Paul Sperry via RealClearInvestigations ,
When the Federal Aviation Administration reinforced cockpit doors after the 9/11 hijackings, it turned flight decks into fortresses to lock out terrorists. But what if a terrorist is already inside?
That question has new urgency following the harrowing Sept. 30 attack aboard a FlyDubai flight in which a Muslim extremist (Islamist) pilot was forcefully stopped by a heroic pilot and brave passengers from crashing a plane bound for Israel .
Former aviation security officials say the FAA needs to reassess threats inside cockpits and the measures intended to counter them. They say this review is especially urgent because the agency has made insider threats to the cockpit more likely by recently forcing airlines to add a secondary barrier to the cockpit in the form of a metal gate on new planes.
Experts say the added security, while well-intentioned, could backfire following al-Qaeda 's call last month for Islamist pilots to carry out more suicide attacks inside cockpits and for followers to infiltrate the ranks of pilots. Al-Qaeda has reestablished terror training camps in Afghanistan, along with recruiting and propaganda organs, echoing its pre-9/11 potency.
Enhanced security measures designed to lock out threats could merely lock in an attacker. At the same time, the FAA is adding more people to the flight deck under a new training program that lets air traffic controllers sit as passengers in cockpit jump seats to observe operations up close, potentially opening up more security issues with relative "strangers" in the cockpit. All major U.S. carriers have agreed to participate in the program, which will vet controllers at the airport prior to takeoff but won't screen them in advance for extremist views.
Aviation security experts also say airlines must do more to identify pilots who may hold extremist views or show signs of mental illness. At least two U.S.-based Islamist pilots have been suspended in the wake of the FlyDubai incident.
"Pilots who have openly espoused and supported terrorists should be grounded as unstable," said former airline executive Michael Boyd, president of Boyd Group International, an aviation consulting firm, in an interview with RealClearInvestigations. "Anybody who supports clear terrorism should be grounded; but of course, that gets muddy in the realm of free speech."
Weak vetting systems Suicide by aircraft has long been a rare but concerning issue. Most documented cases have involved private planes, not commercial carriers. Mentally ill people - including the German copilot who killed himself and 149 others on board when he locked the captain, who had gone to the bathroom, out of the cockpit and crashed a flight into the Alps in 2015 - have long accounted for most cases. But experts say a disproportionate number of such tragedies involving major airliners have involved Muslim pilots, most of whom have expressed extremist views .
During the FlyDubai attack, passengers were able to enter the cockpit and stop Omani copilot Hamam al-Hammami, an al-Qaeda supporter , who had attacked the flight's captain with an ax, from taking over the controls, thus saving the lives of the 174 mostly Israeli passengers on board. Gaining access to the cockpit - which the captain managed to unlock before collapsing - was the only reason the terrorist didn't succeed in crashing the jet into the Tel Aviv airport as intended after he disabled the captain.
While non-Muslims historically have been responsible for some cases of suicide pilots intentionally downing major airliners, three of the four cases directly linked to terror have involved Islamist pilots (9/11 is not included because it was a hijacking). Experts caution that the number is almost certainly higher because comprehensive data on the phenomenon is thin. Although most of the pilot-orchestrated terror attacks have taken place overseas, there is growing concern that American pilots aligned with terrorist groups like Hamas could crash airliners into U.S. cities.
Yet the FAA and Homeland Security currently have no system for vetting such sympathizers as insider threats, and are leaving it up to airlines to police pilots. Even Israel's Transport Ministry relied on Arab countries and their airlines to vet al-Hammami, whose long record of extremist views was overlooked.
Since the FlyDubai attack, United Airlines has grounded a Newark, N.J.-based pilot, Ibrahim Mossallam, after his social media posts praising the Oct. 7 Hamas attack were flagged . Israel recently barred another United Airlines pilot, Sina Amjadian, after he reportedly expressed support for Hezbollah and pledged loyalty to Iran's Revolutionary Guard in his own social media posts. Amjadian, who is of Iranian descent, is based out of LAX and previously flew for FlyDubai.
Mossallam was a former official for the controversial Council on American-Islamic Relations, acting as CAIR-NY's board chairman. He also served as a board member with American Muslims for Palestine, which is under federal investigation in connection with Hamas . CAIR did not respond to requests for comment.
Retired FAA special agent Brian Sullivan, who warned that Boston's Logan International Airport was vulnerable to a terror attack months before 9/11, told RCI that relatively lax screening of pilots is a "major hole" in U.S. aviation security .
"Vetting obviously needs to be given a hard look if we are going to keep bad guys out of the cockpit," Sullivan said.
The FAA and Homeland Security did not respond to RCI requests for comment. After the FlyDubai incident, the agencies issued official statements saying pilots must pass mental health evaluations, criminal background checks and security threat assessments, including cross-checking terrorist watchlists. Same for air traffic controllers, who will soon be joining pilots in the cockpit as jump-seat passengers as part of the FAA's new flight deck training program.
However, the agencies do not monitor pilots' or controllers' social media for extremist posts or photos to help predict if a cleared pilot will go "rogue" and weaponize commercial aircraft to carry out a religiously or ideologically motivated attack.
Jihadi pilots While the majority of Muslim pilots are not extremists, Sullivan said dismissing the threat over concerns about "Islamophobia" or ethnic profiling ignores the reality of al-Qaeda's fatwa and the troubling history of jihadi pilots . He noted the FlyDubai incident is just one of several in which radical Muslim pilots have crashed or attempted to crash the planes they were flying.
In 1999, first officer Gameel al-Batouti seized control of EgyptAir Flight 990 while the captain was in the lavatory and crashed the plane into the waters off Nantucket while shouting, "Tawkalt ala Allah" (I rely on Allah) 11 times. More than 120 American and Canadian passengers perished.
In 2014, Malaysia Airlines Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah, a devout Muslim, was suspected of crashing his Boeing 777 into the Indian Ocean after plotting a course to the crash site on a flight simulator investigators found at his home. The alleged "rogue pilot" had also cut off radio contact and radar transponder transmissions before the jet and the 239 people aboard, most of them Chinese, perished. His motivation remains unclear.
In the Sept. 30 FlyDubai terrorist attack, al-Hammami ambushed and attacked the flight captain with an emergency axe after excusing himself to pray Islamic prayers. Two other Muslim pilots have reportedly been detained in connection with the plot.
"The latest incident raises serious questions about the risk entailed by both Muslim pilots and Muslim airlines operating in the United States," said Daniel Greenfield, a counterterrorism expert and fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
He said the number of suicidal Islamic pilots is likely larger than reported.
"It's unknown how many of the deliberate Muslim airline crashes were due to pilot terrorism because the Muslim countries involved tended to avoid any discussion of the motives involved," Greenfield said. "Some of the crashes by Muslim pilots have been attributed to personal issues, ranging from workplace frustration to a failed love affair; while others, notably EgyptAir Flight 990, were falsely attributed to mechanical failure."
That said, Muslims aren't the only pilots who have flown suicide missions . In addition to the Germanwings pilot , for example, a Japan Airlines pilot in 1982 pushed the engine controls in reverse during approach to Tokyo and crashed into Tokyo Bay, killing 24 passengers after suffering a mental breakdown. Some observers have called for broader psychological testing of all pilots rather than narrowly focusing on extremist Muslims.
Cockpit insecurity Others worry that the recent exodus of veteran pilots from the industry following COVID-related buyouts is contributing to cockpit insecurity. De facto diversity quotas have led to the recruitment of pilots who are potentially less qualified and experienced, but also less known , critics say.
"How well do we really know the people that have our lives in their hands?" said Capt. Chris Pohl, a senior Virgin Atlantic training captain. "We should ensure experienced operational captains remain at the heart of pilot selection."
He argues that mass pilot retirements over the past decade due to a federally mandated retirement age of 65 have eroded peer-to-peer vetting that historically kept unstable pilots out of the cockpit.
"When I entered commercial flying, getting anywhere near a major airline's cockpit generally required substantial experience. Several thousand hours were often expected and those hours created a track record," Pohl said. "Most importantly, you developed a reputation. If somebody demonstrated poor judgment, a dangerous attitude or behavior that concerned other pilots, people often knew. Your reputation told them who you were.
"Today, a pilot can go directly from flying school to the right seat of an airliner with hundreds of hours, not thousands, with no employment history, just a license and exam results," he added.
Finding red flags Some aviation security experts suggest federal regulators enhance the vetting process by using artificial intelligence to monitor the postings of pilots on social media for extremist content. AI-driven social media vetting could flag terrorist sentiments that could indicate plans for a suicide mission.
FAA regulators are also having to grapple with the issue of the mandatory emergency axe stowed inside the cockpit after the FlyDubai terrorist used it as a weapon to attack and disable the captain. Some experts say its use should be reevaluated. They propose replacing it with less lethal tools, such as heavy-duty pry bars or cold-cutting saws that don't produce sparks or flames.
"What they'll come up with relative to the crash axe will be interesting since it will pit safety questions versus security questions," Sullivan said.
The purpose of the axe is to allow pilots to hack their way out of the cockpit windows after a crash.
"The cockpit axe is a necessary safety item," Boyd said. "And like the cockpit controls, a crackpot pilot could make nasty use of it.
"That comes with the territory where we cannot defend against them," he added. "There's no way we can assure cockpits are completely loon-proof."
Still, the harrowing FlyDubai episode appears to have heightened the awareness of potential security risks from pilots.
"Hopefully, this will serve as a wake-up call to those who fail to address known vulnerabilities," Sullivan said. "We all know that aviation is still a viable terror target, and with Iran and other ongoing threats, this is certainly not the time to become lax."

China's 'Silent' War Drill: Taiwan Blockade Fears Put Conflict-Free Supply Chains In Focus
Five days after we reported, "China Rehearses Taiwan Blockade In Unannounced Naval War Drill,"
Reuters cited a Taiwanese security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, who confirmed what we reported last Sunday about China's military and coast guard amassing ships in the region. According to the official, the exercise included simulated attacks on other militaries and cities, including Taiwan's.
The official said the early November drills were much larger than "Justice Mission 2025," China's last formally named drills targeting Taiwan nearly one year ago. This suggests China could be rehearsing for shipping restrictions or even a blockade of the island or critical maritime shipping lanes in the region next year, potentially sparking supply chain concerns.
As we noted at the time, the drills came just ahead of the US midterms and next week's APEC summit in Shenzhen, where President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet.
Reuters offered more color on the drills:
During the latest drills, a Chinese submarine also launched an intercontinental ballistic missile ?from the Yellow Sea into the Chinese mainland, the official said. "It is a silent exercise — and in effect, silent intimidation," they said.
"This is like a robber hiding a gun in the pocket of a coat — with the muzzle pointed at the bank teller. It scares the teller into handing over the money, while avoiding setting off the alarm and bringing in a ?large police response."
Taiwanese Defense Minister Wellington Koo described the military drills as "area denial" exercises involving an aircraft carrier and other naval formations.
On Thursday, Xi called for peaceful "reunification" in a policy speech without mentioning the use of force. Beijing, which claims Taiwan as its territory, has not renounced military action to bring the island under its control.
Beijing could pursue this move without military force by first using coast guard inspections, shipping restrictions, and selective interdictions, presenting them as domestic law enforcement around the island. CSIS identifies this as a possible move intended to remain below the threshold of armed conflict.
Our late-August report on a record Chinese ship swarm around Taiwan only reinforced our view that accelerating US-China decoupling would push investors toward conflict-free critical material supply chains that could benefit if shipping lanes around Taiwan became snarled, whether because of shipping restrictions or, worse, a blockade.

Via The Cradle
US efforts to pressure Iran’s neighboring states to close their land borders have failed, stalling Washington’s campaign to cripple the Iranian economy , the New York Times (NYT) reported this week.
According to three Iraqi officials and a US official cited by the US daily, Washington has spent weeks urging Turkey, Iraq, and Pakistan to close their border crossings with Iran.
via AFP
The US military has since launched Task Force Iron Gate , a Central Command (CENTCOM) unit tasked with blocking weapons, sanctioned goods, and illicit revenue from crossing Iran’s land borders and the Caspian Sea, thereby escalating Washington’s economic war on Tehran.
Several of Iran’s neighbors have warned that cutting off trade routes vital to businesses and communities on both sides of the frontier could provoke “civil insurrection,” according to the US official.
He added that the pressure has stirred growing anger toward Washington among its allies and partners in the region.
Turkey has largely maintained its border policies, while Baghdad has rejected US calls to keep only two Iranian crossings open. It briefly sealed one or two as a concession, angering Iraqis .
Pakistan has reportedly closed and reopened several crossings in recent weeks, citing security and administrative concerns.
Ellie Geranmayeh, an Iran expert at the European Council on Foreign Relations, said Iran retains considerable economic leverage over its neighbors.
Beyond the $3 billion in annual trade with Iran, Islamabad relies heavily on Iranian fuel shipments, especially liquefied petroleum gas, while Baghdad draws more than a third of the gas that powers its electricity network from the Islamic Republic .
Tehran has been taking its own measures, urging neighboring countries not to yield to US demands.
Iran’s deputy foreign minister met the Russian ambassador to discuss "how to counter unilateral U.S. actions, and the so-called Iron Gate plan."
On November 5, Putin hosted Iran’s Supreme National Security Council secretary, Mohsen Rezaei, at the Kremlin. They agreed to build pipelines carrying Russian gas to Iran, enabling Tehran to meet domestic demand and resell gas to neighboring states.
Rezaei said Iran would not reopen the Strait of Hormuz or negotiate until Washington meets seven conditions, including ending hostilities across the region, lifting the naval blockade and sanctions, and releasing frozen Iranian assets.

"None Of This Is True": Loomer's Qatar Hit On Trump Aide Unravels
Earlier this week, the self-proclaimed "feisty jewess" Laura Loomer came after Trump's "social media guru" Alex Bruesewitz after the NYT reported on a lawsuit which alleged he took money from Qatar.
Hopping on the dogpile was dual citizen Eitan Fischberger who said Bruesewitz has been "waging a holy jihad against pro-Israel commentators critical of Qatar, including Mark Levin, Josh Hammer, Eyal Yakoby, and yours truly." Notably, the NYT author who originated the report also published a piece earlier this year which framed "podcasters" discussing Israel's attack on the U.S.S. Liberty as antisemites obsessed with "a ship attacked 58 years ago".
Upon digging into the lawsuit, one finds that the claim Bruesewitz received $500,000 from "individuals associated with Qatar" (whatever that means) originates from the plaintiff, Derek Utley, a former business partner of Bruesewitz, who says he heard it from another guy. The only problem is the other guy, Alex deGrasse, says it didn't happen...
"None of this is true; it's defamatory," deGrasse tweeted on Monday. "I called @LauraLoomer to tell her this." DeGrasse then additionally signed an affidavit that the conversation between him and Utley was fabricated.
So the sole source, deGrasse, for the alleged Qatari funds has stated both publicly and in a sworn affidavit that no such thing occurred. Bolstering this, Loomer then oddly attested to deGrasse's integrity, replying to him saying: "I think you are a great person and I've always said that about you. "
While it's almost not worth stating the irony of figures like Loomer accusing others of being foreign agents... It's doubly ironic given her weird pivot on Ukraine earlier this year.
Loomer was one of the loudest voices against sending U.S. taxes to Ukraine. She used to attack the Ukrainian military for being full of Nazis. She called Zelensky a "dictator" and Lindsey Graham a gay warmonger. Then, in July of this year, Loomer took a trip to Ukraine to interview not just Zelensky but the founder of the Azov Battalion .
Remarkably, she toured the drone producer (which she tags on X and shouts out by name) that Lindsey Graham toured days before his death. In the below video, Loomer states, with the enthusiasm of an ad read, "In honor of Lindsey's commitment to stand with the Ukrainian people... they're going to deploy the drone to the front lines so that it can be used to kill Russians."
I mean cmon...

From Dynamism To Diatribe: How Republicans Lost The Plot
From Dynamism To Diatribe: How Republicans Lost The Plot
Authored by Lipton Matthews via American Greatness ,
Give credit where it is due, because the record is better than coverage suggests. Dismantling DEI ended a regime of compulsory ideological conformity in federal agencies and made diversity initiatives unattractive in corporations. Furthermore, the retreat from disparate impact theory by the Trump administration was explosive. For decades, statistical imbalance was treated as presumptive proof of discrimination, which pushed employers, lenders, and schools to manage outcomes rather than judge individuals. In December 2025, the Justice Department amended its Title VI regulations to eliminate disparate impact liability. That corrected a doctrine that had drifted far beyond what civil rights statutes required.
Environmental policy tells a similar story. The EPA repealed its 2009 endangerment finding on February 12, 2026, removing the legal keystone of a sprawling regulatory edifice built on agency interpretation rather than on laws passed by Congress. Climate and economic policy should come through democratic lawmaking, and builders and investors will notice that the burden of proof has moved back toward regulators.
Then there are Trump Accounts, perhaps the most underrated idea of this term. Washington deposits $1,000 into an investment account for every child born between 2025 and 2028 once parents sign up. Whatever one thinks of the branding, the principle is sound. It gives every child, including those from families that have never owned a share of anything, a stake in the productive economy from birth. Conservatives have long talked about an ownership society, and this is one of the few serious attempts to build one.
Why, then, did a party with this record take such a beating? It persuaded itself that Donald Trump was a sufficient centerpiece and that devotion to one man could substitute for a governing vision. In 2016, his message was short and aspirational: Make America Great Again. It spoke to people who felt their country had stopped working for them. By 2024, it had matured into a practical program of restricting illegal immigration, dismantling the DEI edifice, and growing the economy, which voters could weigh against their own lives. MAGA in 2026 offered no such thing. It had no liberating message, and it shrank from a movement of dynamism into a stale rant.
Start with the kitchen table. Coverage of results tied voter anger to high prices, the war in Iran, and concerns about government corruption. A party that campaigns against the cost of living should have had a vivid, memorable answer to it. Instead, families struggling with rent, groceries, and insurance were offered culture-war content . The Associated Press called the House for Democrats early on Wednesday and reported Senate flips in Kansas, Iowa, Texas, and Ohio . Voters rarely reward a party that is angry about everything except their bills.
Candidates matter too, and Republicans fielded too many weak ones. In Ohio, a state Trump won by double digits in 2024, Vivek Ramaswamy ran a political ad profiling his opponent's estranged mother that Ohio's governor and other Republican leaders condemned as unseemly. Amy Acton, who emphasized healthcare and affordability, became the first Democrat to win that governorship in 20 years. In Texas, Democrat James Talarico was projected to beat Ken Paxton for a Senate seat, and he did. Stronger nominees might have held both.
Ramaswamy's case is instructive for a deeper reason. His signature critique of America is that its culture venerates mediocrity, prizing prom queens over math champions and jocks over valedictorians. Hence his admiration for grind culture among Asian and immigrant families. It is a flattering story for a certain kind of striver, and it misunderstands what has always made America formidable. Its genius was never a regimen of tutoring and test prep. It was entrepreneurship and commercialization. Americans can turn anything into a business. They turned a hamburger stand into a franchise empire, a parlor game into a sports-betting industry, and a few friends with a camera into a media company with a candy line. That restless, slightly irreverent commercial energy deserves celebration, not correction by imitating someone else's study habits.
Nor does grind guarantee success. A subsistence farmer in a poor country labors longer hours than any engineer in Silicon Valley and remains poor because effort multiplied by weak institutions is still weak. Poland should have taught Ramaswamy this lesson. Since communism collapsed, it has become one of Europe's fastest-growing economies, and it did so without importing East Asia's grind model. Market reforms, rule of law, openness to trade, and a flourishing small-business sector did that work. Incentives and institutions, not an ethic of suffering, explain which countries rise. There is bitter irony here too. Ramaswamy's own primary challenger, Casey Putsch, made openly race-based attacks against him and courted far-right groypers.
That brings us to contempt. It ran from an obsessive hostility toward Israel, which hardened into something resembling derangement, to berating Indian Americans, among the most educated citizens in America. Online magazine right-wingers went overboard on immigration, sliding from a defensible case for enforcement and calibrated numbers into suspicion of newcomers and their children.
Whether an ethnonationalist concept of America is legitimate is irrelevant. It does not matter if cogent arguments exist that a nation is an extended family or that it is racial rather than civic. Most Americans find these ideas unpalatable, and in a democracy, that settles matters. Republican establishment figures overestimated the power of podcast land and underestimated ordinary Americans' contempt for tribalism and bigotry. MAGA podcasters bashing minorities or questioning the nationality of non-whites born in the United States unsettled even right-wing voters.
J.D. Vance compounded the error by behaving like a podcaster bro. He appeared on shows to criticize Israel as though that would win votes, and it did not translate into any. Many Republicans now blame the Iran war, and it clearly mattered, but that explanation is too convenient. Thomas Massie was his party's most strident antiwar voice, and yet he humiliatingly lost his seat. Opposition to war was real, but Americans were angrier at lackluster party leadership than at any single policy. Republicans had become defined by what they hated rather than what they would do.
Immigration shows this pattern. Deportations are necessary, yet not even most Republicans wanted to see ICE sweeping up people with no record of antisocial behavior and treating them like drug lords. Raids became a liability. Republicans also failed to read the room. They believed in a vibe shift even as Democratic Socialists ascended, and because they were impervious to evidence, they kept putting faith in podcasters and talking heads, as though ordinary voters care about podcast rantings.
Lampooning DEI became a hallmark of online right-wingers, to the point where posts would surface in my feed claiming that black students with above-average grades received offers from elite schools only because of DEI. A good argument against racial preferences degenerated into a stale rant. Even many who flirt with racial politics have black friends or non-white spouses, which is part of why such pitches ring false. There were serious efforts to do better. Groups like the America First Policy Institute tried to intellectualize Trumpism, and Fred Fleitz could make a coherent case for the Iran war, but these voices were dwarfed by imbecilic commentary from a host of bad actors.
Consider what was lost. MAGA at its best was a movement of energy, of builders, deal-makers, and people impatient with managed decline. It promised to get things done, and its signature achievements were policies. What replaced that dynamism was a feed of grievances. Had Republicans offered a positive message and stayed focused on policy, instead of polluting Twitter with diatribes against every non-white group, they would probably have done better. Racial and cultural controversies need not be suppressed. Such discourse can simply be conducted without impertinence. Republicans thought they were being "based" by resurfacing antisemitic and racist tropes, and voters canceled that basedness with a resounding Democratic victory. They must own their losses because, unfortunately, scapegoating Israel will not rescue them from the fangs of embarrassment.

FAA Lifts Nationwide Ground Stop After Comms System Crash; Flight Disruptions Could Stretch Into Tomorrow
The latest:
FAA Lifts Nationwide Ground Stop FAA halts all departures nationwide; flights in the air allowed to continue First nationwide ground stop since the January 2023 NOTAM failure Duffy cites a communications failure hitting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers Comms failure due to network reboot/crash DHS's Mullin calls it a telecom outage and says there's no sign of an attack, "not another 9/11" Mullin says the fix will take "some time" and he can't rule out an AI link Some international departures from the east and west coasts were being allowed Duffy, Mullin Hold Press Briefing
FAA Ground Stop Has Been Lifted At 8:19 p.m. EST, the FAA canceled a nationwide ground stop that began around 4:00 p.m. EST and stranded tens of thousands of passengers. This is the second such shutdown since the September 11, 2001, terror attacks
The shutdown snarled airports nationwide, with airlines canceling more than 1,000 flights and delaying more than 10,000 , according to flight-tracking website FlightAware.
The Department of Homeland Security released a statement saying the disruption was not caused by a cyberattack . In fact, the outage appears to be related to a telecommunications network overseen by L3Harris Technologies
There is no official timeline for when normal flight operations will resume after the ground stop , but the widespread disruption suggests recovery could take hours, potentially into Saturday morning.
However, JetBlue provided some clarity, warning passengers that disruptions will last into tomorrow morning .
FAA Nationwide Ground Stop Caused By Network Reboot, System Crash; CBS Reports More than 1,100 U.S. flights had been canceled and nearly 10,000 had been delayed as of Friday at 5:40 p.m. ET, according to FlightAware. As of around 4 p.m., there were still roughly 11,000 flights scheduled to depart from U.S. airports Friday, according to aviation analytics company Cirium.
Some international departures from the east and west coasts were being allowed to take off Friday evening, according to industry officials.
Polymarket predictions suggest the ground stop will be lifted around 2240ET. But after that, who knows how long until any kind of normal is resumed.
Caused By Network Update Crash, Reboot The outage appears to be related to a telecommunications network overseen by L3Harris Technologies, according to people briefed on the matter.
The network handles crucial radio frequencies that air-traffic controllers use to communicate with pilots, the people said. It wasn't immediately clear whether the outage also affected the radar feeds that controllers use to keep aircraft safely separated in the skies.
CBS News reporter Olivia Rinaldi says in a post on X, citing unidentified people, said an update to this private communications network that connects America's air traffic control system caused the system to reboot, and when the FAA's telecommunication infrastructure rebooted, it crashed, causing the communications outage.
There is no confirmation of this report officially.
"Not Another 9/11": DHS Update (1707ET): telecommunications outage and not terrorism .
MULLIN: "This was a telecommunication outage throughout the FAA. Out of abundant caution, we have grounded all the flights, and all the flights are accounted for... ""There was no indication as of yet that this was a nefarious attack against us. It’s just a telecommunication outage as of right now.
"There's no reason for the public to be afraid or scared for your loved ones," adding this isn't "another 9/11."
***
FAA: Full Ground Stop The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered a nationwide ground stop on all departing flights due to technical issues. The agency has listed an equipment outage (with comms issues noted in advisories).
The order, issued by the FAA’s Air Traffic Control System Command Center at approximately 20:54 UTC (12:54 p.m. PST), applies to every U.S. airport. All aircraft still on the ground are to remain stopped until further notice . Flights already airborne are being allowed to continue to their destinations, while inbound international flights are being handled on a case-by-case basis.
The official advisory states:
DUE TO EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES AND FOR REASONS OF SAFETY.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed the order on X, stating that the FAA issued the nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports “following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers.” He added that FAA technicians are investigating and that updates will be provided as they become available.
Nationwide ground stops are rare . The last full national stop of this type occurred in January 2023 after a failure of the FAA’s Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system. That outage lasted roughly 90 minutes and caused thousands of delays and cancellations.
As of early afternoon Pacific time, the situation remained fluid. Passengers with flights scheduled for the remainder of the day are advised to check their airline’s app or website for the latest status, as recovery times will depend on how quickly the underlying equipment issues are resolved.

Car Bomb Severely Injures Exiled Pro-Kremlin Ukrainian Official In Moscow
A targeted assassination attempt via car bombing has once again rocked Moscow. This time, the "pro-Kremlin" target survived, in what authorities are calling an attempted murder case and act of terrorism.
A onetime spokesman to former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov is said to be serious condition Friday in a local hospital, after narrowly surviving an explosion beneath his SUV in the south of the city.
The man has been identified as 72-year old Sergei Zavorotny . After the blast, reportedly the result of a magnetic bomb placed beneath the vehicle, he was quickly given first aid by passersby on the side of the road.
via Reuters
After formally leaving politics, Zavorotny has long worked as a journalist and commentator. Local reports suggest he's in very bad shape after barely making it out of the blast.
He was Prime Minister Azarov's press aide in Kyiv until 2014. BBC notes , "But when pro-Kremlin Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych was toppled from power, Azarov fled Kyiv for Russia and tried unsuccessfully to set up a government in exile ."
Zavorotny - seen as a close Azarov confidant - has been sought by Ukrainian security services ever since :
In 2019 a Ukrainian court sentenced Yanukovych to 13 years in prison in absentia for treason, and Kyiv later placed sanctions on him and Azarov.
Zavorotny called the sanctions against his former boss emblematic of "a kind of Ukrainian-style McCarthyism, where local authorities simply 'snap to attention' and carry out the orders of their overseas supervisors ," in comments to Russia's RBC newspaper.
Only the day prior, a Russian colonel was killed in another explosion in St Petersburg. The blasts suggest that Ukrainian intelligence is once again ramping up assassination and sabotage efforts inside Russia.
The circumstances of Thursday's St Peternsburb blast were similar :
A Russian colonel has been killed in a car explosion outside St Petersburg , according to reports. Investigators have opened a murder probe after an unnamed serviceman died in the blast in the city’s Pushkinsky District early on Thursday.
A bomb is believed to have been strapped to the underside of the vehicle , detonating on the Kolpino Highway around 7am local time, according to local media.
An unnamed source told Russian outlet Fontanka that a colonel had killed in the blast while driving. A family member travelling with them was injured by shrapnel , they added.
This adds to a growing list of high profile assassinations related to the Ukraine war. To review of a partial list of some of the most high profile killings:
—Darya Dugina was killed in a car bombing in 2022 which was likely meant for her father, prominent political thinker and often dubbed "Putin ally" Aleksandr Dugin.
—Gen Igor Kirillov died in December 2024 outside of his residence when a bomb planted in a nearby scooter detonated.
—Gen Yaroslav Moskalik, who served as deputy head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, was killed in a car bomb attack in April 2025. A "homemade" explosive device detonated under his Volkswagen Golf in a residential neighborhood.
Throughout the course of the war there's been a string of these mysterious assassinations on Russian soil involving car and even cafe bombs.

$19,100,000,000,000: Americans Are Drowning In The Largest Ocean Of Consumer Debt In The History Of The World
Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse Blog ,
Total household debt in the United States just hit a brand new all-time record high . For a large portion of the U.S. population, debt is a suffocating financial reality that never goes away. Millions upon millions of Americans found themselves drowning in debt the instant that they left college, and a very large percentage of them will still be deep in debt when they die. The entire system is designed to get us into debt and keep us there.
Because a college education has become so expensive, most Americans have to go into debt to get one. Once you get out of school, you rapidly discover that you are going to have to go into more debt to get a vehicle or buy a home. And don't even get me started on medical debt. Most Americans, and this is especially true for those under the age of 40, are carrying mountains of soul-crushing debt. This is one of the primary reasons why young adults seem to be so angry all the time.
Many Americans that purposely tried to stay out of debt by living a frugal lifestyle have now been forced to take on debt by the rising cost of living.
At this stage, approximately 63 percent of all U.S. adults are living paycheck to paycheck , and 44 percent of Americans struggle to pay for even the most basic necessities.
When you are living right on the edge, it is so easy to go into debt when an unexpected expense suddenly arises .
You tell yourself that you are going to pay it off right away, but then something else comes up next month.
Of course if you end up getting sick and have to go to the hospital, that can set you back financially for years.
I can understand why millions of young people say that they are sick and tired of playing the game .
This week, we learned that total household debt in the United States has reached an all-time record high of 19.1 trillion dollars ...
Total household debt rose $334 billion in the third quarter, to $19.1 trillion, according to new data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Even if we added nothing to that total from now on, it would take us approximately 52,293 years to pay off 19.1 trillion dollars of household debt at a rate of 1 million dollars per day .
Of course we are never going to pay off all that debt, are we?
The system is designed to keep increasing the total amount of household debt so that financial institutions can get even wealthier.
Credit card debt is among the most insidious forms of debt.
Last quarter, the total amount of credit card debt in the U.S. rose to a new record high of 1.29 trillion dollars ...
According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's latest Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit, released November 10, credit card balances increased by $22 billion during the third quarter, reaching $1.29 trillion.
That's a 1.7% increase from the previous quarter and approximately 4.2% more than a year earlier.
The increase comes as American households continue to struggle with the cumulative effects of inflation, elevated borrowing costs, and other pressures on family budgets .
This should deeply alarm all of us.
According to Consumer Affairs , credit card balances have "increased by approximately 61% over the past five years"
Credit card balances have increased by approximately 61% over the past five years, according to an analysis of the Fed's data by American Banker. The total first crossed the $1 trillion threshold in 2023.
Sadly, we owe even more than that on our auto loans and our student loans ...
Auto loan balances increased by $21 billion to $1.73 trillion , while student loan balances rose by $5 billion to $1.66 trillion.
Home equity lines of credit increased by $23 billion to $481 billion, the largest quarterly increase in that category since 2005.
The average length for a loan on a new vehicle is now 69 months.
The reason why payments are being stretched out for so long is because the average price of a new vehicle has hit $51,109 ...
The average price of a new vehicle in the US has climbed to a record $51,109 , according to a new Cox Automotive report citing Kelley Blue Book data. Combined with new-car loan rates near their highest levels since the mid-2000s, record sticker prices are putting vehicle ownership increasingly out of reach for many working-class folks, even before insurance, fuel and maintenance costs are factored in.
The vast majority of Americans cannot afford to purchase a new vehicle.
In fact, used vehicles are now out of reach for much of the population.
Our standard of living is declining right in front of our eyes , and that should be obvious to everyone.
When I was growing up, homes were being rapidly constructed all over the country and they were quite affordable.
But now homes are insanely expensive and home sales just fell to their lowest level in 16 years
Home sales declined in October to their lowest level since 2010, a new trough for a housing market that has been hovering near rock bottom for more than four years.
Sales of existing homes fell 5.5% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.75 million, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday, marking the steepest decline since January. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal expected a decline of 3.8%.
This is not what prosperity looks like.
Decades of very foolish decisions have destroyed our standard of living , and the outlook for the future is exceedingly bleak.
U.S. households are 19 trillion dollars in debt, and the federal government is 40 trillion dollars in debt.
How can anyone possibly claim that this is going to end well?
Earlier today, I came across an article about the sinking of the SS United States...
The historic SS United States, once the fastest ship on the seas, made a slow final journey beneath the waters Wednesday.
The famous ocean liner - which is longer than the Titanic and crossed the Atlantic more than 800 times - was deliberately sunk Wednesday to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, where the once-luxurious behemoth was set to begin a new chapter as the world's largest artificial reef.
It was a long goodbye.
Hours after the sinking began on a cloudy afternoon, much of the hulking ship could still be seen in the dark waters off the coast of the Florida Panhandle by nightfall.
Just like that ship, our economy was once a magnificent vessel .
But now it is also sinking.
Previous generations handed us the keys to the most robust economy in the history of the world and we wrecked it.
We obviously did not learn anything from our mistakes, because we just elected the worst group of lawmakers that I have ever seen .
It has been said that debt is the worst form of poverty.
In other words, owing money is worse than simply having nothing at all because you are starting below zero .
Our leaders were able to keep the party going for a long time, but now a moment of reckoning is at hand and the collapse that is starting to unfold is going to be incredibly painful .

"He Wants This To Go Fast": Nvidia's Top Lawyer Kept Name-Dropping Trump To Strong-Arm Regulators, According To Report
Nvidia general counsel Tim Teter told more than a dozen government officials working on terms & conditions for the company's H200 chip exports to China that he was in a meeting with President Trump and Jensen Huang to discuss the issue , Semafor reported Friday.
Tim Teter, EVP, General Counsel and Secretary
"He wants this to go fast ," Teter said on the January call, according to people with access to a detailed account of it. The line went quiet.
In order to remain compliant, chip sellers would be required to know who their cloud customers were before shipping and to vet anyone buying more than a few thousand chips (recall China's 'technically legal' loophole ). Teter called the cloud-customer requirement a deal-killer for Nvidia , and the company pushed to raise the vetting threshold to the tens of thousands of chips, billions of dollars' worth, and to limit end-of-life conditions to chips already under export controls.
According to the report, Teter bandied about DC name-dropping Trump to try and grease gears . In one exchange the outlet viewed, he accused officials drafting export restrictions of misrepresenting Nvidia's products and Trump's policies, and scolded them for not carrying out the president's agenda.
The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security, meanwhile, said it is routine for agencies to work with individual companies on license conditions, which often change in response to legitimate business concerns, and that the State, Defense, Energy and Commerce departments sign off on the final versions.
The Megaspeed Calls Five months before that call, Teter emailed the Commerce Department agents building a smuggling case against Megaspeed , telling them Under Secretary Jeffrey Kessler had given Nvidia permission to reach out, as we reported . Megaspeed is the Singapore data center company whose former executive, Alice Huang, is the suspected Chinese spy Jensen Huang has acknowledged a relationship with.
The Justice Department took control of the probe shortly afterward, with some officials there worried that Kessler's contact with Nvidia "had tainted the investigation," the Wall Street Journal reported. DOJ now runs a criminal inquiry. Commerce says Kessler never ordered information shared with Nvidia and that the bureau handles enforcement by the book.
Nvidia gave the bureau an incomplete account of its business with Megaspeed in the months after Teter's late-summer 2025 call to Kessler, Bloomberg reported .
Nvidia told Bloomberg that Teter didn't know about Huang's affair when he contacted Kessler, and says its outreach to Commerce was meant to provide information and help stop illegal transshipment. The company says it cut off all sales and shipments to Megaspeed in June 2025. Malaysian trade records show Megaspeed imported at least 17,544 of Nvidia's GB300 processors, worth about $787 million, in November 2025, according to Bloomberg.
Huang, who resigned as CEO on Thursday, has said there was no evidence Nvidia's chips were being diverted to China. Bloomberg has since reported that the Megaspeed sales Nvidia disclosed to the US government came up about 50,000 chips short, worth billions of dollars.
The Tracking Nvidia Said It Couldn't Build Nvidia told congressional staffers in 2025 that a Chip Security Act provision requiring chipmakers to be able to locate their chips couldn't be done , former staffers told Semafor. It would take entirely new technology, the company said, and even then the tracking would be easy to spoof.
Nvidia's lobbyists also warned committee staff that location tracking would open up cyber vulnerabilities. One former staffer said the committee spent six months going behind Nvidia to undo what it had told other offices. Others said the company counted on most Hill aides lacking the technical background to push back, and got a range of bills weakened that way.
In August 2025, Nvidia's chief security officer argued in a company blog post that building backdoors and kill switches into chips "would be a gift to hackers and hostile actors." Reuters reported the post as Nvidia urging Washington against location verification.
Four months later, Nvidia confirmed to Reuters that it had built location verification software, as we noted at the time. It had been demonstrating the feature privately for months, and launched it in May. One former staffer accused Nvidia of lying to Congress about whether tracking was feasible while it was building the feature into its next generation of chips.
Megaspeed Still Isn't Blacklisted Officials were weighing whether to add Megaspeed to the Commerce Department's Entity List as early as spring 2025 , a former State Department official told Semafor, earlier than previously reported. A former Commerce official said the department can blacklist a company extremely fast when it wants to.
As we noted on Thursday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent allegedly confronted Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in the White House Situation Room on Nov. 5 over why Megaspeed still isn't on the list; Commerce denied the exchange took place. On Friday, Bessent said Treasury, War, USTR and State "were in favor of putting Megaspeed on the entity list for months," and Lutnick agreed to testify before the Senate Banking Committee.

Operation TorNado: 354 Arrested, $234 Million Seized In Global Dark Web Drug Crackdown
Operation TorNado: 354 Arrested, $234 Million Seized In Global Dark Web Drug Crackdown
Authored by Jacki Thrapp via The Epoch Times ,
U.S. and international authorities arrested hundreds of people and seized drugs, guns, cash, and cryptocurrency in Operation TorNado , a crackdown on dark web sales of fentanyl and other drugs, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said on Nov. 12.
The department put the total at 354 arrests and said the cash and cryptocurrency seized were worth more than $234 million .
Vendors and buyers on dark web marketplaces such as Archetyp, Bohemia, Nemesis, Kingdom, and Tor2Door were caught in the crackdown.
The arrests included 132 in the United States, 59 in the UK, 45 in Hungary, 41 in Germany , 23 in France, 13 in New Zealand, 12 in the Netherlands, 11 in Slovenia, six in Austria, five in Ireland, four in Czechia, two in Australia, and one in Finland.
The department described Operation TorNado as a coordinated, multi-agency, and international law enforcement effort.
The department's Joint Criminal Opioid and Darknet Enforcement (JCODE) team and Europol jointly announced the results, marking the latest operation in their ongoing partnership against illicit trade on the dark web.
"Operation TorNado represents the sixth - and most extensive - internationally coordinated action since JCODE was created in 2018," the DOJ said.
An undisclosed number of investigations are still underway to identify people behind dark web accounts.
The SpeedyPharma Case One of the suspected drug traffickers was Jonatan Gonzales, 35, of South Bakersfield, California. Gonzales, known by the dark web distributor name SpeedyPharma, allegedly used his home to ship illegal drugs to multiple addresses across the country.
Law enforcement officers seized 48 pounds of methamphetamine, 386 grams of black tar heroin, 588 grams of cocaine, $40,565 in cash, 2.8 grams of carfentanil, and 3.5 grams of fentanyl at his home.
"Now that might not sound like a lot of fentanyl, but remember, the potentially lethal dose of fentanyl is just 2 milligrams," Attorney General Todd Blanche said during a press conference in Washington on Nov. 12. "That means that the amount of fentanyl seized at his residence was potentially lethal to over 1,700 people."
Blanche elaborated, saying that the amount of fentanyl, if taken, could kill everyone in a small town or a graduating class of high school or college.
"There's no doubt that Operation TorNado saved lives across the country, and there is nothing that will stop this administration's commitment to protecting the American people from synthetic drugs, which are lethal," he said.
Gary Barksdale, chief postal inspector of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, said the accused criminals were "exploiting" the service and other carriers in order to ship the drugs .
"When they utilize the mail for those transactions, these criminals threaten the safety of postal employees and the integrity of the postal network that hundreds of millions in the U.S. and across the globe depend on every day," Barksdale said.
FBI Director Kash Patel said his agency has accelerated cyber capabilities with a newly established Cyber Branch, which is evolving to meet threats on the dark web.
"The success of Operation TorNado makes clear that criminals cannot hide behind technology or geography - no matter where you operate, justice will find you," Patel said.
