US intelligence and law enforcement agencies believe that ISIS and other terrorist organizations have developed innovative ways to plant explosives in electronic devices that FBI testing shows can evade some commonly used airport security screening methods, CNN has learned.

Heightening the concern is US intelligence suggesting that terrorists have obtained sophisticated airport security equipment to test how to effectively conceal explosives in laptops and other electronic devices.

The intelligence, gathered in the last several months, played a significant role in the Trump administration's decision to prohibit travelers flying out of 10 airports in eight countries in the Middle East and Africa from carrying laptops and other large electronic devices aboard planes.

Flynn’s Reported Immunity Request

And exactly what would you do if you were in General Michael Flynn’s shoes?

As it happens, Flynn has retained Robert Kelner, a very skilled attorney. Still, there is not a competent lawyer in America who, absent some form of immunity for his client, would have let Flynn submit to interviews by components of the United States government investigating Russian meddling in the election. And were there any doubt about that, it should be eliminated by the fact that private negotiations between Kelner and counsel for congressional committees were immediately leaked in a manner designed to make Flynn look bad.

When a person is asked to cooperate with the government – particularly regarding a matter the FBI, in a departure from its protocols, has publicly acknowledged it is investigating – there are two considerations. The first is his own understanding of his conduct, and whether it exposes him to criminal liability. The second, and in many ways the more important consideration, is his perception of how the government views him. Even a person certain that he has done nothing wrong, that he is pure as the driven snow, would be a fool not to seek immunity if it appeared that the government might be predisposed against him.

General Flynn’s lawyer appears to have asked for some form of immunity. It is standard fare, it is not an admission of guilt, and in the current climate, it was the only sensible thing to do.

Probably best to stay away from the internet these days if you want to stay hidden.

Incorrect. Hide in plain sight. If you want to stay off the government's radar, just post silly cat videos to Facebook every few days. Upload some photos of your meals to Snapchat. Upvote some of the approved marxist/liberal videos on youtubes.

Trying to go off the radar makes you look different. Be the gray man.
