FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
I. ACTIONS TAKEN ON LOST AND STOLEN ITEMS
* FBI data show that between October 1, 1999 and January 31, 2002, a total of 212 functional weapons, 142 "red handle" training weapons, and 317 laptop computers were reported as either lost or stolen. We determined that in several instances missing FBI weapons were subsequently used in the commission of a crime or were recovered at the scene of a crime. In many instances, the loss of weapons and/or laptop computers was preventable because it resulted from carelessness on the part of individual employees or failure to adhere to FBI policies.
In this section of the report, we examine the FBI’s actions taken on lost and stolen items. Our discussion focuses on the following topics: Items Reported; Reports and Investigations of Losses; and Indications of Public Harm.

(Mis)Uses of Technology
from the surveillance-for-sale dept
Mon, Jul 1st 2024 10:47am - Tim Cushing
If you had an extra $100k on hand and happened to be on eBay at the right time, you could have become the proud(?) owner of tech that was once so secretive and controversial, both the manufacturer and the FBI would make you sign restrictive non-disclosure agreements just to purchase one.
A lot has changed since Harris Corporation’s Stingray cell site simulator went mainstream enough to suffer genericide. Harris’ cell tower spoofer was originally developed to track enemy operatives and terrorists in war zones around the world. Then it became something pretty much any cop shop could own and deploy — a surveillance device that allowed officers to locate cell phones and track their movement, all without being all that bothered by the Fourth Amendment implications.
This one, however, is no longer up for sale… at least not on eBay, anyway, as Jules Roscoe reports for 404 Media.
An apparently original StingRay cell phone surveillance device listed on eBay was taken down by the company on Tuesday after 404 Media contacted it about the listing. The device, which was labeled as used, was up for sale for $100,000.
The device was listed as “Harris Stingray Cellular Phone Surveillance w/ Power Cord & Rolling Case – USED.” Photos uploaded to the listing show the device, numerous cables, and a StingRay operating manual with the original Harris Communications logo. A close-up photo shows the power switch, which glows green when turned on. According to the operating manual, this device was from 2004.
Note that last sentence, though. Sure, it may “power up” (as the seller stated) and have all of its manuals, but a 2004 Stingray is more a curiosity than a potential threat to nearby

The Supreme Court’s opinions in the NetChoice/CCIA cases have been leading to some bizarre interpretations, as many people try to read into it things they wanted to see but just aren’t there. Cathy already covered some of the oddities of Justice Alito’s concurrence (which Justices Thomas and Gorsuch signed onto), but I wanted to dig in a little more to his concurrence, pointing out a few things that show just how much Alito is willing to decide on an ideological basis, rather than one based on principles.
First up is a point raised by Daphne Keller at Stanford. She notes that Alito cites to the Packingham ruling:
As the Court has recognized, social-media platforms have become the “modern public square.” Packingham v. North Carolina, 582 U. S. 98, 107 (2017). In just a few years, they have transformed the way in which millions of Americans communicate with family and friends, perform daily chores, conduct business, and learn about and comment on current events.
But, as Keller points out, in the Packingham case, Alito wrote a concurrence

Tue, Jul 2nd 2024 11:02am - Tim Cushing
Things are not looking great for SoundThinking, which hasn’t been able to outrun the reputation it earned when it was still known as ShotSpotter.
More and more major cities are choosing to ditch the technology because it simply does not appear to be worth paying for. What lots of cities are finding out is that the tech cannot reliably detect gunshots, does very little to contribute to criminal investigations, and wastes limited resources by sending officers to gunshot alerts that generally result in a bunch of wasted time.
With evidence piling up the tech doesn’t have any meaningful impact on violent crime rates, the company’s PR pitch has shifted focus. It’s new talking point is that it isn’t the number of cases closed, but the number of lives saved due to its gunshot detectors.
The theory is this: a large percentage of gunshots go unreported. 911 callers may call about gunshots they think they’ve heard but plenty of guns are being fired without being heard

Will it be an H5N1 or an H5N8 or something else that Moderna will provide? Why was H5N8 chosen for the Phase 1/2 trial? Was it because of the very high death rates in the H5N1 trials of the Sanofi and Sequirus H5N1 vaccines?

https://open.substack.com/pub/merylnass ... medium=iosNewsGuard fact-checked me today, providing the opportunity to clarify questions about the Audenz vaccine and the extremely high mortality rate in its small trial.

Below is the email I received and below that is my detailed reply.

Dr. Nass,
My name is John Gregory, health editor at NewsGuard. We're a news organization that reports on and tracks online misinformation.
I'm emailing in regards to your April 20, 2024, CHD video in which you cited the FDA package insert for the H5N1 vaccine Audenz, and said, "One in 200 people who got this vaccine in a clinical trial died," and later added, "This is a dangerous vaccine for a nothing disease.”
Video of your remarks has begun circulating widely on social media platforms in the past two weeks, used as evidence for claims like "Dr. Meryl Nass: One of the approved Bird Flu quackccines, Audenz… had a death rate of 1 in 200 during clinical trials.”
I noticed the screenshot included in your original video highlighted the sentence, "“Fatal SAEs [Serious Adverse Events] included 11 (0.5%) Audenz recipients and 1 (0.1%) placebo recipients," even though the very next sentence said, "“No SAEs were assessed as being related to Audenz,” meaning that none of the reported serious adverse events – including deaths – that occurred among trial participants were caused by the vaccine.
You also did not mention that the FDA's own statistical review of Audenz stated that, "No deaths occurred that were considered related to the vaccine,” and concluded, “No major statistical or safety issues have been identified” with the vaccine, or that the published results of the Audenz trial said:
None of the serious AEs or AEs of special interest reported by subjects who received aH5N1c were considered vaccine related. Two subjects in the placebo group reported a related AE of special interest (immune thrombocytopenic purpura and polymyalgia rheumatic); these events were also considered serious AEs. During the study, 12 (0.4%) subjects had serious AEs with a fatal outcome, none of which were attributed to the study treatment, and most (n = 11) occurred after Day 43 during the follow-up period in subjects ≥65 years with underlying severe comorbidities and multiple concomitant medications.
Is there any reason why you did not mention any of this countervailing information?
My deadline is 5pm eastern today, July 3. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Gregory,
Since I provided a screenshot of the package insert of the Audenz licensed vaccine and repeated what it said, this can hardly be characterized as misinformation, which you claim to be investigating. Since I included the next sentence in the presentation, it cannot even be construed as incomplete.
Had you been working on issues of vaccines for over 25 years as I have, you would have been aware that the sponsor (mfr) and FDA, who together craft the vaccine labels aka package inserts, ALWAYS assert that most or all of the deaths and serious adverse events occurring during a clinical trial were adjudged to be not due to the vaccine. Had they judged otherwise, a license would probably not have been issued. A license was issued for Audenz.
Later, when a vaccine is given to millions of people, not just a few hundred as in this case, one learns which side effects are IN FACT attributable to the vaccine.
For example, at least a hundred million Americans had received an mRNA COVID vaccine before it was determined to cause myocarditis, in late May of 2021 by FDA.
That is the reason why the raw data, which I presented, are important. So that people have the information to judge for themselves what risks they may face when choosing vaccination. In fact, clinical trials often exclude sick subjects, and drugs and vaccines almost invariably appear more safe and effective in clinical trial data than they do later, in the real world—a fact known to all medical researchers.
Why did I not mention material from an article? Because I was referring to the Audenz label, which is the legal document that FDA attests is true, unlike published articles which are generally written by the vaccine sponsor and have a lesser degree of reliability. In fact, the numbers in the article versus those in the label are not exactly the same.
Furthermore, if the US government was comfortable with the H5N1 Audenz vaccine, why did DHHS’ BARDA just place an order with Moderna for H5N8 mRNA vaccines, even though the avian flu circulating in the US is H5N1? Even though it makes much more sense to match the neuraminidase portion of the vaccine to the circulating strain… which is done every year when seasonal influenza vaccines are produced?
Finally, I invite you to take a look at the WHO data on deaths in humans worldwide from the H5N1 bird flu, which confirms it is a nothing disease in humans, having mutated to a different form than it once had. The federal health agencies have monitored 9,000 farm workers and all they found were 4 mild cases of disease, no hospitalizations and no deaths in the US over the past several years.
