Russian hackers targeted Arizona election system
By Ellen Nakashima

National security reporter
Hackers targeted voter registration systems in Illinois and Arizona, and the FBI alerted Arizona officials in June that Russians were behind the assault on the election system in that state.
The bureau described the threat as "credible" and significant, "an eight on a scale of one to 10," Matt Roberts, a spokesman for Arizona Secretary of State Michele Reagan (R), said Monday. As a result, Reagan shut down the state's voter registration system for nearly a week.
It turned out that the hackers had not compromised the state system or even any county system. They had, however, stolen the username and password of a single election official in Gila County.
Roberts said FBI investigators did not specify whether the hackers were criminals or employed by the Russian government. Bureau officials on Monday declined to comment, except to say that they routinely advise private industry of cyberthreats detected in investigations.
The Arizona incident is the latest indication of Russian interest in U.S. elections and party operations, and it follows the discovery of a high-profile penetration into Democratic National Committee computers. That hack produced embarrassing emails that led to the resignation of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and sowed dissension on the eve of Hillary Clinton's nomination as the party's presidential candidate.
The Russian campaign is also sparking intense anxiety about the security of this year's elections. Earlier this month, the FBI warned state officials to be on the lookout for intrusions into their election systems. The "flash" alert, which was first reported by Yahoo News, said investigators had detected attempts to penetrate election systems in several states and listed Internet protocol addresses and other technical fingerprints associated with the hacks.
In addition to Arizona, Illinois officials discovered an intrusion into their election system in July. Although the hackers did not alter any data, the intrusion marks the first successful compromise of a state voter registration database, federal officials said.
"This was a highly sophisticated attack most likely from a foreign (international) entity," said Kyle Thomas, director of voting and registration systems for the Illinois State Board of Elections, in a message that was sent to all election authorities in the state.
The Illinois hackers were able to retrieve voter records, but the number accessed was "a fairly small percentage of the total," said Ken Menzel, general counsel for the Illinois election board.
State officials alerted the FBI, he said, and the Department of Homeland Security also was involved. The intrusion in Illinois led to a week-long shutdown of the voter registration system.
The FBI has told Illinois officials that it is looking at foreign government agencies and criminal hackers as potential culprits, Menzel said.
At least two other states are looking into possible breaches, officials said. Meanwhile, states across the nation are scrambling to ensure that their systems are secure.

Until now, countries such as Russia and China have shown little interest in voting systems in the United States. But experts said that if a foreign government gained the ability to tamper with voter data — for instance by deleting registration records — such a hack could cast doubt on the legitimacy of U.S. elections.
"I'm less concerned about the attackers getting access to and downloading the information. I'm more concerned about the information being altered, modified or deleted. That's where the real potential is for any sort of meddling in the election," said Brian Calkin, vice president of operations for the Center for Internet Security, which operates the MS-ISAC, a multistate information-sharing center that helps government agencies combat cyberthreats and works closely with federal law enforcement.
James R. Clapper Jr., the director of national intelligence, has told Congress that manipulation or deletion of data is the next big cyberthreat — "the next push on the envelope."
Tom Hicks, chairman of the federal Election Assistance Commission, an agency set up by Congress after the 2000 Florida recount to maintain election integrity, said he is confident that states have sufficient safeguards in place to ward off attempts to manipulate data.
For example, if a voter's name were deleted and did not show up on the precinct list, the individual could still cast a provisional ballot, Hicks said. Once the voter's status was confirmed, the ballot would be counted.
Hicks also said the actual systems used to cast votes "are not hooked up to the Internet" and so "there's not going to be any manipulation of data." However, more than 30 states have some provisions for online voting, primarily for voters living overseas or serving in the military.
This spring, a DHS official cautioned that online voting is not yet secure.
"We believe that online voting, especially online voting in large scale, introduces great risk into the election system by threatening voters' expectations of confidentiality, accountability and security of their votes and provides an avenue for malicious actors to manipulate the voting results," said Neil Jenkins, an official in the department's Office of Cybersecurity and Communications.
Private-sector researchers are also concerned about potential meddling by Russians in the U.S. election system. Rich Barger, chief information officer at ThreatConnect, said that several of the IP addresses listed in the FBI alert trace back to a website-hosting service called King Servers that offers Russia-based technical support. Barger also said that one of the methods used was similar to a tactic employed in other intrusions suspected of being carried out by the Russian government, including one this month on the World Anti-Doping Agency.
"The very fact that [someone] has rattled the doorknobs, the very fact that the state election commissions are in the crosshairs, gives grounds to the average American voter to wonder: Can they really trust the results?" Barger said.
Earlier this month, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson held a conference call with state elections officials, offering his assistance in protecting against cyberattacks.
Johnson said that DHS was "not aware of any specific or credible cybersecurity threats relating to the upcoming general election systems," according to a readout of the call.
It was not clear whether he was aware at the time of the FBI's investigations in Arizona and Illinois.
Correction: An earlier version of this story misspelled the surname of the vice president of operations for the Center for Internet Security, Brian Calkin.

Here are five stories from Oxfordshire which people have been clicking on this week.
A gritter was sent to clear a woman's street after an on-air radio appeal to the leader of Oxfordshire County Council.
Becky Aries asked Ian Hudspeth for help to reach her husband's funeral on BBC Radio Oxford, after heavy snow left her road impassable on Monday.
He said he would see if anything could be done and within two hours the council sent a gritter to clear her road.
Oxford Brookes was criticised this week after it closed all its buildings for two days due to snow.
It used the hashtag #SnowDay to accompany a tweet that said it would be shut on Sunday and Monday.
In response one student said: "I don't think #SNOWDAY is an appropriate hashtag... we deserve to know why we have no access to our library."
Defending the closure, the university said icy conditions were expected to cause difficulties as more snow fell.
A teacher who says he faced disciplinary action after he referred to a transgender pupil as a girl is taking his school to an employment tribunal.
Joshua Sutcliffe, from Oxford, says he was investigated after he said "well done girls" to a group that included a student who identifies as a boy.
The 27-year-old Christian pastor is now suing the school for constructive dismissal and discrimination.
The secondary school previously said it would be "inappropriate" to comment.
Cosmetics retailer Lush has said one of its shops - which the firm was criticised for boarding up - can be used as a temporary homeless shelter.
The boards were placed outside its premises in Oxford city centre last month after the company closed the branch.
This prompted criticism from the Green Party in Oxford as rough sleepers had been using the doorway.
After apologising and removing the boards, Lush has now said the shop can be used as a temporary shelter.
The People's Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) Dickin Medal was given to a pigeon that flew from the Greek island Crete to Alexandria, Egypt.
The 406 mile (653km) flight took place in 1943 and the accolade was awarded to the bird called Princess in 1946.
It was sold to an internet buyer by the family of the trainer at Holloway's Auctioneers.

Neither modern nor Shakespearean, Smith Island's English is unique

Smith Island in the Chesapeake Bay faces high risk of flooding, erosion and land loss as a result of sea-level rise and more severe storms.(Photo: file image)
There's a cluster of tiny islands in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay, populated by a small community of people descended from British, Welsh and Cornish settlers who are believed to have arrived in the early 1600s.
Smith Island and its Virginia counterpart, Tangier, are often said to be a window into the life and language of the past.
The close relationships among residents, the words and twangy accent sets their speech patterns and dialect apart. The rhythm of their voices are part of the reason outsiders can become puzzled by what they see and hear when islanders interact.
Then there's a phenomenon called "backwards talk" that loosely resembles the sarcasm and irony common to most Americans.
"Outsiders don't understand how we talk to each other," said Chris Parks, an island native who hopes to return to his childhood community soon after having lived a portion of his adult life on the mainland.
He wasn't just talking about the tone or playful insults.
"When an outsider sees a group of Smith Islanders calling each other names and insulting each other, they usually think they don't like each other. But that's not true," Parks explained.

Rumors have long persisted about whether the distinctive speech patterns and accent of Smith Islanders is the same English spoken by the British, Cornish and Welsh settlers who populated the island in the 1600s — which intersects with the era of Queen Elizabeth and William Shakespeare.
So are the rumors true?
"My answer to that question is yes," said Natalie Schilling, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University. "And no."
Schilling, who grew up on the Eastern Shore, has studied Smith Island dialect extensively. She has concluded the Smith Island dialect does retain some words, phrases and features that date back to Shakespeare's time and even earlier.
But despite the relative isolation from America's mainstream, time has managed to leave its stamp on the island's culture and language.

The Delmarva Peninsula is often said to be isolated, or at least off the beaten track. Connected to the mainland by a small bit of land northern end of the Chesapeake Bay and two bridges that span the bay at Kent Island and the tip of Virginia's Northampton County, it nonetheless often feels separated to residents.
Still, to have been born and raised on Smith Island is to more deeply understand true isolation. Islanders understand this, and for them it's a point of pride.
A panel discussion of island natives was part of a series of presentations hosted recently by the Crisfield Heritage Foundation to explore various aspects of the islanders' dialect and speech patterns, followed by an evening performance of "As You Like It" by the Brown Box Theater Project.

This was made crystal clear as the five Smith Island panel members engaged in a public conversation with each other and engaged their audience.
Smith Island is located about 10 miles off Delmarva, in the Chesapeake Bay. It is uniquely isolated because it is accessible only by boat, or by helicopter. There are no bridges, no airport.

Smith Island is closer to Tangier Island, its Virginia counterpart, than it is to Crisfield, located about 10 miles away on the mainland. Island children attend school in Ewell, one of three villages on the island, until they start middle school.
Middle and high school students take a boat to Crisfield to attend school, and return home in the afternoon. But that wasn't always the case; older islanders recall sometimes "lodging" on the mainland all week to attend high school.
The dialect spoken by Smith Islanders is distinct. The most obvious difference is the way islanders pronounce certain words. But a number of the words themselves are unrecognizable to the average American.
Some of those words can actually be traced directly to words used in Elizabethan English. For example, "mudlarking" is used today on Smith Island in reference to picking up oysters or crabs in the shallows. The word, however, dates back to at least 1796 (still post-Shakespeare) when it was used to describe a person who would wade around ships in shallow water to steal small items of cargo.
Another word used by islanders is "proggin," which refers to collecting arrowheads or other artifacts from marshland. It dates back to the early 1600s when it meant "poking around for anything that might be picked up."

So bits of Elizabethan or Shakespearean English remain in use on the island. But not all the words and phrases peculiar to Smith Island are derived from history.
Schilling and some of her students compiled a short dictionary of Smith Island terminology. No fewer than 56 words in that dictionary refer to crabs or crabbing — a testament to the importance of crabbing to Smith Island's economy, culture and history.
There are other reminders of the island's early settlers. For example, the way words are pronounced is distinctive to the island, and British is probably not the first thought that occurs upon hearing a Smith Islander speak.
However, some of those pronunciations evolved from Britain, Wales and Cornwall speech patterns.
Strong accent
For example, the word "raised" sounds more like "rised" or the word "down" is heard as "dane." "Oil" sounds like "ale" to the untrained ear.
That twangy pronunciation may have distant relation to the Cornwall or Welch pronunciations of the early settlers, but it's evolved into a pattern of speech unique to Smith Island.
"Criche" with a long "I" means "crouch."
Sometimes listening to people talking on Smith Island just makes outsiders scratch their heads or say "Wait, what did you just say?"
Island speech is slow and relaxed, a soft drawl that reflects the rhythm of daily life and the tuning of seasons on the island.
Parks, along with panel members Sherri Marsh Johns, Yvonne Harrison, Janice Marshall and Jim Evans shared stories about their childhoods and life in the island community to demonstrate how their dialect sounds to people who attended the Crisfield Heritage Foundation's events.
"Whenever someone is in need," said Harrison, speaking of her community, "everyone comes out to help. Because when something happens, everyone knows it's too much for any one of us to do it alone, so everyone comes out to help. And they stay until the job is done, no matter how long that takes."
Backwards talk
One of the more unusual features of Smith Island's speech is the backwards talk. It is exactly what it sounds like, but it's more than the typical irony used by most people.
"That don't look right," a Smith Islander might say. But it means "that looks good."
Instead of saying "He really loves his daughter," an islander might say "He don't think nothing of his little girl."
Other island speech patterns sound odd, but are comprehensible. At times it feels like grammar gone awry — including verbs that do not match the subject, as in "it weren't no trouble" instead of "it wasn't any trouble" or just "no problem."

An islander might tell someone he likes to "go a-swimming of an evening." It's not quite the way most people would say it, but the meaning is clear.
In one of her stories about her childhood on the island, Harrison recalled how her daddy once told her after a Sunday afternoon dip in the water: "You've got six days a week to go a-swimmin' and you've no need to go a-swimmin' of a Sunday."
One interesting finding mentioned by Schilling is how Smith Island's dialect is not fading. As the island's population shrinks and its young people have far more access to the outside world than their ancestors did, Schilling said, you would expect to see the dialect and arcane pronunciations begin to disappear.
Instead, she said, the exact opposite is happening.
Smith Islanders' sense of self-identity is, more than that of most Americans, firmly grounded in place and time. Perhaps this explains the way they hold fast to that which sets them apart.
Fiercely independent, yet maintaining a strong sense of family identity and community, Smith Islanders know they are special, in a humble, grateful manner, and they have no desire to let that go.
The panel members all said they were grateful to have grown up on Smith Island.
"I remember one summer, the last summer before I started crabbing with my father," said Parks. "We'd go diving with knives in the harbor and cut ropes that had got tangled around boat propellers, and we'd get paid a dollar or two to free the propellers. We'd use the money for our needs, or wants, and we sometimes had to replace knives we lost in the process."
Parks said it was the best time he remembers from his childhood.
"We didn't have a care in the world, we did what we wanted, worked when we needed money and went swimming or fishing at will," he said.
"It was just a perfect summer," he said.

Yang di-Pertuan Besar (o Yamtuan Besar) di Negeri Sembilan è il titolo del sovrano costituzionale di Negeri Sembilan, uno dei tredici Stati della Malaysia. Il sovrano è selezionato da un consiglio detto degli undangs. Questa pratica è seguita dal 1773. Il Yamtuan Besar è scelto tra i principi delle quattro tribù di Negeri Sembilan. Questa singolare forma di governo in seguito ispirò il Primo ministro Tunku Abdul Rahman di attuare una forma di monarchia costituzionale a rotazione per la Federazione della Malesia.

Storia

Negeri Sembilan ricevette immigrati provenienti da Sumatra per centinaia di anni. Prima della realizzazione di questa singolare forma di monarchia l'area era governata dal sultano di Malacca. Dopo che questo venne sconfitto dai portoghesi, Negeri Sembilan passò sotto il governo del sultanato di Johor.

Nel 1760, Johor, entrato in conflitto con gli olandesi, decise di consentire allo Stato di trovare un leader proveniente da Minangkabau, nell'isola di Sumatra. Tra il 1760 e il 1770, un consiglio dei leader noto come Luak Penghulu (il predecessore dell'attuale Consiglio degli Undangs) partì per Pagar Ruyung in Minangkabau alla ricerca di un leader.

Il raja di Pagar Ruyung - che era ritenuto discendente di Dhu al-Qarnayn (forse Alessandro Magno o Ciro il Grande) - concesse loro un leader in suo figlio, raja Mahmud. Mahmud in seguito divenne noto come raja Melewar quando raggiunse Negeri Sembilan.

Quando il raja Melewar morì nel 1795, invece di proclamare suo figlio come nuovo leader, lo stesso Consiglio dei capi intraprese un nuovo viaggio nella loro terra di origine. Anche questa volta, il raja di Pagar Ruyong permise a uno dei suoi figli, raja Hitam, di divenire il nuovo sovrano. Raja Hitam sposò la figlia di raja Melewar, Tengku Aishah ma non ebbero figli. Morì nel 1808.

Ancora una volta, i capi del Negeri Sembilan si recarono a Minangkabau alla ricerca di un successore. Il raja di Pagar Ruyung mandò suo figlio, raja Lenggang. Egli sposò la seconda figlia di raja Hitam, Tengku Ngah. Ebbero due figli: Tengku Radin e Tengku Imam.

Prima di morire nel 1824, raja Lenggang disse che era suo desiderio che a succedergli fosse Tengku Radin. Questa volta, gli undangs non si imbarcarono per incontrare il raja di Pagar Ruyong. Così, per la prima volta nella sua storia, Negeri Sembilan ebbe un sovrano ereditario.

Yam Tuan Radin governò per trent'anni prima di morire. Gli succedette suo fratello Imam che governò per otto anni.

Quando morì, il paese era immerso nell'incertezza in quanto sia il figlio di Yam Tuan Radin, Tengku Antah, che il figlio di Imam, Tengku Ahmad Tunggal, reclamavano la corona.

Gli undangs non accettarono Tengku Ahmad Tunggal e così Tengku Antah divenne sovrano e regnò fino al 1888. Gli succedette il figlio, Tuanku Muhammad che regnò fino alla sua morte, avvenuta nel 1933.

Dopo di lui regnò Tuanku Abdul Rahman che nel 1957 divenne il primo Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

Il figlio di quest'ultimo, Tuanku Munawir, salì al trono nel 1960 e governò fino al 1967. Quando morì a succedergli fu suo fratello, Tuanku Ja'afar Tuanku Abdul Rahman. Quest'ultimo fu anche il decimo Yang di-Pertuan Agong di Malaysia. Durante questo periodo, il paese era governato dal reggente Tunku Laxamana Tunku Naquiyuddin. Alla sua morte, nel 2008, gli undangs chiamarono a succedergli suo nipote Tuanku Muhriz a cui era stato negato il trono al momento della morte del padre ufficialmente per la giovane età.

Lynn:One of the most frequent questions we get is: Is the UK mix a binary explosive?
Lynn:So with this UK liquid explosive, would the men be mixing the components at the airport or on the plane?
Lynn:How did explosives testing play a part in creating the 3-1-1 rule?
Lynn:Is there anything else coming out of the UK trial that you find interesting or important to note?
Lynn:Many say that the liquid threat is not scientifically possible. What do you have to say about that?
Well I have to say that I'm pleased to see at least what appears to be an attempt to answer one of the very serious questions that we have been putting to you for quite a while. Thank you Lynn for getting this to us. It's not quite what I've been after, but it's definitely a first step in the right direction.
Of course more specifics are in order here. You include snippets of an interview with Ed Kittel, your Explosives Ops Division Head, who states in talking about the kinds of explosives testing the TSA did, "Understandably, I cannot comment on the specifics of intelligence, formulations or the testing, nor would you want me to." In point of fact, I would like more detail. No, I don't want to know how to make a bomb, but I would at very least like to know which explosives they tested (it's not like it is particularly difficult to learn to make explosives off of the internet -- there is no reason to keep the names secret, even if you don't give us specifics about quantities or concentrations). Did the TSA have to deliver these results to any kind of Congressional oversight committee for action, and if so, which one? Were the hearings public? If the hearings weren't public, who were the members of the committee that we might contact them if we desire to find out at least where they stand on the issue? To make statements such as the one Mr. Kittel made simply reinforces the perception of the TSA saying "Trust us," which, as you well know, so many of us don't.
Ed said a couple of other things though that I thought were were very worth mentioning here and that I'd very much like to see more information on. For example, he said, "We also consulted with a number of our international partners to harmonize 3-1-1 countermeasures across the European Union and North America. TSA didn't go this alone. In fact, this is the first time that the flying public has had the exact same security measures consistently applied across most of the world's airports. It's a model that we want to follow in the future." In what forum did this consultation take place? We know from the Duty Free discussion of a couple of weeks ago that true standardization is a myth and anecdotally we know that enforcement of 3-1-1 or equivalent standards varies from country to country. I personally would support the US participating in an international effort to standardize certain aspects of airport security. We have a lot to learn from how other countries handle their security issues -- even if we don't or can't adopt every good idea here.
Ed piqued my interest with this statement, "Remember, the liquids, gels, and aerosols ban is all about the container and its ability to hold an explosive; it's not about the original contents. Sometimes, people may not understand that and they become frustrated by the protocol as a result." When I first read the statement I said to myself that the TSA had finally said something that made sense -- and to a point it really does make sense. Just because a bottle says shampoo does not mean that it contains shampoo. However I also remember reading some time back that a TSO very adamantly stated that he could tell the difference on an xray between say shaving cream and plastic explosives packed in a shaving cream can. So if the person behind the X-ray machine is so well-trained as to be able to tell what's in the stuff in my little baggie, what does it really matter what the size of the containers is? And if there is some concern as to what's in the containers you can always ask. And in the case where the TSO misses the stuff in the bag altogether, the point is moot because it would have got through the checkpoint either way.
So, if this story is correct, the liquid explosives were going to be premixed. And these very dangerous materials would be hidden in drink bottles.
And yet you still dispose of these potentially very dangerous items in bins in the checkpoints.
It's either hazardous material or it isn't. Which is it?
I was saddened as I read this entry.
This is a good attempt to address, in more detail, an issue that has constantly been the subject of comments on this blog. But that didn't make me sad.
You actually gave direct quotes from your expert this time and gave us a little of his background, which adds to his credibility. But that didn't make me sad.
There is nothing in this entry that couldn't, and shouldn't, have been posted much earlier. There was legitimate reason to wait for testimony in the London trial before posting this information. But that didn't make me sad.
What saddens me is that I've come to the realization that I don't believe anything you say. TSA's credibility has been so badly tarnished by the actions of its own management and employees that I just trust you. I don't like being distrustful of my own government, but if TSA put out a press release saying the sun would rise in the east tomorrow, I'd want visual proof to believe it. What a sad state of affairs!
Once upon a time there was a King who was afraid someone would attack his castle. He gathered together the best minds in the land--the Transylvanian Society of Academics, or TSA, to help him secure his castle. The TSA had heard about a group of terrifying adversaries who once swam across a moat and attacked a castle. The TSA were horrified that such a thing might happen to the King, so they helped him develop a very expensive plan that widened to moat (to make it harder to swim across), filled it with acid, and just for good measure installed crocodiles in acid-proof wetsuits. The project was very expensive, and entailed a good deal of effort (since the crocodiles needed constant attention), but everyone felt it was worth it to protect the castle against the scourge of swimming invaders.
The TSA realized that everything the little boy said was true. But the TSA realized that the skills needed to acid-proof crocodiles weren't of much use elsewhere in the kingdom, and they knew they had a good thing going and didn't want to ruin it. So the tossed the boy into the deepest dungeon and then redecorated the drawbridge with pretty lights and calming music, and then raised the Kingdom's Orange Threat Flag above the battlements, and in this way the populace's attention was diverted and everyone forgot about the little boy. The end.
"Remember, the liquids, gels, and aerosols ban is all about the container and its ability to hold an explosive; it's not about the original contents. Sometimes, people may not understand that and they become frustrated by the protocol as a result."
First off I would like to say Kudos to the TSA and especially Ed Kittel for his explanations. Now we know some of the reasons behind the 3-1-1 science. I am of the belief that some information still needs to be witheld for security reasons, not just because we really don't need it, and not just because the bad guys (islamofacist terrorist) want to kill us, and not because I'm not naive enough to believe that said bad guys are most likely reading this blog as much as some (winstonsmith, trollkiller, etc.), but I am of the belief that we shouldn't let them know what all of our strategies are in relation to disrupting thier plots.
Trust Us, We're the Government, really doesn't sit well with appeasers, anti-government, libertarian (small l) types but thats okay with me. I believe in the Constitution that gives them that right and I can respectfully disagree with them and still speak with them and have a open and honest dialog.
What saddens me - is people who distrust the government because someone else with similar beliefs send so, group mentallity types who go with the flow instead of opening their hearts and minds and believing in our own goverment that truly does want to protect us from evil. This saddens me.
And to all the naysayers that harp about all of the abandoned liquids that are sitting in unprotected trash bins waiting for the end of the world, NOT, Any person with some brain cells knows what the TSA knows, that they are all just liquids that passengers thought they could beat the system and take their 16 oz. shampoo with them, but even if they were in fact a liquid explosive that was discovered by the TSA, without the rest of the components needed to make them go boom, they are just another liquid that did not make it onto the airplane. Which is what we want isn't it?
Your organization continues to disappoint and show how very little (if any) credibility you have.
All of this 'data' shows that you need to lift your stupid inane liquid ban. This stuff is so unstable they would be lucky to get it into the airport, let alone a plane. Your ignorant 3-1-1 policy still allows multiple people working together to bypass the limits.
Items sold by airside vendors are also not limited, only x-rayed which would not detect the types of explosive liquids you are looking for. Yet another entry point.
TSA, give it up. Stop the fear mongering. We are really sick and tired of it. Do something - one thing - that proves you are not a bunch of bumbling fools. Show us you aren't. Salvage that one tiny bit of credibility you have left.
A link to a scientific study, even a censored one, would help me to swallow the whole "drink bottles = death in the skies" thing. Please no more videos!
Also, when are you going to answer the repeated questions about these deadly beverages being tossed in containers in public areas? Are these hazmat or aren't they?
Saying "it's about the bottle and not the contents" is an obvious lie. Empty bottles are allowed on board!
Personally TSA has not demonstrated why I should just trust their word on the liquid threat and their response to it.
Until you engage an independent group top test the feasibility of the liquid plot I and others, won't believe you.
Nothing is secure until the entire airport is secure.
Hasn't the liquid bomb threat already been discounted completely by scientists, or am I mistaken in this belief.?
For Winston, they did say what kind of explosives they were. In The Snip of a BBC article.
"Hydrogen peroxide and the other ingredients can become explosive if mixed to a specific strength. Mr Wright said hydrogen peroxide had been used in "previous terrorist incidents".
The mixture would be injected into a bottle with the help of a syringe. The bottle's cap would not have been removed and the hole would have been resealed, said Mr Wright."
And he also said what would detonate them.
"A second substance, a type of high explosive, would be hidden within an AA battery to form the small charge required to detonate the main bomb."
Mr. Kittel also gives an example of liquid attacks.
"We have also seen liquid explosives attacks before. For example, on November 29, 1987, Korean Airlines Flight 858 exploded over the Andaman Sea killing all 115 on board. North Korean agents conducted that attack using a liquid explosive concealed in a duty free whisky bottle. That attack used a different homemade liquid explosive but there are quite a few of them out there that are very powerful explosives."
So there must be a way to make it stable enough to get on an airplane or it wouldn't have made it that far.
Another thing, google Gun Cotton for me and let me know what ya think?
The author of this story really shouldn't be anonymous.
Thanks for your question, Ken.
The UK law enforcement authorities kept a tight lid on the details of the liquid explosive, and much of the information on the mixture is only becoming public because of the trial. Back when the plot was first busted, some speculated on what the explosive mixture was and how effective it might have been, but I doubt they had the specifics on the mixture. The U.S. and international labs that did test the UK mixture found it to be a viable explosive that could do significant damage to an airplane.
"All of this 'data' shows that you need to lift your stupid inane liquid ban. This stuff is so unstable they would be lucky to get it into the airport, let alone a plane. Your ignorant 3-1-1 policy still allows multiple people working together to bypass the limits."
How do you know if this stuff is unstable are not? I wold like to see links to your credentials, or maybe a scan of your "Certificate to Determine Stable and Unstable Explosives"
3-1-1 rule, it shows that all they are slow to give out info they will give it out. Now if the GOV can get my Stimulating Check to me, now thats been slow to get.
Actually the TSA's Ed Kittel did not say what explosives that the TSA tested. He suggested that we would not want him to divulge that kind of information. I take issue with that.
I did, however, see the article to which you referred and I did look up the substances to which it made reference. Interesting stuff. Leaves me with a bunch more questions but I'll leave those for another post. Gun cotton is not relevant here as we're talking about liquids, but for curiosity's sake, I'll have a look later when I have a little extra time.
1. most plastics cannot contain the liquids that are typically used in explosives (which is chemisty lab equipment is glass).
2. the SIZE of the container is extrememly important: kept to the current size limits one person would not be able to bring enough material aboard to cause an catastrophic event. A very unpleasant one to be sure, but unless very very lucky in placement, not a big enough one to bring down a modern airliner.
This makes it all clear: my chunk of squishy brie should fly because it isn't in a container.
Once again, is is 3 ounces or 100ml? And why cant your screeners be consistent about it?
I'm curious as to why you - for all intents and purposes - jumped the gun and linked to an article posting the allegations against the London defendants. Why not wait until the case is fully adjudicated?
While you list the allegations, will you be posting the refutation by the defense and posting the words of any expert brought in to dispute that the items in question could be used as a bomb?
Additionally, if the jury finds the defendants not guilty, then what?
For those who think it's fine to throw away components of explosives because simply removing one part of the equation is acceptable, I wish to point out that if this is true, and terrorist plots are regularly foiled by the security-side trash can, there is absolutely no tracking regarding what type of liquids passengers are attempting to carry onto planes. So if 15 terrorists in a row are forced to toss their 16 ounce Aquafina bottles full of explosives, the explosives just go into the trash and no one is the wiser. All those alleged terrorist plots unable to be carried out, and the terrorists are allowed to just toss the bottle and get on the plane, to go back home and discuss how the all-powerful TSA stopped them in their tracks, and how better to do it next time?
So TSA has no clue how many people have tried to carry explosives on, or whether anyone has, or whether such people are just testing the limits of security for future plots, or if they really want to blow up an airplane, or if every single bottle and container that has been tossed over the last three years really was just full of harmless toiletries, or anything, really. So, basically, TSA has no idea what the level of threat is and/or whether the tossing away of liquids does any good at all. The TSA knows nothing and does nothing to make us safer or make traveling anything but an extraordinary inconvenience and a hassle, not to mention an invasion of privacy.
I call total and absolute horse puckey here. An entire plane exploded and agents were able to conclude that a particular whisky bottle was the source of the explosive? Come ON. I don't believe that for a second. Perhaps the agents postulated that a bottle MAY have been used to carry explosive onto a plane, but there is no way they could have conclusively determined such a thing. This type of statement is why airport security has zero credibility.
As usual, the TSA, with the help of British prosecutors, are participating in a healthy dose of what we in the cloak & dagger business call "perception management." Well done. You have certainly convinced most of the occasionally or never-flying public on both sides of the Atlantic.
The test was hardly performed under realistic conditions. For starters, how about performing it under actual conditions? No, you don't have to actually fly a plane. Go out to the Boneyard at Davis Monthan AFB and pick out a mothballed aircraft that has an actual airliner lavatory.
Pressurize the cabin to cruising altitude (easily done, by the way) and then send one of your experimenters into the lav and try to mix chemicals in the appropriate mixture and quantity to blow a hole in the side of the mothballed fuselage. Too dangerous, you say? There's a reason: It was too dangerous for the amateur hijackers for Pete's sake!
You can do anything you want under ideal laboratory conditions. Under realistic conditions, this just won't work.
If you took this seriously, you would treat all confiscated liquids (oops -- "surrendered") at checkpoints to be hazmats. But, it plays to the fear of the public to see garbage cans full of "surrendered" liquids.
A lot of us who vote think this is pretty pathetic.
I don't have the technical training or expertise to know if the interview was truthful or not.
What I would like to see TSA do is to do an interview with an industry expert with an opposing view to balance the information.
How about it TSA? Give a platform to a desenting expert.
bingo. Just like most other things, I find it likely this article has little purpose other than helping convict these guys. This information was extremely secret and totally verboten from discussion...until they went on trial.
And to continue with the easiest (of many) Criticisms, what would stop a terrorist from trying to bring through a bottle big enough to do some serious damage, when it gets thrown out and is detonated. Or we could just bring up the fact that the checkpoints themselves are huge bottlenecks, just the type of place for a suicide bomber.
I still don't get it. What does 3-1-1 prevent?
Someone can still bring 500 mL of liquid in a freedom baggy (in five 100 mL bottles). They can still get a larger container once they're through the security checkpoint, by buying a beverage in the terminal. They can empty their five containers into one container in the restroom, and then board the plane.
3-1-1 clearly isn't enough. I call Security Theater!
I'm also curious why my last two comments were never published. I believe they have been 100% compliant with the published comment policy.
Funny that you had to goto Fox News, the GOP goto network for Iraq/Iran lying, in order to find someone that would ask the questions that were either pre-scripted or paraphrased to them ahead of time, that doesn't read at all like the questions any slightly intelligent reporter would ask to ferret out the truth.
Here is something more explosive than Tang and hydrogen peroxide.
The nation's 75,000 airline pilots could avoid being screened for weapons before they board airplanes if a test starting shortly succeeds.
But critics including flight attendants fear that an armed terrorist posing as a pilot could get on an airplane if pilots don't have to walk through metal detectors and have their bags scanned by X-ray machines.
I have been sitting here trying to come up with a coherent sentence, but I am so flabbergasted at this asinine move I almost don't know what to say.
The TSA wants to screen passengers with a device that allows them to see through clothing, but won't even do a simple x-ray of a pilot's bag? Won't have them walk through the metal detector? Is going to rely on a single layer of security after blowing their horn about the 20 layers?
This bullsh--- I mean program is in response to the tears of the pilot's union.
"Pilots' unions have been lobbying to skip airport screening, which they call unnecessary and "demoralizing."
The Air Line Pilots Association notes that pilots face extensive background tests, and that pilots wanting to do harm with an airplane would hardly need a weapon because they control airplanes.
Airport screening "has just worn on them," said Pete Janhunen, spokesman for the Air Line Pilots Association, the largest pilots' union.
"You trust them to fly a multimillion dollar airplane, and yet a TSA inspector with little training, little experience has the ability to strip-search them for gels."
Boo F-in Hoo. We trust the pilots to stay calm and logical in an emergency situation but the thought of being screened is demoralizing and upsetting?
"Oh, but Trollkiller we trust them to fly multi-million dollar airplanes"
Why yes, yes we do trust them to fly expensive planes and we expect them to do it sober, but as you know pilots break that trust on a frequent basis.
"Oh, but Trollkiller if they wanted to kill everyone on the plane all they have to do is fly into the ground."
That makes sense on the surface until you recall that commercial passenger jets have 2 or more people in the cockpit capable of piloting the plane.
If you have a rouge pilot bent on destruction the possibility of failure is high if the plane is his only weapon. The rouge pilot would have to disable the other pilot(s) first in order to succeed. Now he can have his choice of weapons to do that.
Flash an ID and breeze right on by with bomb in tow. Let's not even be that dramatic, how about a gun, knife or a little coke for those long hours of hitting on the stewardess. If this doesn't sound like the makings of Penthouse letter, nothing does.
I think the worse part about this new program is the fact the idea did not spring from a drunken TSA office party but from the willingness to appease unions.
If we are going to have security, let's have real security. No more steel doors on grass huts. Screen everything and everybody. No Exceptions, No Exemptions.
Regarding the 3.1.1 management process: What happens when the first security 'haz-mat dump' turns into bonfire or worse? Every OSHA course I have been through is rather pendantic about reiterating that anything that possibly could be hazmat must be treated like hazmat.
Regarding Ed Kittel: It takes a brave man to do what he does. It is not easy to explain things most people cannot comprehend to people who don't want to understand. His job must be as entertaining as n-glyc being dripped on hot steel.
Regarding those digital X-ray machines: When was the last time the material signature databases were updated? The TSA did buy the license for the electron-backscatter spectroscopy analysis option, didn't they?
"Kips Khemistry lesson of the day: I say whoosh, not boom. Boom is a high explosive detonation initiated by a detonator. A real high velocity explosion. Concentrated peroxide solutions are unstable. Mixing these things must be done in an ice bath, as they self heat up, which is why the idea of a Jr. Jihadist taking ten pounds of ice into air airplane lav to cool his TATP reaction without being noticed is highly unlikely. If a solution is touched by a catalyst, it instantly can start decomposing and heating up internally. This is a chemical reaction, not a detonation. In a couple of seconds the entire bottle contents heat up to beyond boiling and the bottle ruptures from the pressure. Think of opening the lid of a pressure cooker under pressure. (do not try at home) A layman calls it an "explosion", as it makes a big ball of expanding gas and liquid that sprays all over. (My opinion: The English "explosion" video looks like this. If you want to make a similar looking "explosion", take a gallon milk jug full of water and shoot it with a rifle.) This WHOOSH will probably knock the lav door open, and the Jihad chemist and anyone within ten feet will be soaked with boiling peroxide. Nasty. Think about pouring boiling clorox over yourself. But this is NOT a detonation explosion and is not going to blow a hole in the side of the plane. It is called a BLEVE, a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion, which can be quite powerful but no where near the power of the same liquid set off by a blasting cap for a true detonation.
However, this is not what the public has been told since the War on Water was declared. The original PR was that the Evil Ones were going to sneak two or more components through security and then mix them.
Quote: "A question raised many times on this blog is how can TSA justify throwing all of these liquids away in a trash can near the checkpoint if they are such a danger. While a fair question, the answer has been available in many different threads though not directly answered, so here it goes.
That's why it is safe for us to store the items together in a trash can near the checkpoint and that's what we do with prohibited items."
Who said that? Nico Blogger of the TSA .
Bee Ess. I would not want to work a shift standing next to a trash can holding a liter bottle of 80% hydrogen peroxide. With or without Tang, concentrated peroxide is not a harmless item. Shock can cause it to BLEVE. Like the shock of dropping a bottle of water on it while it "harmlessly" rests in the trash can. Mixing with alcohol can cause it to go off. Hope that confiscated booze and perfume and the peroxide bottle don't leak while in the trash can as they get pounded by confiscated toothpaste. And EPA for sure calls it HAZMAT and it is a federal crime to throw it in the nearest dumpster.
And while on the Kips Khemistry debunking, the TSA blog talks about the "Bojinka Plot". This was using premade nitroglycerine, which the ETD should detect.
He talks about Korean Air Flight 858 and claims it was causd by "a liquid explosive concealed in a duty free whisky bottle." Another misleading partial truth. Wiki says it was "a liquor bottle containing approximately 700 ml of PLX explosive in an overhead rack in the passenger cabin of the aircraft." PLX is 95% nitromethane, which the ETD will detect. TSA Ed Kittle left off one LITTLE fact: What set off the PLX? A timer and detonator in a radio next to the whisky bottle. Minor little detail: the radio just happened to contain "350 grams of C-4." Kips Khemist Kittle tells the Kettles Korean 858 was kroaked by a "liquid explosive" and does not understand why some of us do not believe any of the other lies that come out of his mouth."
"So, basically, TSA has no idea what the level of threat is and/or whether the tossing away of liquids does any good at all. The TSA knows nothing and does nothing to make us safer or make traveling anything but an extraordinary inconvenience and a hassle, not to mention an invasion of privacy."
For some reason 210,000 private planes and 550,000 pilots are not a threat. 90,000 miles of border, mostly unprotected. Can't tell the difference between water and high explosive, so lets throw them both into the same trash bin. Should I feel safe?
The liquids ban is ridiculous. Does anyone really think they're safer because of it? In reality, everyone is just more inconvenienced.
Off-topic (sorry ...) I can't read Page 2 of Gripes-And-Grins ... clicking on the "newer" link at the bottom of the page just sends me back to the original page. Blog team ... help?
I am a Chemistry professor, and see a lot of stuff written here that is very simply wrong. I can tell you that any explosion produced from peroxides would have to start with a very concentrated peroxide solution. Very concentrated peroxide solutions can be stored in plastics (not only in glass). In fact, certain caustic chemicals such as strong bases eat through glass but not plastic. Very concentrated peroxides are explosive in any quantity, and even 100 mLs can do quite a bit of damage. On the other hand, very concentrated peroxides can be easily detected by "puffers" and surface contaminant detection techniques, because they will leave substantial amounts of peroxide in the materials around the flasks that contain them.
So the solution is simple: use trace chemical technology, and end the mad bag inspection.
How about just forbidding hydrogen peroxide on a plane? That idea doesn't take a genius to discern. "Hey, if hydrogen peroxide and Tang can cause the problem, let's just not let people bring those things on a plane?" I'm pretty sure a test could be developed for such simple substances. One of TSA's super cute puppies could be trained to sniff Tang and peroxide. That takes care of the whole problem and people won't have to throw out water and shampoo anymore. Come on, TSA, stop feeding us these stupid "see how credible we are with our 'scientific' explanations" and use some common sense.
Come on now trollkiller, stay on topic this post is about the fact that the liquid explosives were indeed real.
Typical, where is winstonsmith to right on your coat tails.
"the airplane's departure from normal cruise flight and subsequent impact with the Atlantic Ocean as a result of the relief first officer's flight control inputs. The reason for the relief first officer's actions was not determined."
Hello, I would like to post a comment about my wife's experience today with the TSA in the San Jose, CA airport (SJC). While she was going through the security checkpoint, all of a sudden everyone in the area including my wife couldn't breath and their eyes started watering, and their noses and throats started burning. People were covering their noses and mouths with their hands and looking around wildy trying to figure out what was going on.
My wife said it was a very frightening experience. Unfortunately, TSA agents did not react appropriately to the situation and were completely discombobulated by what was going on. TSA agents provided absolutely zero guidance as to what people were supposed to be doing. Finally, after about 4 minutes of people standing around in a daze wondering what the heck was going on, a TSA agent instructed passengers to evacuate the area. He did not tell people where to go or what to do, or offer any sort of explanation as to what just happened. My wife happened to hear one female TSA agent scolding another male TSA, asking him "What made you think pushing the button would be a good idea?" while she holding a cannister of some sort. I am almost positive the TSA agent accidentally set off a canister of pepper spray or mace. Its understandable that people make mistakes and I hope that the individual TSA agent who screwed up does not get fired, because that is not what upste my wife.
However, I would hope that the rest of the TSA agents would be better able to deal with a semi-emergency situation like the one my wife experienced today.
The lack of guidance is the most troubling aspect of what happened today. Hopefully the TSA agents had some sort of meeting afterwards to go over what could have been done differently next time this happens.
Anyways, I think its nice that you guys have this blog set up for feedback. Hopefully word of this incident gets back to someone in the TSA and they do more training to deal with situations like this.
Of course, the TSA EOD chief conveniently omits the inconvenient fact that KAL 858 was brought down by a combination of nearly a half-kilo of C4, in addition to the 700ml of PLX in a whiskey bottle, a liquid explosive which is liable to go off if you so much as blink rapidly.
Essentially, with proper investment in technology and a modicum of training, the 'threat' posed by liquid explosives and 'shoe bombs' would be easily and much more effectively stopped, with the added benefit of preventing firearms from passing through security. If the security staff at the Tower of London can swab every bag that enters the grounds, why can't similar trace detection gear be employed to end this ridiculous song and dance?
What in the world are you talking about (how exactly does one "right" on coat tails anyway)?
I saw TK's post and read it with great interest (BTW TK, the link you posted does not work, but I would like to check out the article).
If what he says is true then there is the potential for a real problem to be brewing, one that poses a far more serious risk to the flying public than liquid bombs that may or may not work (contrary to your assertion, nothing has really been proven here; we have been shown a demonstration that under the proper conditions these explosives could have worked from a source that is not entirely unassailable).
Typical? You may want to go back and read all my posts. I brought up the nitroglycerin attack. I know liquid explosives are dangerous, that is why you won't be able to find a post with me arguing against liquid explosives.
I think the closest I got to a post that might suggest I did not believe that liquids were dangerous is one that I challenged the TSA to release some info on the BINARY explosives. As we found out this was NOT a binary liquid explosive.
Feel free to hunt my posts down that show I don't feel liquid explosives are real, Oh, and put the link here. I am betting you won't and you will give the lame excuse that you don't have the time or no excuse at all and continue to hide behind an anonymous handle.
If you are going to call me out at least know what you are talking about.
How about this for being on topic. A pilot decides to end his life in a manner that will guarantee his family gets the life insurance policy. He knows that he won't be screened so he goes on the internet and finds out how to make a bomb. He assembles the bomb at home and carries it past the no screen ID check, climbs gets on the plane, takes off and when he reaches altitude blows the front end off the plane.
On topic enough for you? Do you know it does not take a lot of skills or smarts to make an explosive device? I had friends growing up that would blow stuff up for fun. Trust me these guys were NOT rocket scientists, hell they were not even capable of passing chemistry. To build a bomb all you have to do is follow the instructions, if you can make a cake you can make an explosive.
Now the argument against the 3-1-1 rule by most people on this blog has been this; if the liquids are SO dangerous, why are they being treated as trash instead of hazardous material?
They answer is simple and one that Kip himself said, "if it goes in the trash the TSO did not deem you a threat"
My question is this, if I am not deemed a threat, why take the liquid? If the liquid is a threat why does it go in the trash instead of a bomb proof container?
The answer is simple, the TSA does not see liquids as a threat anymore. They figure if they limit the size to what the "experts" say would not be enough to down a plane then the terrorists won't try the liquid plot because they may be caught when their bomb is confiscated for being over three ounces.
Of course it would only take a few people working together to combine the contents of their bags to bring the volume to a workable amount, but the TSA is hoping that BDO will spot the terrorist group before they board.
You know you really did tweak my nerve with that comment. Nothing I hate worse than someone taking a potshot at me by changing what I have said or tries to portray me as taking a side of an issue I am not on.
Oh and one more thing before I go, THIS is what happens when the TSA does not take the disposal of potentially hazardous material, seriously.
Maybe OSHA would be interested in how all the collected contraband is stored in collection bins. Are MSDS required? How can you be 100% positive what the contents of each disposed item is? You really don't know. Just maybe you are putting the public at more risk than protecting us. The whole security theater is just that, smoke and mirrors.
Maybe we can avoid 3-1-1, MMW and the new badges by just driving in the back door. ...or as another poster put it; its all secutiry theater until the whole airport is secure.
Big van drives right into airport.
Well professor I believe you are correct. I think the peroxide is + 70% and that TSA has added test strips for high concentrate peroxide as well as their FIDO unit to "sniff". However, it takes a hell of a lot of time to sample every liquid and I don't think the traveling world will stand for that kind of line waits. As for the sampling using surface contamination - the current explosive trace detectors used by TSA and most others do not detect peroxide based explosives.
Liquid explosives are indeed an all too real threat, but maybe it takes a plane bombing to show some sceptics that giving up your water bottle before boarding as plane is a small price for saving human lives.
"Oh and one more thing before I go, THIS is what happens when the TSA does not take the disposal of potentially hazardous material, seriously."
Nice point, I wonder how much time was spent training for this moment.
All I was saying is that you try to change the subject. The subject at hand was liquid explosives and you tried to change it to the pilot ID. Suggest a new thred to the bloggers is all I was saying.
And now you want to switch topics again with the pepper spray incident. Shame shame shame.
I suppose that you have never had an accident of any kind in your life, as I'm sure that the pepper spray incident was indeed an accident. Are you perfect? Tweak!!!!!
And yes, I will hide behind the anonymous moniker because it is my right, guarantee by the constitution. Tweak!!!!!
"I will hide behind the anonymous moniker because it is my right, guarantee by the constitution."
Which article or amendment covers that?
I tweaked you, good. "

As for the sampling using surface contamination - the current explosive trace detectors used by TSA and most others do not detect peroxide based explosives."
Sniffers take just about as much time as X-rays, and much less than having all passengers remove liquids and shoes. But that is not even the point. The point is why limit liquids if even very small, allowed, quantities can do damage? A major inconvenience to all, with no effective result!
All you were saying, and I quote "That's right when proven wrong, quick when no one is looking change the subject.....". In other words what you were saying was a lie. I was not proven wrong because I did not disagree with liquid explosive viability.
Yes, shame on me for not waiting until the TSA has its talking points up to speed. Shame on me for not waiting until the TSA decided to bring it up.
Not perfect, but damn close. I have never had an accident when dealing with dangerous chemicals because I am CAREFUL. I know better than to toss an aerosol type device with a push button trigger into a bin where the button can be engaged. You trust someone that can't handle a simple spray can to dispose of potentially explosive articles?
Yes you can hide behind an anonymous moniker, that is your right. In fact a court in California confirmed it. Of course in that case they held up the use of a pseudonym as a means of insuring anonymity. I guess they figured intelligent people could make up a name, so that others can identify them among the sea of posters, without revealing their real name. I suppose they were a bit off in your case.
Now, I am going to back up a bit to what you wrote a little higher up. You said I should suggest a new thread to the blog team instead of changing the subject. As I don't see a mechanism for suggesting a new thread, and the fact that the history of this blog shows if you want something answered you need to make post pertaining to the question, I asked the question.
"Off-topic comments (and since we can't tell which topic a comment goes under when we moderate, we mean REALLY off topic, think plagues of locust off topic…)"
My post dealt with security and hazardous materials, clearly it was on topic by the stated rules.

Vintage TV: Beany and Cecil
11 March 2015 Jim Greyanimation, cartoons, Chicago, memories, television, TV 6 Comments
Have you ever had a childhood memory so dim and sparse that you wondered if you had dreamed it? I've had a few. Sometimes I'll encounter something that cracks such a memory open.
Here's one. In college thirty years ago, I built a collection of Paul McCartney vinyl. One day I bought a 45 of the song Another Day, a song I didn't think I knew. But when I played the record I was suddenly three years old, at breakfast in my mother's kitchen. I could see everything clearly. The kitchen table was covered in dark simulated woodgrain laminate with a brown plastic edge and brown steel tubes for legs. My high-backed chair was covered in vinyl with a loud green floral pattern. The fridge stood in the corner, its long chrome door handle like a giant upside-down T. A white plastic table radio sat atop the fridge, tuned to an AM station that played this song every morning while it was a hit. Transported, I played the song over and over that college afternoon, enjoying the remembered connection.
While Another Day had slipped entirely from memory, a particular cartoon sea serpent had not, at least not entirely. I clearly remembered the main character's lisp: Theethil the Thee-Thick Thea Therpent. So I was excited to find this clip of the show's open on YouTube the other day:
My brother was over the other day and I showed this to him. "Of course I remember it," he said. "You wouldn't quit saying 'Nyah-ah-ahh' over and over again! You did it for years! I wanted to pummel you!" I felt my brain pop with the recalled memory. It was the villain Dishonest John's signature laugh! I adopted it as my own until I was 9 or 10! How could I forget? Here's an entire Beany and Cecil cartoon with plenty of Dishonest John nyah-ah-ahhing:
Beany and Cecil were created by Bob Clampett, who animated the craziest Warner Brothers cartoons. (Side trip: On his blog, John Kricfalusi, creator of the cartoon Ren and Stimpy, deconstructs several of Clampett's WB cartoons and reveals the man's genius. See those posts here.) Clampett first created Beany and Cecil as puppets, Cecil just a sock with eyes glued on. In 1949, these puppets became a huge hit on TV in Los Angeles. Albert Einstein is said to have been a fan. In 1959, Clampett animated these characters for theatrical cartoons in foreign markets. In 1962, ABC started running the cartoons in prime time and got Clampett to make more of them. The cartoons ran on ABC until 1967 and in syndication through the early 1970s.
I learned recently from the FuzzyMemories forum that the BJ and the Dirty Dragon Show on WFLD in Chicago showed Beany and Cecil cartoons, and that's where I must have watched them. The Dirty Dragon finished his run on WFLD in July, 1973, which was about six months after we got cable and could have seen the show. Moreover, it was on at noon, meaning we could watch only during the summer. So after watching Beany and Cecil cartoons for maybe four weeks that summer, I then annoyed my brother for four years repeating Dishonest John's laugh.
Righteous.
Vintage TV: 1950s animated commercials
29 March 2012 Jim Greyanimation, cartoons, commercials, television, TV 17 Comments
My mom's parents always had the latest gadgets and electronics, so it was typical of them that they bought their first television in 1949. South Bend, where Mom grew up, didn't have its own TV stations yet, so Grandpa put up a big antenna and they watched Chicago stations. They had the only television in their neighborhood for quite some time, and all the neighborhood kids wanted to visit to watch whatever shows were on. TV was so new that every show seemed like an event.
1949 television was very primitive. Most stations were on the air only a few hours a day, and most shows and commercials were live. But television grew up fast during the 1950s and by the end of the decade it had fully taken shape. My mom, as a little girl, had a front row seat to it all.
Mom especially enjoyed animated commercials. So many commercials in TV's early days consisted of a man in a suit holding up the product and talking about it. It made animated commercials all the more compelling to my mom as a young girl.
Sometimes the advertised products were things Mom might use, such as toothpaste.
Sometimes the advertised products were things Mom couldn't care less about, such as bank loans. No matter, she still watched.
This commercial for Winston cigarettes caused quite hubbub in its day. The prevailing wisdom then was that television should use English properly, and this commercial's slogan committed a grammatical error. Only the strictest grammarian would arch an eyebrow today, and he or she would tell you that the slogan should be "Winston tastes good as a cigarette should."
The simple line-art style of the previous two commercials was common among animated commercials in the '50s. I figure the simpler they were, the less expensive they were to produce. This spot for Maypo maple-flavored oatmeal was very popular.
Another way to keep costs down was to create short commercials, such as this one for Hellman's Mayonnaise.
There was a time when most people could sing the Black Label Beer jingle – hey, Mabel! I haven't seen this beer on store shelves since the 1970s.
Plenty of beer commercials were animated in the 1950s, including this one for Hamm's Beer. This log-rolling bear and hapless duck shilled Hamm's beer on TV into the 1970s. I remember watching a shorter, colorized version of it when I was a child.
In this age of recording shows on DVRs or watching them on the Internet, advertisers struggle to get their ads noticed. Maybe they should take a lesson from the 1950s and animate more of them.


In our last e-mail post, we offered a prediction of the 2011 NOB Ride. We are pleased to report that the actual experience was even better than the prediction! A group of focused and excited riders left the shop on time, Saturday, October 15 at 7 AM. Some riders were in short sleeves, some with light jackets. The 50 degree temperature provided those of us in short sleeves a motivation to work a bit harder to get warmed up, starting out at a fast pace to compensate for the inevitable slowing that would come later . . . when the hills appeared.
Super SAG person Lane (and SAG dog Sophie) collected the riders' change of clothes at the shop, picked up lunch sandwiches and cookies at Subway, and managed to get ahead of us about 25 miles into the ride, for our first supported stop. As the group spread out less than a couple of miles during the entire ride, Lane was able to serve us all with hydration fluids, snacks, and great motivation along the way. The Natchez Trace was beautiful this time of year, with leaves just beginning to loose their summer green. Lunch at Rocky Springs was perfect, and everyone enjoyed visiting with the touring cyclists from Colorado that we had passed a few miles up the Trace. They had a big bus, but we had the awesome white Outback (WhiteOut) and Barbara's truck! Thanks Lane, Sophie and Barbara!
With temperatures climbing to the low 80s, the wine, cheese and sausage reception was a great treat at the park after negotiating the 3000 feet of climbing, mostly in the last third of the sunny, 104 mile ride. As everyone arrived within minutes of each other, and almost an hour ahead of schedule, we relaxed a bit, showered, and took our time before heading to the restaurant. There were thousands of folks on the streets of Natchez gathered for the hot air balloon race, but we pulled in the Magnolia Grille parking lot and parked at the front door!
Our table by the window offered a great view of the river and the ballgames on the big screen. The bloodymarys and other drinks competed with the river, TV, and landing balloons for our attention. Many balloons were flying directly overhead and were landing within a few hundred feet of our table! The fellowship and food were great, and everyone agreed it was a fantastic day! The ride home was pleasant, with many deer sighted, and we arrived at the shop ahead of schedule.
The Natchez or Bust Ride is dependent on a schedule for many reasons. We appreciate the efforts of all riders and support vehicles in helping us to keep this ride an institution, and look forward to next year for another great NOB Ride! We hope you will consider joining us then! We plan to upload some pics of the event on our gallery.
Ride South . . . The Way to Ride!

New housing protections, PFAS limits included in defense policy measure
Firefighters from the 20th Civil Engineer Squadron extinguish a controlled car fire using compressed air foam at Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., on March 10, 2014. (Airman 1st Class Jensen Stidham/Air Force)
Defense officials will create a new "tenant bill of rights" for military housing residents, develop a new assessment tool for unhealthy conditions in those residences, and mostly ban the use of toxic firefighting foam tied to base groundwater contamination nationwide under a sweeping defense policy bill unveiled Monday night.
The measure, the annual defense authorization bill, is expected to be voted on by the full House on Wednesday and in the Senate early next week. The $738 billion measure includes hundreds of budget-related provisions for fiscal 2020, including a 3.1 percent pay raise for troops and reauthorization of a host of specialty pays and bonuses.
In a statement, the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate armed services committees praised the compromise bill for "positioning our Armed Forces to meet the next wave of threats outlined in the National Defense Strategy, reforming the business side of the Pentagon, and most importantly, caring for our service members and their families."
Service chiefs grilled over efforts to fix mold, vermin and other military housing woes
'When is enough enough?' senators ask the service secretaries, about the family housing problems
Karen Jowers
That latter priority includes a host of reforms to privatized military housing, which was the focus of congressional and public scrutiny after a Reuters investigation last year found widespread problems with mold, lead, vermin and unaddressed repairs at sites across the country.
Since then, military officials have promised more scrutiny of private contractors and more response to the complaints of families.
The authorization bill codifies several of those pledges. The requirement for a "tenant bill of rights" mandates each of the services "set minimum acceptable livability standards … (establish) a formal dispute resolution process, ban the use of non-disclosure agreements as a condition of moving out of military housing, and enhance protections against reprisal."
Money would be included in the fiscal 2020 budget for more housing advocates on base, and new direct hiring authority would be granted to service officials for more oversight personnel of private contractors.
In another section of the bill, lawmakers would prohibit the use of firefighting foam with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) after Oct. 1, 2024, and immediately ban all non-emergency uses of the chemicals.
The list of military sites with suspected 'forever chemicals' contamination has grown
But the Pentagon did not say where the sites are or the extent of the contamination, if any.
Patricia Kime
Researchers have found groundwater contamination on at least 175 military installations and sites nationwide in recent months, as well as 44 civilian airports used by Air National Guard units. The chemicals are linked to increased chances of cancer and other serious health effects.
The conference agreement also pushes the defense secretary work with state officials and use the Defense Environmental Remediation Account to try and clean up the contamination. Defense officials would also be required to conduct blood testing for PFAS as part of routine physicals for military firefighters.
Some lawmakers had pushed for additional PFAS limitations beyond military bases, including in civilian sites and manufacturing. But defense lawmakers ultimately removed most of those provisions in an attempt to keep the defense bill focused on military issues.

Restrictions and controls of food and consumer goods/
Counterfeit products/
Customs controls that goods entering, exiting and being transited through the country are not counterfeit goods or other products infringing on intellectual property rights or copyrights (IPR). The controls aim to protect citizens and society from products that are harmful to health and safety, and to protect society's tax revenues and the economic interests of the right holder. The controls are based on a Regulation of the European Parliament and Council concerning customs enforcement of intellectual property rights.
The regulation defines, which procedures the customs authority must follow if it during a customs control or an inspection discovers goods, which are suspected of violating intellectual property rights or infringing on copyrights, especially regarding goods that are
declared for release for free circulation, export or re-export.
entering or leaving the customs territory of the Union;
placed under a suspensive procedure, in a free zone or free warehouse.
Customs mainly controls goods for which the right holder has left an application to Customs for operation in accordance with regulation. The application is generally valid for one year, after which it can be renewed.
Customs can also, ex officio, stop products without an operation application.
Concepts related to counterfeit products
Trademark is a sign that distinguishes the goods and services manufactured or produced by a company similar goods and services of other companies.
Design right protects the appearance of the goods or part thereof. The object of the protection is always a concrete item or part thereof and is always perceived visually.
Patent is an exclusive right granted to the inventor for using the invention for professional purposes.
Pirated copy is a product involving an unlicensed copy of someone else's copyrighted product.
Counterfeit product is a product involving the unlicensed incorporation of a trademark belonging to another party or a copy of such a trademark, or a product that illicitly simulates the appearance of another product which is protected under design right.
Infringing product: A product may infringe on intellectual property rights without being a counterfeit product.
Protect your rights – submit an operation application to Customs
Submitting an operation application to Customs in accordance with regulation is free of charge. The operation application is a standardised form, where the right holder, or their authorised representative, provides Customs with information on their immaterial rights for control measures. The application can be valid in one or several Member States.
The applications can be sent to Customs
IPR applications
The Enforcement Department -Intelligence and Analysis
Commercial Risk Management
or by email to ipr.decisions(at)tulli.fi
The application form with completion instructions are available on the EU Commission's website:
Application for action
Transit – supervising trademark infringements
Regulation (EU) No 2015/2424 of the European Parliament and the Council, which came into force 23 March 2016, enables the supervision of trademark infringements in transit. Because of this regulation, customs authorities in the Member States have more opportunities to supervise IPR consignments in transit.
Products under transit, which infringe on a trademark of the European Union, can be stopped based on EU Regulation 608/2013, if the trademark is also protected in the country of destination. Therefore, references to the readmitting of the consignment into the EU territory is no longer necessary. However, it should be noted that this does not include design or patent infringements.
