In the near future, text-to-911 will be widely available in the United States, and while it has not yet arrived in Central Illinois, local police officials say they welcome the new technology.
“I think 911 texting is a good idea,” said McLean County Sheriff Jon Sandage. “It could be beneficial in domestic violence situations when the victim is afraid to make a call. It also would benefit those who are hearing impaired and do not have access to a TTY phone.” According to the Federal Communications Commission, there are about 650 dispatch centers — roughly 10 percent — nationwide that can accept text messages.

The advent of the enterprise mobile security suite has done a lot to assuage security practitioners and IT executives about the risks of mobility and bring your own device initiatives. However, the assurance EMS brings may have swung a little too far into overconfidence, according to one researcher bound for the podium at Black Hat USA in Las Vegas this year.

Transportation Security Administration misconduct is threatening the security of the flying public, according to a report released by the House Homeland Security committee.
After a six-month investigation the report on the agency shows that misconduct grew by almost 29 percent from fiscal year 2013 to 2015, according to TSA data. And while the number of misconduct allegations has increased, TSA has conducted fewer investigations into misconduct and taken fewer disciplinary actions against employees.
