And that’s not all. Every week, we create security and privacy stories that we haven’t covered in depth ourselves. Click on the headlines to read all the stories. And be safe out there.

The US Federal Aviation Administration said on Thursday that it is temporarily suspending flights in many important areas and operating areas in New Jersey and New York “at the request of public safety officials.” The restrictions are set to be 30 days.
