“Feds: Miami terror cell practiced with paintball”
JACKSONVILLE, FL -- A man from Jacksonville on his way to Amman, Jordan, is facing weapons charges for packing an undeclared handgun in his checked luggage. The Transportation Security Administration says traveler had a .380 caliber semi-automatic pistol wrapped in aluminum foil, with the serial numbers filed off.
"It was packaged in such a way that we felt that it was artfully concealed," said TSA Federal Security Director Ed Goodwin. TSA workers discovered the gun during a routine baggage screen around 10 a.m. The x-ray machine couldn't identify the object when it appeared on the scanners, so TSA workers had to go through the bag by hand.
Authorities brought the passenger and two family members in for questioning, according to Michael Stewart, the director of External Affairs for the Jacksonville Aviation Authority. The FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force were alerted. A short time later, authorities arrested the passenger. He faces state charges for having an unidentifiable firearm. The TSA says the man could also be charged with federal firearms charges due to the nature of the weapon's concealment.
Investigators have not released the man's identity. The TSA says he is 38-years-old, he's a resident of Jacksonville, and he holds a U.S. passport. He was scheduled to fly a United Express jet to Chicago at 11:30 a.m., and then on to Jordan. The flight left JIA on time.

Pirate radio broadcasts disrupt takeoffs from Ben-Gurion Airport
09/07/2007
Officials from the Israel Airports Authority on Monday temporarily halted takeoffs from Ben-Gurion International Airport, due to interferences with air traffic control caused by pirate radio stations. Altogether, the interference is believed to have delayed the flights of over 1,000 passengers.
After two hours the interference ceased and flights were cleared for takeoff. Authorities also delayed landings at the airport, and set a ten minute gap between each one.
This is the third time in two months that airport operations at Ben-Gurion have been halted due to pirate radio interference in the area of the ultra-Orthodox enclave of Bnei Brak. On the 6th of June, all traffic at the airport was stopped for several hours and thousands of passengers had their flights delayed. Airport workers were able to determine that the disruptions happened whenever pirate radio stations were broadcasting nearby.
The next week, a group of government ministers came together to start an initiative to combat pirate radio stations.
