  + stars: | 2023-04-25 | by ( Katie Balevic | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Criminals are using lax gun laws in the United States, specifically in Florida, to traffic guns to Haiti. A UN report found that the United States is the "principal source" for guns and munitions in Haiti. "Weapons are frequently procured through straw man purchases in US states with looser gun laws and fewer purchasing restrictions." Handguns that sell for $400 to $500 in the United States can be resold for up to $10,000 in Haiti, according to the report. Florida recently became the 26th state in the United States to legalize permitless concealed carry.

Windy weather forced a Carnival cruise ship to cancel its only planned port stop earlier this month. Passengers onboard received partial refunds and compensation for the unexpected cancellation. Passenger Kat O'Donnell told Insider the decision was disappointing. "It was the first time either one of us have ever gone out of the country," she told Insider. The Carnival Sunshine cruise ship docked in South Carolina in March 2020.

  + stars: | 2022-12-05 | by ( Tim Levin | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
US flyers now have an extra two years to get a Real ID-compliant form of identification. The US government has pushed the Real ID deadline multiple times. Once it does, air travelers 18 and older will need a Real ID-compliant driver's license or other federally approved form of identification to board domestic flights. DHS said COVID-19 slowed down the process for getting a Real ID. The Real ID Act, passed in 2005 in the wake of the September 11 attacks, established minimum security standards for driver's licenses and other forms of ID.

After all, the rate of gun-related deaths in the United States has been going up in recent years. CNN Travel keeps a periodic check on what the governments of the United States’ neighbors and closest allies tell their citizens about coming here. It also tells its citizens that “violent crime, including gun crime, rarely involves tourists, but you should take care when traveling in unfamiliar areas. In many states, it is legal for United States citizens to openly carry firearms in public. “Violent crime has targeted individuals and groups from the LGBTQIA+ community and those with diverse ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds.

☆ Elon Musks says the issue of child sexual exploitation content on Twitter is 'Priority #1'
  + stars: | 2022-11-21 | by ( Sawdah Bhaimiya | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Elon Musk tweeted that the issue of child sexual exploitation content is "priority #1" for Twitter. Bleu also said that Twitter had added a direct reporting option for child sexual exploitation on tweets with images or videos. Insider was able to verify this, and found that when reporting a tweet, users can now select the option of "child sexual exploitation" as the reason for the report. They added that potentially only "a percentage" of child sexual abuse material reported was actually being taken down by Twitter. Twitter's child sexual exploitation policy currently says that it has "zero tolerance towards any material that features or promotes child sexual exploitation, one of the most serious violations of the Twitter Rules."
☆ A nuclear attack would most likely target one of these 6 US cities — but an expert says none of them are prepared

A nuclear attack on US soil would most likely target one of six cities: New York, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Washington, DC. A nuclear attack in a large metropolitan area is one of the 15 disaster scenarios for which the US Federal Emergency Management Agency has an emergency strategy. That includes the six urban areas that Redlener thinks are the most likely targets of a nuclear attack: New York, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, DC. "Can you imagine a public official keeping buildings intact for fallout shelters when the real-estate market is so tight?" Both experts agreed that for a city to be prepared for a nuclear attack, it must acknowledge that such an attack is possible — even if the threat is remote.
