Flight issues could linger after shutdown. And, Google's lawsuit targeting scammers

The recent government shutdown has raised concerns about lingering flight disruptions that are expected to affect travelers even after the government reopens. This situation underscores the broader implications of government operations on essential services like air travel. In a related effort to combat digital fraud, Google has launched a lawsuit targeting text message scammers, reflecting the company's commitment to protecting users from deceptive practices. These developments are interconnected, as both the shutdown and the rise in scams highlight vulnerabilities in systems that are critical to public trust and safety.
