Holiday Travel
Begins Amid High Security
If you're trying to make your Fourth of July last
three days or more, you're not alone.
More than 41 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from their
homes some time this week -- a new record for Independence Day travel --
despite heightened security because of failed car bombings in Britain.
Most travelers, 34.7 million in all, are expected to load up their cars
and hit the road for extended getaways. And about 4.7 million will
traipse through airports, according to the Associated Press.

Lieberman
Pushes For More Surveillance Cameras
Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), the chairman of the
Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, told
George Stephanopoulos on ABC's This Week that he wants to use
surveillance cameras "more widely" across the country.
"The Brits have got something smart going in England, and it was part of
why I believe they were able to so quickly apprehend suspects in the
terrorist acts over the weekend, and that is they have cameras all over
London and other of their major cities," Lieberman said.

Satellite
Telecommunications To Improve Security
Two companies are implementing a European Space
Agency-supported project to introduce alarm monitoring and video
surveillance via satellite to meet the increasing demand for security
systems from the government and corporate market, reports the Science
Daily.
The two companies are UK-based satellite operator Orbit Research Ltd.
and the German company MediaMobil Communication GmbH. They have
announced their intention to introduce the Satellite Alarm and
Surveillance System (SASS) to the UK market. SASS is independent of
terrestrial infrastructure and can be interfaced with standard video
surveillance systems.

"Bots" Fastest
Growing Malware Threat
Predicting that bots will be the fastest growing
malware threat of the year, Sana Security Inc., a behavioral security
software company, issued a security warning to Internet users about the
increasing danger posed by the malicious Web robots, and about the
increasing use of a new, stealthy variant based on peer-to-peer
technology that makes them even harder to detect and remove.
Already surpassing the 413 percent growth rate seen for rootkits last
year, the bot problem, in Sana's view has already become a significant
area of focus for online tech support services, credit monitoring
companies, and other organizations serving consumers.
While such malicious bots have posed a threat for many years, recent
developments have caused more urgent concern.
