ARC shutters TIP program after revelations IRS searched passenger flight records sold by carrier‑owned broker

Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) has ended its Traveler Information Program (TIP), closing a loophole that allowed U.S. agencies to search passenger flight records without court orders. The move follows reporting that a carrier‑owned broker sold roughly 5 billion ticket records and that the IRS queried hundreds of millions of entries.

Pentagon turns to quantum sensors as GPS becomes unreliable Facing widespread GPS jamming and spoofing that undermine satellite navigation, the Pentagon is investing in quantum-based positioning, navigation and timing sensors that operate without satellites or RF signals. These emerging devices aim to provide GNSS-independent PNT to withstand denial, spoofing and contested-space tactics.

Software‑defined, multi‑orbit satellites expand cyber attack surface, experts warn Experts say the move to software‑defined satellites and integrated multi‑orbit architectures significantly widens the cyber attack surface — exposing constellation management, on‑orbit reprogramming and inter‑satellite links to new vectors. Yet analysts note many current intrusions still exploit basic failures such as misconfiguration, weak encryption and supply‑chain gaps.
