Did u hear and Say what? Ep 3226

Welcome back to Challenges of Faith Radio Program. I am Gary McKenzie. Thank you for joining.

I'd like to acknowledge God and your listeners here on Episode 3225.

Did you hear and say what? Well, top class action done it again. Recalls on Shivala Equinox EV vehicles.

I've been recalled over pedestrian alert sound system concerns.

Deva Femme recalls true sea moss jail superfood due to botulism risk.

Boatwagon recalls over 356,000 Audi vehicles due to 40 rearview cameras.

Evan flow recalls over 74,000 child seats due to recline issue.

The FDA has recalled numerous foods, cosmetics and drug products including Advil and Tylenol.

Fellow Trade Commission asked a question their staff does, can you spot a fake loan,

text scan. That means that when you receive a text message supposedly following up on a $10,000

loan application, the problem is you never apply for a loan. Before you use the call back

number in the message to find out or even reply no to cancel application, you want to make sure

that you know how to spot that fake loan text scan. Because what they do is use unexpected

text messages to catch you off guard. Maybe the text is going to say you pre-approved

for a large loan amount which isn't true. Or they say they need just security or bank account

number to finish the application which isn't true. The scammers, the criminals also hope that if it

seems like the process is already in motion, that you're replying now and maybe think about

later. They might say something like this is your last step or just reply yes to confirm you still

want to claim the loan, but none of that is true. Because there's either a fishing scan

if you respond because you might end up giving a scam or exactly what they want,

which is your personal information which could lead to you get it, identity theft.

So if you got that text and about a loan that you know you didn't apply for,

don't reply or click the links because it could lead to a scam, but go ahead and delete the

text and talk to somebody you trust. That's important. Delete unwanted text using your phone's

report, jump optional for them to 77726 spam, then go ahead and let the Federal Trade Commission know

as well. That's important. Do you know what it is? Did you hear about the tens of thousands of

gallons of bottled water that was sold across the Midwest after being recalled because of black

floating substance found inside some jugs? The recall effect of 38,043 gallons of

steam distilled water, sold in large one gallon plastic jugs with red caps.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, the effect of water was sold in Illinois,

Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin. They were sold in cases of four.

The recalled water is a store brand product sold by Meyer, a privately owned family run retailer

based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. My offer is more than 500 super-centered grocery stores,

neighborhood markets and express locations across the Midwest. What you should do is check for

the sale by date of October 4, 2026 and a lot code 39-222, number 3 on the jug.

I know you're starting to look, I know you are. Let me grab a sip of water, you know I am,

and not for Meyer. The specific brand is speaking of. Did you hear about the transportation

security administration, you know TSA, say what, is reshaping how it verifies the identities

of US air travelers, proposing a major update that merges biometric data, mobile credentials,

and government authentication platforms into one expanded framework.

Published in the Federal Register, the Notice Outline, a new form of digital identification,

the MyTSA pre-check ID, which would extend the agency's existing pre-check program into a

mobile environment, requiring more detailed data from participants. Under the plan,

travelers who want to activate the new digital ID on their phones would have to provide additional

biographic and biometric details such as fingerprints on facial imagery, along with the information

already collected for pre-check enrollment. The proposal appears alongside TSA's recently

finalized confirmed ID program, a separate fee based service designed for passengers who arrive

at checkpoints without a real ID or another approved credential. TSA is seeking approval from

the Office of Management and Budget to revise this public data collection process

with trusted traveler programs. According to the agency, the updates would align

pre-check enrollment with the modernized identity infrastructure consolidating personal and

biometric data under a more unified system. Travelers applying for a renewing pre-check would

continue to provide core information such as name, date of birth, citizenship, status,

but the new system will require further integrate fingerprints and facial data into DHS

database for continuous identity verification. TSA said these biometrics would be compared with the

FBI records through the next generation identification system with ongoing checks conducted under

FBI's route back service was long as individuals remain active in the program.

In addition, biometric data would feed into DHS's automated biometric identification system

or database that supports continuous vetting and identity confirmation of the airport security

points. Alongside the new mobile ID, TSA is introducing a customer service portal

to centralize how travelers managed their program details.

Users would log in through login.gov, the government shared authentication service to upload

documents, change preferences for opt-in and out of certain features.

The agency also detailed a cooperative arrangement with US Customs and Border Protection

that would allow pre-check data both biographic and biometric to be reused for global entry processing

if travelers choose to participate. The TSA says this would cut down on duplication across

trusted traveler programs over the next three years TSA projects. It will process data from more

than 25 million people representing roughly 4.7 million annual administrative hours

and Roman and renewal fees will stay consistent $80 for new applications $70 for online renewals

and $75 for in-person renewals. Meanwhile, the updated program, confirm ID program,

began on February 1st, it offered a passenger a way to verify their identity for 45 laws

if they reach a checkpoint without proper identification. The process could be initiated online

before arriving at the airport. TSA confirm ID will be an option for travelers that do not bring

the real ID or other acceptable form of ID to the TSA checkpoint and still want to fly. It said

Adam Stahl, the senior official performing the duties of TSA Deputy Administrator.

He added that the fee structure is meant to discourage travelers from arriving unprepared

while ensuring they can still complete their journey. While TSA presents these changes as a

modernization effort, the combination of mobile credentials, biometric retention and expanded data,

sharing signals, a gradual move toward a more centralized identity model.

Did you hear about it?

All right, closing the script for the day, it's 1810. The name of the Lord is a fortified tower,

the righteous run to it, and our safe, and our safe.
