Missing Cruise Passengers in Australia


There has been yet another setback for the now infamous Carnival Cruise Line. While traveling on a ten day Pacific Island cruise, a couple was discovered to be missing from the Carnival Spirit. It wasn’t discovered that they were missing until last Thursday when the ship arrived in Sydney, Australia to dock. They didn’t come to pick up their luggage. However, they were on the cruise with family and friends, who probably should have noticed that they were missing. After watching surveillance footage, it is thought that they were about halfway up the ship when they fell off supposedly near Foster, New South Wales. It is 135 miles from Foster to Sydney, but police believe that they will be able to find them.

Sentence for the Seller of Fake Bomb Detectors


            James McCormick was sentence to 10 years in prison by a London judge after he profited from selling fake bomb detectors to various agencies and companies throughout the world. It was discovered that the ADE, or Advanced Detection Equipment, that he sold was really just a golf-ball finder that had its label taken off. Although they cost McCormick less than $60 to produce each of his devices, he sold them for anything between $2,500 and $30,000 each. He has shown no remorse even though he made millions from his fraud that he used to live a luxurious lifestyle. Some devices are still in use and are threatening security throughout the world.
