Egypt is cutting off soocial media access in their country. This just show how powerful the social media tool is in our world. Could this mean a possible cut off of social media sites like facebook and twitter? If so this will damage our way of communicating to the world. This cutting off of social media could really happen in the United States.
The National Asset Act is an act designed to protect us from any cyber prohibitions. Also this protects us from any potential cyber attacks. This could be a United States kill internet switch. So, this is not just affecting Egypt and surrounding countries, this also affects the United States as well.
Here I have added a video that is describing this whole internet shutdown situation.
This internet shutdown in Egypt could be very extensive. But people want the leader of Egypt gone now.

Moscow's Airport Security An Issue?
Moscow is a city in Russia that is in some serious termoil. After, a suicide attack yesterday, Russia is looking to tighten up on airport security. A suicide bomber slithers his way into a Moscow airport waiting for passengers to arrive. This airport was Moscow's busiest and newest airport, with a bomb explosion going off and killing people.
This bombing show that it is very hard to keep security tight in busy airports, with as much travel and movement going on inside the airport. There is very little way to keep up with whose lurking to set off a bomb and kill innocent people that are traveling. The name of this airport is Domodedovo Airport. Most visitors are required to pass through medal detector devices, but one survivor of the attack said that he saw no one going through medal detectors on this horrible day.
Russia police are look for three Chechen men, which are said to be the leaders in this attack. This is just part of an ongoing war with the republic of Checnya, and the war is still not over. some questions raised are, what can Russia do to enforce stricter airport restrictions? How can these future suicide bombers be detected? This is a sreious crime that has been going on since the September 11, 2001 attacks and probably way before that. This is something that has to be stopped to prevent other attacks from happening.
