ATLANTA — The FBI and Atlanta Police Department are getting ready for a massive security operation ahead of the World Cup semifinals between England and Argentina at Atlanta Stadium.  Both agencies have used drones to search for potential threats on the ground and in the sky. The FBI is enforcing the Federal Aviation Administration's Temporary Flight Restrictions around the venue.  The FBI has confiscated more than 600 drones nationwide since the World Cup began. Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Atlanta Field Office Marlo Graham said 86 of those drones were seized in Atlanta.  Graham said the FBI uses a "mechanism" that allows agents to see unauthorized drones in restricted airspace. Agents then work to mitigate the threat posed by unknown drones. "We've been able to safely land drones that have been unauthorized in the flight restricted area," Graham said.  While the FBI treats every drone as a potential threat, Graham said the threat level can increas...

When President Donald Trump told reporters on last week that he was looking "very strongly" at Australia's retirement system, most Americans probably shrugged and thought, "Great — another retirement plan." They shouldn't. If this idea becomes legislation, it could represent the biggest shift in American retirement policy since Social Security was signed into law in 1935. Don’t be surprised if the Trump name is on the retirement account if it happens. TRUMP LOOKING 'VERY STRONGLY' AT AUSTRALIA-STYLE RETIREMENT SYSTEM: 'TAKING THAT, MAKING IT SHARPER' The important thing to understand is this main point: Trump isn't talking about copying Australia. He's talking about taking what works and making it "sharper" for America. So what exactly is he trying to accomplish? Our retirement system was built for an economy that barely exists anymore. People used to work for one employer for 30 years, receive a pension, collect Social Se...
