PERSPECTIVE: Three Policy Failures Are Undermining America’s CBRN Detection Readiness https://t.co/wGZGTBsLEL

[TravelGov @TravelGov]

As of May 21, 2026, all U.S.-bound American citizens and lawful permanent residents (LPRs) who have been present in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan within 21 days of arrival in the United States must only enter through Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) for enhanced screening. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will apply enhanced public health screening at IAD in response to the Ebola outbreak. The Dulles requirement applies to all passengers, including U.S. citizens and LPRs, who were present in those countries. Please be prepared for flight changes or cancellations. https://t.co/7gW7cENrVb

5/ None of this requires new technology. All three failures require a reorientation of how the policy community thinks about what readiness actually means.

THREAD: The gaps in America's CBRN detection programs are not in the technology. They're in what surrounds it.

4/ Failure ③: We leave decision authority unresolved. Senior-level authorization required. Timeline measured in seconds. Those two facts are incompatible, and we have not fixed it.

Portland. 30+ lbs of explosives. A pipe bomb lands at a firefighter's feet while they were still pulling propane tanks out.

Investigators: the outcome was luck.

Luck is not a protocol.

Are your plans built for 1 device or for what this actor built?

My account has been restored. I certainly was not selling cars or using crypto. My error alone, no issues with other accounts or systems. Thx Twitter for their assistance.

Good reminder to check and verify everything.

Enjoy the weekend!

NNSA has successfully removed all high-risk cesium-137 from South Carolina, making it the 13th state to be free of this dangerous radioactive material. Retiring and removing cesium-based medical equipment is a big win for reducing Americans' risk and preventing this material from falling into the hands of adversaries. https://t.co/1LMwAkmEcM
