## About this episode

The LAPD manhunt for Christopher Dorner ends in a suspicious cabin fire at Big Bear Lake, raising questions about the repeated discovery of the suspect's wallet and the official narrative provided by law enforcement. Adam Curry details his own confrontation with TSA agents at LAX after opting out of a body scanner, highlighting a growing friction between travelers and airport security protocols. These events underscore a week of heavy-handed institutional maneuvers ranging from domestic policing to federal travel mandates.

President Barack Obama issued Executive Order 13636 during the 2013 State of the Union, a move that critics argue will erode online anonymity through the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace. While the Pentagon introduces the Distinguished Warfare Medal for drone pilots, the UK remains embroiled in a horse meat scandal that serves as a convenient distraction from the Justice and Security Bill. In the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI announced a historic resignation amid rumors of money laundering at the IOR bank, while in Italy, populist Beppe Grillo threatens the European establishment by campaigning on debt renegotiation.

Adam Curry shares the grim reality of the Carnival Triumph cruise ship power outage, confirming the use of red emergency bags for human waste via first-hand text messages. The show acknowledges executive producer Stephen Baron von Pelsmacher and explores the Hacienda Xixim estate in the Yucatan. Between critiques of Taylor Swift at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards and Dr. Ben Carson’s challenge to the President at the National Prayer Breakfast, the value-for-value model remains the only alternative to embedded advertising.
