Security expert Bruce Schneier told PBS that the global IT failure was a result of economic incentives favoring lean operations over system resilience. Schneier argued that while the technology for redundancy exists, companies avoid it to maximize profits, resulting in a fragile internet where a single point of failure can cause catastrophic collapse.

Acting FAA Administrator Billy Nolan testified before Congress regarding the January 11th failure of the NOTAM system, which grounded flights nationwide. Nolan admitted that he could not guarantee such a failure would never happen again but stated that the agency is working to modernize its outdated technology. The hearing explored the need for better redundancies in critical aviation safety systems.

### Media Training, Effective Soundbites

- **Episode:** [1003: Doomsday Sandwich](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1003-doomsday-sandwich.md)

A segment of an interview with a gymnast survivor was analyzed for its effectiveness as a media soundbite. The speaker used a redundant but powerful phrasing—"Not a single one of them reported. Not one."—which the hosts identified as a classic technique for ensuring a clip is picked up by news editors. This led to a brief discussion on media training and the mechanics of modern news clipping.
