Centuries of Thai history...

...safe as Fort Knox.

Watch.

Now, relax, I'm a professional.

Okay, now your servers are

down because of a power surge...

...or a grid malfunction,

or maybe even a bomb.

Now, if an intrudertries to reboot

your servers or access the data...

Would you like me to

arrange a taxi?

Yes, please.

And you have a package, sir.

And welcome back

to the broadcast.

Today in the US Congress,

debate continues to rage...

...over a controversial

security funding bill.

If passed, the measure,

known as Senate Bill 2330...

...will authorize the NSA to upgrade...

...its current surveillance

technology worldwide.

What kind of special rates do

you have this weekend?

We're offering a

half-price rate, sir.

Really?

Okay, book me for one more night.

And could you please...

Shall I re-book yourflight

with Global Skies?

That's right.

But leaving on Saturday instead.

No problem, Mr. Peterson.

Enjoy your stay.

Thanks a lot.

And in the US Congress today...

...controversial Senate Bill 2330

failed by a single vote.

NSA Director Raymond Burke...

...an outspoken advocate forthe upgrade

was not available for comment.

And we're getting breaking news

now out of Bangkok, Thailand.

It seems Global Skies

flight 4400 has...

...crashed in a small town outside

Bangkok shortly aftertakeoff.

instantly.

might have caused...

...the crash of Global Skies

flight 4400.
