A TSA Union is asking for permission to have certain TSA officers armed with deadly force if and when necessary. This current topic arose when a man charged a TSA desk with a Machete, Wasp Spray, and homemade weapons such as molotov cocktails. This attack is the second time an instance as such has happened. These TSA agents are very vulnerable to attacks due to the fact they aren’t carrying lethal weapons and are the front line at the airports. Airports rely on police officers for these types of instances which does not do enough. The Union only wishes to have a new unit that is armed, not all agents. Some oppose this due to the fact there are shady people and also because they will be targets to these crazy people attacking airports.

In China, a group of researchers discovered a massive black hole they claim to be 12 billion times the size of the sun. They claim that it was formed nearly 900 million years after the “big bang” happened. Xue-Bing Wu, a researcher from Peking University spotted this black hole with his telescope while observing the universe in Yunnan, China. This particular black hole is more that six times larger than any other hole known of at this time and is named SDSS J010013.02. This has “the brightest quasar of the early universe.” according to a research group at the University of Arizona. A quasar is a beacon of light powered by black holes due to matter being destroyed and heated to millions of degrees. Wu from the University of Arizona stated "Just like the brightest lighthouse in the distant universe, its glowing light will help us to probe more about the early Universe."
