A guest Friday’s “The Shawn Ryan Show” podcast says Las Vegas Cybertruck bomber Matthew Livelsberger emailed him with an incredible claim.

Retired Army Intelligence Officer Sam Shoemate said Livelsberger claimed he was being followed by Homeland Security because they know he’s trying to reveal a high-level coverup of “advanced drone technology” launched by China.

Matt Livelsberger's Email

"I've been followed for over a week now from likely homeland or FBI, and they are looking to move on me and are unlikely going to let me cross into Mexico, but won't because they know I am armed and I have a massive VBIED. I've been trying to maintain a… pic.twitter.com/PQZt87G3Ox

During the podcast, The Shawn Ryan Show discovered they’d also received an email from Livelsberger. On the X platform, Ryan released the email as revealed by Shoemate.

The suspected Cybertruck bomber said he’s releasing this information to reveal the existence of “gravitic propulsion systems” which civilians have recently recognized as “drones” flying over the US east coast.

Livelsberger says only the US and China have this technology and China is demonstrating that they could use it. He calls these systems the “most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed” and says “China is poised to attack anywhere in the east coast”.

The entire email reads:

“In case I do not make it to my decision point or on to the Mexico border I am sending this now. Please do not release this until 1JAN and keep my identity private until then.

“First off I am not under duress or hostile influence or control. My first car was a 2006 Black Ford Mustang V6 for verification.

“China has been launching them from the Atlantic from submarines for years, but this activity recently has picked up. As of now, it is just a show of force and they are using it similar to how they used the balloon for sigint and isr, which are also part of the integrated coms system. There are dozens of those balloons in the air at any given time.

“The so what is because of the speed and stealth of these unmanned AC, they are the most dangerous threat to national security that has ever existed. They basically have an unlimited payload capacity and can park it over the WH if they wanted. It’s checkmate.

“USG needs to give the history of this, how we are employing it and weaponizing it, how China is employing them and what the way forward is. China is poised to attack anywhere in the east coast.

“I’ve been followed for over a week now from likely homeland or FBI, and they are looking to move on me and are unlikely going to let me cross into Mexico, but won’t because they know I am armed and I have a massive VBIED. I’ve been trying to maintain a very visible profile and have kept my phone and they are definitely digitally tracking me.”  (VBIED – vehicle-borne explosive device)

Livelsberger’s email concludes by alleging the coverup of “war crimes” in Afghanistan’s Nimruz Province that “killed hundreds of civilians in a single day.”

He begs the recipients of his email to verify his claims so the public receives this information without any influence from government agencies.   “You need to elevate this to the media so we avoid a world war because this is a mutually assured destruction situation.”

In the Shawn Ryan podcast interview, Sam Shoemate suggested Livelsberger might actually still be alive.

Considering all this potentially explosive information, podcaster Shawn Ryan said he’s “disappearing” for a while.

My family and I are disappearing for a few days. My account will be active but it will not be me behind the wheel. What we are about to release is mind boggling and will raise a lot of questions.

All media requests need to go to my producer @SRS_jeremy

Biometric systems promise efficiency at airports, but concerns over data security and transparency persist.

Biometric technology is being rolled out at US airports at an unprecedented pace, with plans to extend these systems to hundreds more locations in the coming years. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is driving a significant push toward facial recognition and other biometric tools, claiming improved efficiency and security. However, the expansion has sparked growing concerns, with privacy advocates and lawmakers voicing concerns about data security, transparency, and the potential for misuse of such technology.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has already implemented its Biometric Facial Comparison system at 238 airports, including 14 international locations. This includes all CBP Preclearance sites and several major departure hubs. CBP says its Biometric Exit program is rapidly gaining traction, with new airport partners joining monthly and positive feedback reported from passengers.

Meanwhile, the TSA has equipped nearly 84 airports with its next-generation Credential Authentication Technology (CAT-2) scanners, which incorporate facial recognition. This rollout is part of a broader effort to bring biometrics to over 400 airports nationwide. These advancements are detailed in a TSA fact sheet aimed at building public awareness of the initiative.

Opposition and Privacy Concerns

Despite assurances from TSA and CBP, critics remain skeptical. Some lawmakers, led by Senator Jeff Merkley, argue that the TSA has yet to justify the need for biometric systems when previous technologies already authenticated IDs effectively. Privacy advocates warn that the widespread use of facial recognition could set a dangerous precedent, normalizing surveillance and threatening individual freedoms.

The debate is closely tied to the federal REAL ID Act, introduced two decades ago to standardize identification requirements for air travel. As of now, many states have failed to fully implement REAL ID standards, and only a portion of Americans have acquired compliant credentials. Reports indicate that fewer than half of Ohio residents and just 32 percent of Kentuckians have updated their IDs, even as the May 7, 2025, deadline approaches.

Biometric Adoption on the Global Stage

Beyond the US, biometric systems are gaining momentum worldwide. India’s Digi Yatra program has attracted 9 million active users, adding 30,000 new downloads daily. The program processes millions of flights while emphasizing privacy by storing data on users’ mobile devices rather than centralized databases. Plans are underway to expand the program further, including international pilots scheduled for mid-2025.

While biometric technology offers alleged benefits, such as faster boarding and enhanced security, it also poses serious risks. Privacy advocates caution against unchecked implementation, especially since, one day, this form of check-in is likely to be mandatory.

The TSA’s aggressive push for biometrics places the United States at the forefront of this global shift.
