Revontulet is the Finnish word for “Foxfire.”
According to Finnish lore, a mystical fox was thought to have created the Northern Lights, with its’ bushy tail kicking up snow and tossing up sparks into the dark, night sky.

This week in the Weekly News Roundup we look at the TSA being able to search phones without a warrant. Also, some new smart tech looks too good to be true, and there is a lot of security holes to look at. Finally, a new bill would allow big tech to create local governments and a lawyer gets stuck on a kitten filter.
