Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Unsafe School Bus Drop-Off in Illinois

• The mother, Akira Willis, was notified by a neighbor and was distressed the child was let off unsupervised.
• Willis reported that the bus company protocol requires bringing a child back to school if no adult is present at the stop, which was not followed (“I said, so you guys just letting 6 year olds off the bus by themselves without no parent being present? Since when do we do that?"). [05:23]

Timestamps: [24:29]–[34:09]

• Woody discusses a new wave of organized crime stealing shipped goods using cyber tactics, highlighting shifts in criminal strategy since the Covid-19 pandemic.
• Criminals use online load boards to impersonate logistics professionals, hijacking shipments mid-transit by exploiting weaknesses in freight marketplace vetting and AI screening.
• “I think the criminals have identified that the weak point between A and point B is in transportation… instead of putting yourself in harm’s way, why not capture it in Transit?” [25:17]
