FBI Terror Exhibition at Newseum Washington
At the Newseum in Washington, the exhibition 'Inside today’s FBI. Fighting Crime in an Age of Terror' features artifacts from the FBI archive, including the Unabomber's cabin, landing gear from United Airlines Flight 175 (9/11), Richard Reid's shoes, the Boston Marathon bombing backpack, and a Times Square car bomb. The show, located in the basement, is a major success with no closing date. A second section details FBI tools against cybercrime: facial recognition, fingerprint analysis, handwriting and DNA analysis, email phishing, malware detection, and hacking. The museum, a private institution on Pennsylvania Avenue, charges $23 admission (unlike free DC museums) and attracts school groups from across the US, many wearing Trump T-shirts despite Obama's presidency.
