Vaping on planes can be a bit of a cloudy issue for some people who question whether flight passengers can get away with using e-cigarettes in the bathroom.One Reddit user took to the forum "r/flightattendants" to ask others, "Do you guys know when passengers vape in the bathroom?"The post garnered an array of comments from various flyers and users claiming to be flight attendants who weighed in with their thoughts.VAPING FLIGHT PASSENGER PROMPTS PILOT TO THREATEN TO 'TURN THIS PLANE AROUND'"Yes, we know," one Redditor commented.The user added, "Even if [an] audible alarm didnt go off (or maybe it did and you were too far to hear it), something else will alert on the FA panels or in the cockpit and the pilots [will] call to tell us to check on a specific lavatory.""We get loud, flashing red alarms on the flight deck when smoke or particulates are detected. So, yes, we know when someone is vaping in the lav," claimed another Redditor.Another person said, "There are sensors all over the plane. Just saying."PILOT ALLEGEDLY CALLS OUT VAPING PASSENGER IN CABIN-WIDE ANNOUNCEMENT: 'ONE PERSON DECIDED TO RISK LIVES'"When I open the door and it smells like strawberry star crush, then yes," said one user.Another person said, "Keep in mind an alarm may have sounded, but it may not have sounded like a traditional alarm you think of so it may not have registered [in] your mind it was an alarm."A Redditor suggested, "Just buy some nicotine gum if you really are that hooked."For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"I watched someone just hitting their vape in their seat a few weeks ago," said another flyer."Exhaled into her clothing. No one said anything to her the entire flight. I think some care more than others do."A person claiming to be a flight attendant shared, "Yes. I have worked a flight where the fire alarm went off due to a guy vaping in the bathroom. You can be arrested it's not worth it."Gary Leff, aTexas-basedtravel industry expert and author of the blog "View From the Wing," told Fox News Digitalabout detectors on planes.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"It's just the smoke detector, but these aren't your average home smoke detectors," said Leff."The modern ones can certainly detect aerosols from vaping.""You cant smoke on a plane. You cant vape, either," said Leff."The FAA has interpreted the prohibition on cigarette smoking to include vaping products, even though theyre quite different."He added, "Its not about banning vapor. The regulation simply extends the banon cigarettesto include e-cigarettes, which werent contemplated when the law against on-board smoking was passed."

Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, took the stand Tuesday to testify against the former bad boy of music in his federal trial for sex crimes.The model, who is pregnant with her third child with husband Alex Fine, was the only witness prosecutors called to the stand during the second day of proceedings at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse in Manhattan.Throughout nearly eight hours of questioning, Ventura recalled harrowing experiences from her 12-year relationship with the "I'll Be Missing You" singer, many of which she said occurred under the pressure of Diddy's sexual gratification.INSIDE THE DIDDY JURY ROOM: A LOOK AT WHO'S DECIDING THE RAPPER'S FATEVentura testified to using drugs, including ketamine and cocaine, as a way to disassociate during the "freak offs.""For me, it was dissociative I couldnt imagine doing that without some sort of buffer," she told Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson. "I needed to remain high to stay present with the experience."Ventura admitted that ecstasy made her feel euphoric and aroused, while ketamine would make her dissociative. Cocaine made her heart race, and mushrooms made her see things. GHB, also known as the date-rape drug, made her feel drunk.MISSING KEY WITNESS CRIPPLES DIDDY PROSECUTION AS TRIAL HITS ROADBLOCKS BEFORE IT BEGINS: EXPERTShe testified that she would almost always get sick from the drugs and often vomited. Diddy was allegedly aware that she was sick while engaged in a "freak off."Ventura claimed Diddy liked to use baby oil during the "freak off" parties and requested to watch her use the oil on other sexual partners involved.While on the stand, she recalled oneinstancewhen there was a blow-up pool they had filled with oil. She explained she got in because "you couldnt say no." Ventura was concerned about Diddy's temper if she didnt get in, the singer-songwriter told the prosecutor.WATCH ON FOX NATION: WHAT DIDDY DO?Ventura testified that the supplies for the "freak offs" baby oil,Astroglide, lubricants and condoms were provided by Diddys assistants or security.All participants in the"freak offs"used baby oil,according to Ventura. Sheclaimed it was always heated, per Diddys request. Baby oil was used so they were "glistening," she said. Diddy allegedly had them apply the oil every five minutes."If he felt you were too dry, he would let you know you need to be shining," she told the jury. Diddy would direct the "freak offs," but Ventura "knew what to do." She testified it was "a very choreographed experience."On March 25, 2024, Combs' homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided in connection with a federal human trafficking investigation, officials confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time. During the search, authorities allegedly seized various "freak off" supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant."Members and associates of the Combs Enterprise, including high-ranking supervisors, security staff, household staff, personal assistants, and other Combs Business employees, facilitated the Freak Offs by, among other things, booking hotel rooms for the Freak Offs; stocking the hotel rooms in advance with the required Freak Off supplies, including controlled substances, baby oil, lubricant, extra linens, and lighting," the indictment claimed.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

The team members allegedly delivered large sums of cash to Combs to pay the commercial sex workers and would also schedule the delivery of IV fluids."Freak offs" were "elaborate produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded," according to the indictment.Combs and his staff allegedly transported commercial sex workers across state lines and internationally for the "freak offs," which regularly occurred and sometimes lasted multiple days, often including multiple sex workers.Ventura testified that the sessions would sometimes last days at a time."The freak offs became a job. There was no space for anything else but to recover," she said on the stand.WATCH: SEAN DIDDY COMBS SEEMINGLY ASSAULTS CASSIE VENTURA IN 2016 LOS ANGELES HOTEL INCIDENTVentura recorded hundreds of songs during their relationship, but only some of the music was released. She said when she wasn't working on music, she was "recovering."The "freak offs" would last between 24 and 72 hours. Ventura recalled the longest "freak off" was four days. When she wasn't participating, she was recovering from "the drugs, dehydration, staying awake," she said."Every freak off was directed by Sean," Ventura testified, which included her positioning, the lighting, etc. Eventually, Ventura and a male escort were instructed to put baby oil on each other.Ventura claimed on the stand that the "Victory" singer requested to be called by her grandfather's nickname."It was weird," she told the courtroom after the jury was shown an email between the former couple, which was sent from "baby girl" (Ventura) to "Pop Pop" (Diddy). The subject line read, "I really need to f---." Diddy replied, asking who she planned to sleep with. Ventura testified she sent the email "because I wanted to be with him," referring to Combs.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERVentura claimed she wanted to have sex with Diddy, not the escorts, during their relationship.Diddy told Ventura about his "fantasy" of seeing her with another man during the first year of their relationship.The musician was in her early 20s when she began a romantic relationship with Diddy after meeting the rapper in 2006.

If found guilty, he faces a minimum of 15 years behind bars or a maximum sentence of life in prison.Fox News Digital's Maria Paronich and Kirill Clark contributed to this report.

The brutal Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua (TdA), which has rapidly grown in recent years and is wreaking havoc in communities nationwide, is using tech savvy to best its rivals and infiltrate American communities, experts say."Part of their recruitment process is to get individuals with IT backgrounds so that not only are they maintaining a presence on social media to keep their ear to the ground, they're also getting and recruiting and exploiting individuals with IT backgrounds so that they can operate digitally more easily in their marketing and advertising of individuals in the sex trade [and] sex trafficking," said Ali Hopper, a researcher from the nonprofit GUARD Against Trafficking.Jarrod Sadulski founded GUARD Against Trafficking, and he and Hopper travel to prisons on the southwest border, in Mexico and Central America, where they interview imprisoned former gang and cartel members for research purposes."They absorb people into the ranks, sometimes by force," Sadulski said. "For example, if they come across somebody in a Venezuelan community that they've embedded themselves in and that person has IT skills or some specific set of unique skills, they'll draw in that person, even if it's unwillingly, into their enterprise, into their gang, because of that special skill set that they have. So that speaks to their sophistication."Hopper said that much like organized cartels, TdA uses a specific cloud communication style as a way of avoiding digital surveillance while directing gang activities, unlike typical gangs.DOJ INDICTS ALLEGED HIGH-RANKING TREN DE ARAGUA MEMBER ON TERRORISM CHARGES FOR THE FIRST TIMEPart of that style involves using unique imagery. Hopper said the gang sends images back and forth without text and communicates via symbols in the background of the images to avoid digital detection.Other gangs will simply use email, according to Sadulski and Hopper, exposing themselves to far more risk.TdA also has its own online language."They like to resort to either communicating through a photo background an item in the background or through emojis," Hopper said. "It's a whole other language where emojis mean different things. And so that doesn't really get flagged by a platform system because it's not being written. It is a language communicated through emojis or communicated through an actual image rather than the text below or the image."Another part of TdA's operational strategy that allows the organization to rapidly gain a foothold in American communities is a willingness to partner with local street gangs, a mutually beneficial arrangement that allows the local gangs to make more money on the backs of TdA."They'll come into a large city, hide themselves within the Venezuelan population but then work with the local gangs in that area, whether it's Blood group, Crips or other gangs that [are] more specific to that community and basically align themselves to make profits through human trafficking, through drug trafficking, through murder-for-hire in conjunction with these other gangs versus warring with them," Sadulski said.In return, TdA uses these partnerships to closely study local police and criminal justice trends."They align themselves with these gangs to understand the market in that area, the trade routes [and] who's who in that community," Hopper said. "So they align themselves with these gangs and work with them at lower levels to start to understand the lay of the land and the area in which they work."TEXAS WOMAN ROBBED, PISTOL-WHIPPED IN RITZY DALLAS AREA BY ILLEGAL VENEZUELAN MIGRANTS WITH GANG TIES: REPORT"On top of that, that allows them the time to study the politics in that area," he said. "They're actually studying the politics of the area. They study the political climate, they study law enforcement, their routes, where they're going, where they patrol, where they don't patrol [and] what crimes are being prosecuted, what crimes are seen as lower level and not worth prosecuting."Sadulski and Hopper noted that even with their sophistication, the gang is still ultraviolent and willing to impulsively commit heinous crimes without prior planning.One such crime recently occurred when 11 teen TdA members, including several minors, attacked New York City Police Department officers in Times Square."It's horrific enough to be a victim of a crime," New York City Mayor Eric Adams said of the attack. "But when someone openly assaults a police officer, you are attacking our symbol of safety, and it cannot be tolerated."People who prey on innocent people must be held accountable. They must be brought to justice."
