Friend who Bought Guns for SB Terrorist to be Indicted:  Federal authorities are set to bring charges against the former neighbor of one of the San Bernardino shooters, who allegedly purchased two of the guns used in last week's terrorist attacks.   Fox News reports that 24-year-old Enrique Marquez, who is married to the sister-in-law of gunman Syed Farook's older brother, legally purchased the AR-15 rifles that Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik used in the deadly attack, and is expected to be indicted after providing "substantial information" to investigators about the radicalized couple.  It is believed that Marquez bought the rifles and gave or sold them to Farook back in 2012, after the two discussed executing an attack somewhere in the Los Angeles area.  The plan was abandoned by the friends following the arrests of four people in Riverside County on an unrelated terror case.  Friends of Marquez have told authorities that he seldom spoke of his family or marriage, and was either converted or in the process of converting to Islam.  He checked into a mental facility shortly after the carnage unfolded last Wednesday, but his current location is not clear.  It is not clear the specific charges he'll face.

US Launches Trial of Biometric Scanner at Border Crossing:  U.S. Customs and Border Protection have begun a trial run to test out biometric screening at the U.S.-Mexico border by capturing facial and eye scans of foreigners entering the country at San Diego's Otay Mesa port of entry on foot.  Elliot Spagat of the AP reports that by February, foreigners going to Mexico on foot through the checkpoint will also get scanned, and the trial run will last through June.  Marc Rosenblum, deputy director of U.S. immigration policy at the Migration Policy Institute, said that capturing biometrics from people leaving the country would fix "the biggest deficiency in the whole system."  Jim Williams, a former Department of Homeland Security official, echoed that sentiment saying, "We have historically controlled our borders coming in but not going out."  A Pew Hispanic Center study conducted in 2006 estimated that between 40 and 50 percent of people in the U.S. illegally overstayed their visas, and use of biometric screening at the nation's fourth-busiest border crossing will hopefully help to remedy the problem.

Ex-Subway Associate Sentenced on Child Porn Charges:  The former director of the Jared Foundation, a nonprofit started by ex-Subway pitchman Jared Fogle to combat childhood obesity, was sentenced to 27 years in prison Thursday for producing child pornography.  Rick Callahan of the AP reports that 44-year-old Russell Taylor plead guilty in September to child exploitation and child porn charges, and admitted using hidden cameras to secretly film 12 children inside his Indianapolis-area homes for the production of child porn.  After serving his full sentence, he will be on lifetime supervision.  Taylor gave former Subway spokesman Fogle photos or videos of eight of the 12 victims and "encouraged him to produce more," leading to Fogle's arrest and conviction.  Last month, Fogle was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to trading child pornography and having sex with two underage prostitutes.
