What did the cia source named dragonfire report on October 11 2001?
Exactly one month after the terrorist attacks on the United States, the White House received a report that a nuclear weapon had been smuggled into New York City. The news came from a CIA source, code-named Dragonfire, who said that al Qaeda terrorists had stolen a ten-kiloton nuclear weapon from Russia and brought it into New York.
No nuclear weapon had been used against people since the United States had dropped two on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki some sixty years earlier. The weapon that Dragonfire reported had slightly less explosive power than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, but experts knew the potential consequences would dwarf what had happened on 9/11 at the Twin Towers. A nuclear weapon detonated in the heart of New York City would kill half a million people instantly and completely flatten every building within one third of a mile from the blast site. Buildings up to three-quarters of a mile would be damaged and destroyed, and hundreds of thousands more people would die as these building collapsed or burned. Radiation and more fires would initially extend out to 1-1⁄2 miles from the blast site.
The National Security Council staff at the White House worried that al Qaeda could have smuggled it into New York City. The CIA knew that Osama bin Laden had a long-standing interest in acquiring nuclear weapons. They also believed that he would attempt something more dramatic and horrific than the attacks of September 11.
Specially-trained government teams secretly went to New York to search for the weapon. No one in New York, including Mayor Rudy Guiliani, was informed of the threat for fear of setting off a panic. In Washington, Vice-President Cheney and hundreds of other government officials went into hiding outside of the city. They would form the core of a new government in case terrorists had also managed to smuggle a weapon into Washington D.C.
Dragonfire's report turned out to be wrong, but government officials had taken it very seriously.

Did Frank Dux work for the CIA?
No... according to Dux book the Secret Man, HarperCollins 1996, Frank Dux was a contract agent (ala Black Water personnel) whose identity was concealed from CIA for purposes of security and in order not to violate Neutrality Acts, part of Operation Sub-groups run under the NSC and direction of DCI William Casey.
"Congressional expert witness, Iran-Contra insider, US Navy Lt. Cmdr. Alexander Martin stated in court proceedings under penalty of perjury, "During my intelligence career, I have met with and been introduced to many covert operatives, whose existence has often been officially denied by the government agencies that these parties have been associated with. One of these covert operatives was one Frank Dux." Lt. Cmdr. Martin's declaration was entered into evidence as Exhibit #25 in Dux's suit of libel and slander against Soldier of Fortune magazine.
Frank has additional military related experience as noted by Kathy Kolt in her 2008 Artesia Daily article, "In 1996, he (Frank Dux) was with HIDTA, High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area at the Criminal Justice Center. He designed strategies and tactics and evaluated their existing training program. In 1997, he received awards from the Multi Jurisdictional Counter Drug Task Force for drug task investigations. He also was sponsored by the Department of Defense to teach NEOA, Narcotics Enforcement Officers Association, covert activities. He is an adjunct faculty member of the Saint Petersburg, Florida Criminal Justice Institute. He was knighted in the Order of Saint Michael, Knight Chevalier, by the Police Hall of Fame, Miami, Florida. He was a source contributor to the US Navy Seal SpecWar Manual."

What will happen to your family if you join the CIA?
Nothing will "happen" to them. However, as a preliminary step to your being offered employment, your entire family will undergo a complete and thorough scrutiny into their background. If employed you will probably not be able to tell anyone who you really work for. Most CIA employees, even the ones who I know well, tend to say that they work for some other branch or agency of the government (i.e.- State Department - US Inofrmation Agency - etc).
Will having herpes type 1 disqualify you from the CIA medical exam?

What does CIA non reactive mean in relation to Phyllis?
In the context of Phyllis, CIA non-reactive likely refers to the absence of antibodies against the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in her blood. A non-reactive result indicates that Phyllis has not been exposed to HCV or that her immune system has not produced detectable levels of antibodies against the virus. This result may suggest a lower risk of current or past infection with hepatitis C. It is important to interpret this result in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings to determine Phyllis's overall hepatitis C status accurately.
