No Agenda - Revisited: Episode 11 re-reviews No Agenda from January 4, 2008 — the first show of 2008, with Adam recovering from norovirus in England and John in rainy Northern California. Each claim is checked twice: against what was known at the time, and against what we know now.• Adam — the UK norovirus outbreak was real and the worst in five years, but the "two million infected" figure was disavowed by the Health Protection Agency itself (600,000–1,000,000 was its estimate). Mixed.• John — the Queen Mary 2 sailing with ~50 flu cases: no record found; the likely memory is the QE2's outbreak a year earlier. Unverified.• Adam — the theory that drug companies seed flu season to sell cures: no evidence then or since, and John pushed back on air. Unverified.• John — "four vaccines in a flu shot": the 2007–08 shot was trivalent — three strains, not four. Incorrect.• John — the Washington Post's RIAA story omitted "in a shared folder" from the lawyer's quote. The Post corrected itself the very next day. Correct.• Adam — the Audio Home Recording Act does not cover computer hard drives. Correct, and still the law.• Adam — the TSA SPOT numbers (~70,000 referrals, 600–700 arrests) matched the reporting; the GAO later found the programme scientifically unvalidated, with zero terrorism arrests. Correct.• John — anti-missile lasers on three American Airlines jets: the DHS test was real; fleet-wide deployment never happened. Correct.• Adam — the TWA Flight 800 fuel-tank explosion matches the NTSB's official finding. Correct.• Adam — al-Qaeda as a CIA "database" of mujahideen: a serious 2005 claim, but two decades of evidence show no CIA contact with bin Laden; aid ran through Pakistan's ISI. Incorrect.• John — laptops overtaking desktops as the industry's big trend: right early; U.S. retail notebooks passed desktops in 2005. Correct.Score for this episode: 6 correct · 1 mixed · 2 incorrect · 2 unverified.
