7:36 pm
>> the tsa refuses to go along. we would very much consider legislation and my guess is it would have large bipartisan support. i don't know anyone who's defended the tsa on this, because it doesn't make any sense. >> you can see what this change is. starting april 25th, can you carry knives this size under 2.6 inches, on to a plane's cabin, the tsa believes with cockpit doors more secure these fives can not friday down a plane. this petition on white house.gov is against the new knife policy. so far as you can see it has 17,000 signatures. now, flight attendants are worried about their personal safety, the risk from knives to them personally. but what does the tsa say in response? tsa's decision was driven by a threat assessment as part of our overall risk based security approach. we concluded that removing small

7:45 pm
backwards and saying, let's change you instead. that's probably where most of the anger is coming from. >> sandberg isn't apologetic. >> i'm not trying to say that everything i can do, everyone can do. but i do believe that these messages are completely universal. the things that hold women back hold women back from sitting at the boardroom table and speaking up at the pta meeting. >> sandberg a mother of two also says leading at work requires men to share the work load at home. >> i'm saying there's a lot we can control and we can do for ourselves. to sit at more tablings, raise more hands. >> challenging women to lean in and listen. >> susan candiotti, cnn new york. >> after yahoo's ceo caused a national outcry by banning work from home, the conversation about women's career and home life balance has grown even
