look this morning at three cities with three very busy airports. you're seeing atlanta there on the right side of your screen. you're seeing new york at the top, philly at the bottom, three places a lot of people are going to be traveling around over this coming week. well, get ready. things are going to be a little different at the airport as you know with all of the new tsa procedures. we're going to be looking at the airport delays going on right now, the airport procedures that are in place as well, getting you ready for your thanksgiving week. hello to you all from the cnn center this is your "cnn sunday morning," 8:00 a.m. here in atlanta where i stand. i'm t.j. holmes. the tsa has been getting an earful from people on capitol hill, from people out there on line who are going to be traveling already gone through the testy procedures if you will at the airport. thanksgiving as you know the traditionally busy travel season we're just getting it under way right now. aaa estimating some 42 million people will be traveling 50 miles per more from home, 1.5 million of those are by plane. all those numbers are up from

last year. the issue for some air travelers as you know, the choice between those revealing full body scanners or do you take the intrusive patdown? the tsa chief released a video this weekend trying to help educate the travellers even more and remind you of your options when you get to the airport. >> in either case where a patdown is required, you have born options we want you to be aware of. you have the option to request the patdown be conducted in a private room and have the option to have that patdown witnessed by a person of your choice. >> we're also hearing from president obama for the first time on this tsa controversy. he says the new procedures are the only ones considered effective. he was asked about it before he left the nato summit. take a listen. >> i don't go through security checks to get on planes these days, so i haven't personally experienced some of the procedures that have been put in

place by tsa. i will also say that in the aftermath of the christmas day bombing, our tsa personnel are properly under enormous pressure to make sure that you don't have somebody slipping on a plane with some sort of explosive device on their persons. and since the explosive device that was on mr. abdulmutallab was not detected by ordinary metal detectors, it has meant that tsa has had to try to adapt to make sure that passengers on planes are safe. >> you hear what the president is saying there. what are folks who actually have to fly and have to go through those tsa procedures, what are they saying? we caught up with some of them at reagan international. >> well i'm not very familiar with american standards, but it is something that's normal in

europe. >> as far as the scanners go, i don't feel like it's really necessary to go through security. i don't think you need to scan through clothes and be looking at what's underneath. i think that going through a metal detector should be sufficient. >> i think i'd rather go through the full body scanner than have a patdown because i'm not being invaded personally by someone touching me. >> it's necessary, yes, because people are hiding things in their shoes and their underwear. so yes, the patdown simply is not all that invasive. >> you're hearing from passengers, hearing from the president, you're hearing from the tsa chief and you have seen all of this news coverage this past week or so about these measures but you really don't get the full picture until "saturday night live" chimed in. >> spending time with a tsa agent couldn't be easier. simply book a flight departing from any american airport, when selected for a full body scanner, say no. you'll be pulled aside by a tsa

agent and that's when the fun begins. and you never know who your agent will be. >> it could be me. >> or me. >> or even me. >> but it's probably going to be us. >> oh, that is great stuff. and people are starting to have a little fun out there about it. sometimes you just got to laugh. plenty of other folks are taking it quite seriously, find all of it just a little too intrusive if you will, trying to find that balance between being safe and also your personal rights. but at the same time you knew somebody who was going to find a way to make money off of this. you remember the line it was an audio we heard, one of the passengers, he was going through one of the patdowns and we heard the audio it was out there, he said to the tsa officer "don't touch my junk." well, take a look at this now someone decided to try to make some money off of that line, there is a store in milwaukee, they took that line, turned it around, put it on a t-shirt and

the big bold letters say "touch my junk." the small letters say "it's ok, touch my junk." turning that airport security issue into some profit for them. reynolds wolf talk about the security and whatnot but a lot of people concerned about the weather and how that's going to affect their travel plans and already seeing a few wrinkles. more to come. >> what we have t.j. in san francisco a delay about 45 minutes on the ground, lax same thing, departure delays, and we see that fluctuate a bit. later on today the delays are going to be mostly out towards the west, salt lake city, rain and wind could give you up to an hour delay and again sfo, lax also over into oakland, you can have the delays from 15 to 30, portland, organize oh, seattle also going to join into the mix and the reason why, it's very easy to see. we've got a large storm system out to the west and the storm system will pull its way across

much of the great -- across parts of the sierra nevada into the great basin and central rockies, not in inches but in terms of feet. plain as day the scattered showers moving as could parts of the san joaquin valley and bay area. same story back in parts of the wasatch range and central rockies. great news for skiers, not so much for the travelers. we're beginning to see a light touch of snowfall towards thunder bay and into the arrow head region of minnesota. more on that on the way. as we get into wednesday and thursday which we'll show new a few moments, possibly heavy lake-effect snowfall for the eastern half of the great lakes. today mainly rain fort western great lakes. 40 your high into seattle, 67 degrees in phoenix. 68 in kansas city and 72 in atlanta. 46 the high expected for new york. again we've been telling you about the snow, let answer show you some video that really encapsulates the story of what many people will be dealing with on many of the roadways. you can see the video and much

of it out towards california. you make that drive going from sacramento toward lake tahoe you'll see the transformation in the form of rain drops later on, snow begins in earnest. donner summit the wind will be roaring, some gusts possibly up to 60 miles per hour. monday 39 degrees your expected high, portland, back into l.a., scattered showers and 60 degrees. rain now moving into parts of the central great lakes with 63 degrees, again mainly rain into monday, but then take a look at this, notice the transformation, talking about the delays, yep more of them. in fact those delays are going to spread from places like chicago as we get into wednesday and fast forward into thursday, the low marches across parts of the great lakes, taps into atlantic moisture and we could see the snow stacking up in buffalo, new york, perhaps even spots like syracuse, and same story in rochesterochester. t.j. rough weather at west, coming to the east >> keep in mind as well you're giving the updates about the delays, a lot of people will be

flying but the overwhelming majority of the pictures you show hitting the roads driving. they need to be careful and know what's out there as well. we'll check in with reynolds this morning. coming up, they are ordinary folks doing some extraordinary things and we are saluting them, our cnn heroes, the all-star tribute. also another awards show, the biggest names in music, rihanna among them. usher, justin bieber, you name them, there at the american music awards. ah, there's usher, atlanta native, and a song of his we're playing right now. nine minutes past the hour. stick around. ♪ ♪ oh my gosh [ male announcer ] it's a rule of nature. you don't decide when vegetables reach the peak of perfection. the vegetables do. at green giant, we pick vegetables only when they're perfect. then freeze them fast

♪ that music and graphic and that name that, face can only mean one thing, came to talk to cnn student anchor carl azuz. the big story for the past week has been about the tsa, been about the security procedures. what about the young folks out there? are they chiming in on this? are they as fired up seemingly as so many others seem to be about it? >> they're divided right down the middle. >> really? >> at first few comments were a lot of students turning more toward better safe than sorry. those were the first few that i saw at cnnstudentnews.com. after that there was a line right down the middle with 50% on one side, 50% on the other. now to tell the story to students at cnn student news,

some traveled, not all had seen the body scanners so we showed them the pictures and aired this statement from the tsa administrator so the students had an idea of why the tsa was doing this. take a listen. >> the question is, how do we best address those issues that people have raised while providing the best possible security. we know that everybody on every flight wants to ensure that everybody around them has been properly screened so not a group with box cutters or liquid explosives or underwear bombs or shoe bombs, whatever it may be, so we had to find that area that we can provide the best possible security to address those issues. >> but in finding that balance, sharply divided, i know they've sharply divided your audience, sharply divided our audience and just as a sample of what some students are saying, a comment from bethy saying privacy is fine, good and great. what good does it do you when you're in danger? for every point we have a

counter point on this, jim quoting ben franklin, those who would give up liberty to purchase safety deserve neither. i love your kids are so sharp, i love when you bring us the comments there. the kid quoting ben franklin. mighting studying him. are there any trends emerging with the kids, is it a split between the women feel one way, the girls feel one way or the boys, any rhyme or reason to it? >> no, not that i have seen honestly. that's something i like to look for. it gives us something to talk about and kind of examine what students are saying and if they're lining up on one side or the other. i'm seeing for every point there is a counter point. i have a cup of more points from the students talking about tsa and privacy issues. billiam says the scanners. are effectively a strip search and enhanced patdowns are humiliating and close to sexual harassment. maia say some people may feel negatively but saying safety

first. if you're not going to bomb the plane do you need to object? do you have anything to hide? i like to look for trends in student responses so that i could tell you about a them but on this one they are split. >> we had video online of a small child, seemed like he was getting the patdown kind of a thing but the tsa administrator came out and said kids under 12 are not subject to that but are kids kind of speaking out about that part of it? what might their comfort level be or did you even see comments of any kids had been through these yet? >> one student who wrote in said he had flown last week and i think he had been patted down and said it really wasn't much to be concerned about but there was another kid who wrote in as i said point, counterpoint and told us that he had been arrested and that what the police did in that patdown was not as invasive to him as what the tsa is doing. so you know, it's hard to, as i said generalize what students are saying but i mean those who have seen it, those who have

been through it, kids participanted down or they haven't been through the body scanners so much in our audience age range but still, they're split. >> what is the age range? >> middle and high school students. >> what is he doing getting arrested. >> that's another story all together. >> good to see you as always. at the top of the hour jill carroll will be focusing on the patdowns and scanners on "state of the union." john pistole, the tsa chief will be a guest on the show as well as respective john micah, the ranking republican on the house transportation committee, again 9:00 eastern, 6:00 pacific, "state of the union" can jill carroll here on cnn. hey, did you ever finish last month's invoices?

there are lots of companies, when i was pregnant, hey spend $2,000, bank cord blood. your child might get leukemia and you'll need these. when i talked to doctors, people who head up pediatric transplant centers we're not going to use cord blood. chances are there are leukemia in the umbilical cord blood cells. if your kid has sickle cell we don't want to use those. those cells have sickle cell dna in them. they said really we don't think a kid's cord blood helps himself all that much, very few cases is how they put it to me. >> how could it help someone else if you want to donate it for humanity? >> if your child is healthy as most are, you take the cord blood, doesn't hurt the child or cost you anything, sits in a bank along with tens of thousands of other babies' cord blood. if somebody were to get sick, anywhere in the country were to get sick they go to the bank, they put in all their biological information and who knows, your baby could be a match and give

that person with cancer a transplant. and wouldn't that be an incredible thing by chance if your baby matches up that baby could save someone. >> is this something you need to alert the doctors to, that you want to do this or are they asking these days? >> you need to plan ahead. now, if you're lucky you give birth at one of 200 hospitals where this is easy to do. 200 hospitals make this easy and it really can be a last-minute decision in that situation, but at most hospitals, it's not, you have to plan for it. you have to send away and get this kit, this kit allows them to collect the cord blood, got the right stuff to collect it. >> doctors will know what to do. >> they're given instructions what to do. you take the kit and you have to say to your doctor, are you willing to do this and then we'll mail it into the bank. some doctors don't want to do it because it can get complicated and involves the hospital. some doctors may not be so enthusiastic, but other doctors may say sure, let's do it. >> last thing here, is there an effort or will there be more of an effort in the future, because it sounds like if you get a big

enough bank diverse enough bank this could help a lot of families around the country. >> diverse is the key. it is hard to make a match for stem cells. it really is. you want lots of people contributing. i have four kids and i didn't hear about this until after my kids were born, and so the reason why i think nobody makes any money off of this, so there's no money to buy tv ads or send flyers in the mail. i think there's not a lot of publicity about it. >> last thing, are there some scams? i don't know if i should call them scams but some out there are trying to make money off parents, almost scaring them into thinking they need to pay to store it for their own child because it will help their own child. like you say it doesn't down the road. >> there may be some cases where it would help your own child but what doctors tell me they may there are few aces where it would help. when you get the flyer in the mail and thinking about spending $2,000 to bank cord blood for your own child ask a lot of questions and in my column i say what questions to ask and that's on cnn.com/health.

taking a look now at some of the stories making headlines. there's a fairly new online magazine that's got people's attention. the name of it is inspire, reported to be published by al qaeda. it's calling last month's bomb plot out of yemen, the bombs aboard cargo planes they didn't blow up but still in this online magazines al qaeda is calling it a success. the publication again thought to be produced by al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, based in yemen. also by an american citizen who is also living in yemen. also look at the pictures now. massive flooding taking place in colombia right now. the president has declared a state of emergency for just about the entire country. at least 136 people dead, another 200 plus hurt. there's more rain in the forecast, the situation could possibly get worse before it gets better. also back here in the u.s. now, president obama is getting into the ongoing debate over the

new tsa screening measures. he says patdowns and body scans are necessary to assure airline safety. critics objecting because of privacy concerns. the vatican is making an exception in its stance on using contraceptives. pope benedict says the use of condoms can be morally acceptable in some cases. the example he used was if mail prostitutes wanted to use condoms to stop the spread of hiv/aids. we asked john allen, senior cnn vat ran analyst about this if this signaled a major change in the church's policy. this is how he explained it. >> he used the example of a male prost opportuni prostitute but more generally if the intention is to reduce infection that can be morally acceptable which could also, although the pope doesn't say this explicitly, could also apply to the situation of a heterosexual couple, married cup until which one partner is hiv

positive and the other isn't, a number of catholic theologians and a vatican commission back in 2006 have recommended that in that set of circumstances, condoms might be justifiable. >> some roman catholic leaders have spoken in the past about the limited use of condoms in specific cases. this would mark the first time the pope has mentioned it as a possibility. coming up, success on the football field, that's not enough. not for the legendary coach bobby bowden. he was talking to our reynolds wolf about some of his biggest struggles and most of those weren't necessarily on that football field. his interview next.

i don't have it that bad at all. good morning to you. i guess naturally you would be talking about what the whole country has been talking about over the past week or so, what's happening at the country's airports. >> yes, we do have the tsa administrator to come on, we're going to talk to him a little bit about what prompted this, and some sort of unanswered questions that we had about how they're going to deal with specific instances. certainly the pictures and honestly i don't know if you've been going through an airport but i have, and it's pretty amazing so we will talk to the tsa administrator, john pistole and congressman micah, a big critic of tsa but our lead-off guest will be chairman of the joint chiefs of staff because also in the news has been the president's nato meeting, the word that in a cowants nato wanw all forces in 2014 in afghanistan, we talked about-to-him about that, don't ask, don't tell among other

things. >> you mentioned the president was over at the nato summit and made comments about what's happening with the tsa. will the administration, do you think at some point, they might need to step in, be a little more visible, say a little more to try to help the public calm a lot of these fears? there is outrage, i against that's a fair way to call t outrage over what's happening at the airports. >> yes, and certainly if the tsa is already complaining that its screeners, you know, are being, you know, people aren't being nice to the screeners, et cetera, but it's a very personal experience as you know, and not something that people do willingly, and a lot of people said the tsa should have explained this better. they should have prepared the public for something like this, but there's also lots of questions, is this really necessary? is this where limited funds ought to go, what about cargo ships, what about trains? what about any number of things? but if somebody is needed to kind of try to calm the public

and say listened, you know, unfortunately this say necessary part of the 21st century, certainly the president is the guy to do that, they may need to call him in again because they're about to hit a heavy traffic time in the airways for thanksgiving. >> this happened, maybe the tsa should have explained it better. i happened to be one of those who went through the enhanced patdown at an airport before the news came out necessarily that the enhanced patdowns were in place and it was a little jarring to go through it. you can obviously tell it's different but there's also and candy you remember, after 9/11, everybody, whoa, the government now needs to take over security at the airports, and now people are saying we need to go back to the private companies at the airports and your guest, john micah is starting the drumbeat. >> he is, but one of the things we're learning is he's actually talking about efficiency and saving money, because in the end, the tsa is going to set the regular dplagstio regulations. i'm not all together sure that

even if they're more efficient as micah claims that private firms are going to do anything that much differently than the tsa is doing. we'll find out. >> that's a good point. i don't know what that means, better customer satisfaction if you will. >> i don't know what that means either. we'll ask. >> candy, it is always, always good to see you and i mean it when i say it, this is one of the highlights of my sunday morning. >> me, too. >> we'll see you again. you can see candy, everybody, in about 16 minutes coming up at the top of the hour, 9:00 eastern, 6:00 pacific right here on cnn, jill carroll acan reca e of the union."

quarter to the top of the hour now for a twist on our "faces of faith" today. we love talking about football. >> yes we do. >> no doubt we have a "faces of faith" and you're here. must be football related. >> it is a little bit, two birds one stone kind of deal. we often talk about our love of college football on the show. recently i had the opportunity to speak to one of the true legends of the game, his name is robert bowden. you know him as bobby. he began his career in 1954, that career ended last season. although the playbooks, the players, the names, the uniforms have changed over the years, one thing that has remained a constant is his faith. he writes about that in a new book called "called to coach." reflections on life, faith and football. how much has faith played a part in this book and how much has it played a part in your coaching? >> it's the strongest part of my life, not that i'm so good but i

believe in it, you know, and it's -- i just know that when we go through life, we're going to face problems. we're going to face adversity, i don't care what business you're in. you're going to face it. >> what was your biggest struggle on the field? >> biggest struggles came when your players would get in trouble. you know, everybody would accuse me oh he don't kick them off the team when they do something wrong. no, i don't. i'm going to save them if i can. in coaching, i've had so many boys, a majority that don't have families, don't know what it's like to have a daddy, boys, can you imagine boys raised and there's not a male figure among them, everything is mother, mother, mother, mother, and so those kids a lot of them are looking for that dad and the coaches have to play that role. i used to tell my coaches, y'all might be the closest thing to a daddy these kids ever have, you

know. >> if there's someone who is tuning in across the nation thinking of starting a business, maybe trying to be a coach, maybe just trying to follow their dream. >> yes. >> and they're a little bit unsure, what advice would you give them? >> give them the advice that i give all the young men i coach or any lady who asks me about her son, i'd give them the same, i'd give them the same answer and it's kind of the theme of that book. number one, son, get your priorities in order. if you want to be a success in life, get your priorities in order. many times i've spoken to the national coaches association. they might be 2,000, 3,000 coaches all over the country there. one of the things i tell them is don't make football your god. because you are not going to win all your ball games, and you're going to need help from somebody a whole lot stronger than you before this thing's over or you ain't going to last. and so when i talk to young men it's the same thing. son, get your priorities in order, put god first in your

life, put your family second. not football. we're not ready for football yet. >> you know one of the amazing things that he mentioned do you recall tduring the interview on of the criticisms as head coach of florida state a lot of his players the reputation for some of their off field shenanigans. bowden's response was many of the young men came from situations where they did not have a father figure as you mentioned in the piece. you would never give up in your children, we would not give up on their players. he'd give them second chances. daddy bowden had serious punishment for the players, he really did, but his goal was to make them better people and he believes he was a success. >> that's a good way to put it, you're right we heard over the years criticism. he keeps letting these guys come back after they make mistakes. parents don't give up. >> you don't give up on your kids. >> after all of the success on the football field to hear him

say football is not that high on the list of priorities, great stuff. we got to get you involved in our "faces of faith" more often. coming up here when you depart this earth is that how you want to go out, make your final journey maybe in a giant chicken, a fish, a tortoise, a hammer? that's the way you want to go? >> absolutely. tortoise, sure >> a lot of people are choosing this way to make their final journey. financial need.

all right, 52 past the hour. take a look at that picture, folks or take a look at that one. what do you think you're seeing? i'm going to bring in our nadia bilchik to explain what i'm seeing. i can't believe it. they are what? >> coffins made by a company in ghana and going since the '50s and how this company started making coffins was the owner at the time had a mother who always wanted to travel and she never got to be on an airplane. he was a carpenter and used to make beautiful chairs. he made her a coffin as an airplane. that's a coffin of a fish for a fisherman. some are literal and some are figurative. that's a figurative, and that would be a snail so a chief would get buried in one as a snail. why? >> thank you. >> because a snail or tortoise goes very slowly before it arrives at its destination. >> okay. >> so the chief said he goes very slowly but always gets there. >> oh, come on. >> that would be somebody who loves motor vehicles, someone

who is fashionate about cars and this company in ghana is very, very successful. but look at the beauty, look at the detail. it's a celebration of life. >> okay but you said they've been around for years? >> this is the third generation they're doing this and that's the tortoise. >> why would somebody want them in. >> a chief, tortoises go very slowly but they're always getting to where they're going. this idea of a deliberate person so a lawyer might do a tortoise or a chief, and that would be a crab, probably a fisherman. >> okay. >> and there was a beautiful one of somebody had a lot of children, she might have a ch k chick chicken. a mechanic would have the wrench. >> how expensive are these things in. >> expensive and this particular, the wrench was exported to the netherlands for a couple, she was a piano teacher, she had a piano standing by for her funeral and the wrench was for the husband who say mechanic. steven covey in "the seven-habits of highly effective people" said begin with the end
