7:15 am
bargain fares. over the last five years the average cost has gone up almost 11% in the summer is no exception. part of the reason for the increase is airline consolidation. but also airlines are adding fewer seats. if you talk to the airline industry, they say don't blame them. blame the government. according to airlines for america, over the past 13 years, base domestic air fares have grown 15% while taxes have soared 46%. the group says higher fares are necessary in order to cover rising costs, maintain service levels and to acquire equipment. when you combine higher fares, fees on bags and service reductions, increasingly it's the passenger getting less bang for the buck. for example, american airlines has announced it will drop in-flight meals for some passengers on most flights under two hours and 45 minutes. >> jeff, thank you. former white house press secretary james brady is

7:37 am
search warrant. and lo and behold on the mobile device and on the tablet there are images of child pornography. >> so what exactly do they do to try to find it? >> it's a fascinating process, charlie. you know, lots of law enforcement agencies throughout the country have been looking for algorithms that could help them out with things not only like child pornography, but to identify chatter of terrorism and disturbances, keywords. what google has is hashing. what this algorithm does, it's actually like a fingerprint that it looks at a picture. and it can tell if a picture is of a child. and when it finds that, it gives up the information, as it should. >> so they're not physically going through your e-mail one by one? it's flagged in some kind of way? some people would say, rikki, listen, if you get a child predator off the streets i'm okay with that. >> i think most people would say that because it say child
7:38 am
predator. what happens here the debate from the child advocacy experts say wait a minute, just because i have a google account or search engine does that mean everything i do is fair game. if you look at google's terms of use agreement it sure is fair game. one of the things we do have to think about, though, when people talk about privacy, what about consenting adults? what about sexual texts? what about people who exchange information whether by photograph or by other means, by words? >> so what's his defense in this? >> his defense, when he goes forward with this, he has two choices. he's going to say, shall i plead guilty? or shall i have my lawyer do what we call a motion to suppress, which is to say the seizure of this information is the result of a violation of the fourth amendment, unreasonable search and seizure because google should not be the policemen of the world.

8:36 am
>> and what's the threat to the global community? >> well, i think the threat to the global community, say for us, for example, in the united states, may not be so great. but the threat to the urban populations in africa looks profound to me. >> i interviewed the head of the centers for disease control and he said we can stop ebola. but they're having trouble stopping it in africa, right? it's very different than the united states in terms of what they can do and its spreading. you warned when it gets to a major city like lagos in nigeria, what could happen? 20 million people in one city. >> right. you know, a major tropical supercity like lagos has 21 million people in it. so it's practically the population of texas. put that into city. take away access to medical care. take away sanitation. people crowded in a pool. and what you have is a potential

big problem. you know, i wonder whether -- this is a question worth asking that can't be answered. is ebola virus in the process of making itself immortal in the human species? what that means is, is it establishing the ability to move from one person to the other. now, the experts are telling me they don't think that's going to happen but nobody really knows. when you think about the nature of a virus. and with tiny particles. it has the kind of intelligence in a biological sense. it's not aware the way we humans are. but the greatest ambition of a virus, if you can call it that is to make itself immortal. and it does that by establishing itself in a host. and then moving forever from host to host, in that species. >> richard, you first learned in the early '90s you called it
8:38 am
ebola is like jack the ripper it destroys in eight to ten days that it takes ten years to do that is destroys with medical efficiency. what do you think about the medical response that we're seeing today? >> the medical response has been heroic, it's been unbelievable. and in particular, the doctors and nurses are taking casualties. they're dying of ebola. and the people who are on the front line are for the most part, not the westerners but the african doctors and nurses confronting this virus in absolutely horrific conditions. they're wearing these space suits. bio hazard suits. they're well equipped but you've got wards with 30 people with ebola virus in beds crowded together. one doctor, one nurse, wearing space suits but the virus is somehow getting through their gear anyway. and they're dying. you have people who are working for maybe $25 a week in pay.
8:39 am
and they're going into these places and they are pretty sure they're going to die. >> but it is said that it is passed from one person to another by the exchange of body fluids. what does that include? >> well, let me give you an example. one of the -- it's thought that one of the principal portals of entry, doorway, into the human body is actually the eyelid of the eye. and if you get a tiny amount of ebola flood or some particles of that virus on your tinger tip, most people most of the time touch their eyelid once in a while. you rub your eyelid. and the virus is exquisitely transmittable through that eye. and it has this ability to replicate explosively once it gets inside human tissue. >> boy, the more you hear, the scarier it is. thank k you, richahard prestoto. > gooood to o be hehere.

he was such a thoughtful, you know, young man. i liked the way his mind worked and everything. you have to think, who are you going to be ten years from now? what kind of a teenager are you going to be. >> he's going through experiences in his own life too. >> yeah. a lot of it has to do with his family, too. i liked his parents. they're both artists. it's like a family decision. we all became a family. i always joke, it's kind of like determining the next dalai lama. it's kind of like, are you the chosen one? >> i'm looking at ellar 16 years old. did you have any idea that you'd number a movie for the next 12 years of your life? >> there's no way. i understood as much as i could. 12 years is a very difficult thing to wrap your head around. >> actually, some people say time is the star of the movie? >> definitely, truly, how time passes through our lives. you can see it. happening in the movie. a cumulative effect of watching 12 years go by through the
8:47 am
characters' lives. the parents continue to grow up, too. it's not just the kids growing up, it's the parents changing. >> did you see it differently at the halfway mark than when you saw it at the beginning? >> yeah, the investment felt more. at the beginning it's the idea. it's the concept on how to make a movie. to see it actually working, when he gets mature, starts to bring more to the project. more to collaborate with, brings himself with it. >> is it over? >> too soon to tell. >> i was wondering if you did, ellar, become more collaborative. i heard that richard said he didn't want me to do in the movie what i didn't do in real life? >> yeah, you're kind of there, along for the ride. i was engaged a little as a kid. but as i got older, and the character required more input i was getting more input, too. >> like the first kiss and conversations with your girlfriend? >> yeah, absolutely.
8:48 am
he made sure that i had at least interacted with girls by that point and kind of said, it's time to be an with a girl for the first time. think what about you're saying. >> and did this change the way you think about acting? >> i think so. yeah, it's an incredible approach to be constantly comparing it to my own experience and using it as kind of my own journey to understand what the character is going through. even if the experiences aren't direct. just copying things from my life. but there's always something to compare it to. >> it was really wonderful. i've never seen anything, anything like that. i left feeling very full about the whole process. congratulations. >> thank you. >> it's called "boyhood." it's in theaters right now. run to the theater. run. from a boy to a baby, why new parents may want to consult katy perry, i love this.
