this is the this is the "cbs morning news" for friday, october 17th, 2014. good morning. good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. well, this morning a dallas health care worker who may have handled a lab specimen from the liberian patient who died of ebola is in isolation on a cruise ship anchored in belize. the ship sailed from galveston, texas, august 12th. they say she has been self-monitoring and did not have direct contact with thomas duncan. she has shown no signs of the disease for 19 days, the maximum 21 days. president obama says he may appoint an ebola czar to head the administration's response to the virus. the first dallas nurse diagnosed with the disease is now being treated at the national institutes of health near washington. nina pham's colleagues showed

their support as she left texas health presbyterian hospital yesterday. she flew in a private jet from texas to the national institutes of health in maryland. her doctors say she is in good condition. mark albert is in bethesda. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. pham arrived here just before midnight. she landed at a small airport near here that had already closed to the public. meanwhile the hospital association along with the cdc will hold an ebola conference call for all u.s. hospitals later this morning. 26-year-old nina pham wearing protective gear was helped into an balance and taken to the national institutes of health in bethesda for treatment of ebola. hours earlier the nurse turned patient fought back tears as she thanked the medical staff who treated her at texas health presbyterian hospital. pham was diagnosed with ebola after caring for thomas eric duncan who died of the disease

last week. some nurses at texas health maintain the hospital was not prepared to deal with the virus. >> i saw a chaotic scene. it wasn't organized. it wasn't safe. no one really in charge. >> reporter: but in a statement the hospital defended its procedures yet again, saying it followed the frequently changing cdc guidelines and recommendations. officials at texas health had pham transferred here to nih because with about 75 employees being monitored for ebola symptoms, they were concerned the hospital had become overwhelmed. lawmakers for both parties are now calling on president obama to issue a travel ban. >> the travel ban is less effective than the measures that we are currently instituting. >> reporter: in the u.s. five major airports are now screening passengers arriving from west africa in an effort to stop ebola from spreading here at home. president obama has authorized the call-up of up to 4,000

reservists and national ground troopers to help fight the spread of ebola in west africa. also, meanwhile the cdc is reaching out to even more airline passengers, 750 who flew on the same airplane as that second infected texas nurse before she tested positive. anne-marie? >> all right. mark albert in texas. thank you, mark. that news triggered more precautions. a bridal shop she visited in akron on saturday was voluntarily closed, and people who visited the store should contact health officials. aside from the trip to the store, vinson spent the weekend with family members. eight of them are in voluntary confinement. last night vinson's family issued a statement. they say she followed all the protocols while treating the patient in dallas and right now she's trusting her doctors and

nurses as she is now the patient. as the number of americans being monitored for ebola has expanded, there's growing criticism of the government response. yesterday the head of the cdc faced tough questions on capitol hill. craig boswell has that part of the story. >> reporter: testifying before a house committee, the director of the cdc says he's confident ebola is not a significant public health threat in the u.s. >> if any become ill, we immediately isolate them so we can break the chain of transmissions. >> reporter: many lawmakers are doubtful after two nurses who were treated the parent contracted the patient. >> it would be an understatement to say that the response to the first u.s.-based patient with ebola has been mismanaged. >> reporter: there were also questions why the second nurse, amber vinson, was allowed to travel after saying she had a fever. >> i have not seen the transcript. our understanding is she reported no symptoms to us.

>> reporter: many lawmakers are pushing president obama to impose a travel back on three west african countries with the most recent cases, something the president has resisted so far. >> we need to send a signal now, our border is closed. >> if passengers are not allowed to come directly, there is a high likelihood they'll find another way to get here and we won't be able to track them. >> reporter: president obama says the focus should be fighting the outbreak in west africa. thursday he authorized the pentagon to call up the national guards. craig boswell, cbs news, capitol hill. hurricane gonzalo is headed directly toward bermuda this morning. the dangerous storm is expected to hit the island later today with damage winds and a life-threatening storm surge. the island is already getting pounded with high surf and strong winds. meteorologist eric fisher of our boston station wbz has the latest. >> well, gonzalo certainly a storm to be reckoned with. this is probably going to end up being the worst hurricane to strike bermuda in at least a

decade. it's starting its slow weakening trend. it's a large storm system and i has a lot of large surf to go along with it. the wave heights near the core are approaching 40 feet. this is likely going brick a storm surge into bermuda of at least ten feet. a storm surge always a deadly element. in terms of the track, as we head through the day on friday, it's either right over the island or just to the west. that's about the worst placement you can ask for and likely as a cat 3. this will be as destructive as hurricane fabian back in 2003 expecting some long duration power outages, structural damages, and bermuda is a hilly island, meaning some of those winds can actually increase as they move out over the higher elevations. after that it races to the north and east toward the canadian maritime. not the only storm we're watching. we also have tropical storm ana which is south and east to the hawaiian chain. staying at a cat one hurricane. the track has shifted a little

farther southward, so bringing heavy rain across the island chain as we head through the weekend. likely not nearly as impactful as what we're expecting out of gonzalo. i'm meteorologist eric fisher for cbs news. final arguments are expected today in oscar pistorius's sentencing hearing. pistorius, the south african paralympic star faces up to 15 years in prison for the negligent kill of his girlfriend. prison officials say if he's sentenced to prison time, pistorius will be assigned to the hospital wing in one of south africa's toughest prisons. coming up on the "morning news," apple unleashes the skinny new ipad as the fbi talks about the unbreakable encryption of smartphones. first, though, a cleaning job way up in the sky. this is the "cbs morning news." job way up in the sky. this is the "cbs morning news." ...we're going to need you on the runway.

the new software is a popular choice for consumers, but bob orr reports that it's a big problem for fighting terrorism and crime. >> reporter: apple has been unveiling a new generation of devices with bigger screens, sharper cameras, and faster processors, but it's apple's new privacy protections that worry law enforcement. the latest operating system from the tech giant and competing software from google allow people to permanently lock their smartphones. only the user knows the security code. apple and google say they can't break that code, and neither can police even with a court order. fbi director james comey warned that this could allow criminals and terrorists to permanently hide their files. >> it's the equivalent of a closet that can't be opened, a safe deposit box that can't be opened, a safe that can never be cracked. >> reporter: the new privacy features come in response to a

backlash. in marketing its new system apple openly boasts about unbreakable encryption saying we wouldn't be able to comply with a wiretap order even if we wanted to. and then a more direct response to the fbi warning, google issued this statement saying, people previously used safes and combination locks to keep their information secure. now they use encryption. but comey says this is about more than protecting the rights of the phone user. >> i suggest to you that homicide cases could be stalled, suspects walked free, child exploitation not discovered and prosecuted, justice may be denied because of a locked phone or an encrypted device. >> reporter: comey's asking smartphone manufacturers to take a step back and change course, but google and apple are complying with current law and say they're simply reacting to the public's demand for more privacy protections. bob orr, cbs news, washington. when we return, thursday night's nfl matchup is decided in the final seconds.
