we don't have to do this again in the next ten years or ever. >> reporter: the atf and fbi are both on site here, helping local law enforcement with their investigation. and investigators say terrorism was unlikely. though they have not completely ruled it out. the gun purchased by moseley and used in the shooting was purchased legally. wounded victims are recovering at a hospital. anthony, they are expected to survive. >> thanks, mola. a florida college student is in custody after a security breach at a florida airport. 22-year-old nishal sankat is charged with attempting to steal a plane. tony dokoupil. >> reporter: good morning. he was studying aviation management. now, according to the faa, he had received a commercial

pilot's license back in january but besides being 22 and a student, he was not qualified to fly this type of plane. police in florida are trying to determine what 22-year-old nishal was planning to do after he boarded a commercial airliner undergoing maintenance early thursday morning. >> he was a student pilot from the area. he would be familiar with the air field. >> reporter: authorities say the student pilot drove to the curb outside the airport around 2:00 a.m. and left his car running. he hopped a barbed wire fence and boarded a plane sitting near a hangar. >> the individual was confronted as soon as he was on the aircraft. the employee who was on that aircraft actually took the appropriate action and escorted him off of the aircraft. >> reporter: but after he was dragged from the plane, he broke free, running back toward the jet. soon after, police took him into custody. >> within two minutes of creating a problem, we stopped this guy from getting in the air. >> reporter: this is only the latest security breach involving

a commercial airliner. last month, a luggage handler died after taking control of an empty jet at seattle tacoma international airport. he conducted a number of dangerous maneuvers before crashing. sankat, from the republic of trinidad and to baggo, was studying in florida on a visa. he was not armed at the time but police searched his car for explosives before towing it away. >> we're obviously going to review all of our security. you can rest assured that we believe in this instance our security worked just fine. >> reporter: police say they searched sankat's home and confiscated his electronics but at this time authorities say there's no evidence to indicate a connection to terrorism, bianna. >> tony, thank you. only on "cbs this morning," we're hearing for the first time from the family of an accused russian spy. 29-year-old maria had been in jail in virginia since july 15th. she was charged with conspiracy and acting as a foreign agent. now her father is sharing his

side of the story from her hometown in siberia. >> we promote gun rights. >> reporter: maria but tina was regular at gun shows in the u.s. before being charged as a russian spy this summer. over e-mail, he told me the charges against his daughter are not true. that she came to america to study. prosecutors claim she was actually part of a covert russian influence campaign. gaining access to an extensive network of u.s. persons in position, to influence political activities. according to the fbi, her focus was on gun lobbyists and conservative politicians. including national rifle association ceo wayne la pierre. and former pennsylvania senator rick santorum. >> maria butina. >> reporter: she was here on a student visa to study international relations. her father claims that's why she reached out to political figures, not to spy on them. prosecutors say butina

infiltrated those social circles using a romantic relationship with republican erickson. butina told me his family has known erickson since 2014. >> good morning all. >> reporter: he sent us these videos of himself, maria's mother and grandmother wishing erickson a happy birthday last year. butina says his daughter's relationship with erickson is genuine and that fate brought them together. butina faces up to 15 years in prison. last week, she was denied a request to be released into house arrest. in that same hearing, prosecutors backed off their earlier claims that butina traded sex for access. no date for her trial has been set. her father over the past month or so, and he called her an extraordinary girl who was raised in a very ordinary town and ordinary family. >> very different picture than what the authorities here are portraying. >> could it be something, bianna, that the dad doesn't know about his daughter?

27 years after anita hill testified during the clarence thomas confirmation. here are some of the questions she answered about her claim that thomas sexually harassed her. >> can you tell the committee what was the most embarrassing of all the incidents that you have alleged? >> how reliable is your testimony in october of 1991 on events that occurred eight, ten years ago? >> i've got determine what your motivation might be. are you a scorned woman? >> i would think that these things that you describe are so repug nant, so ugly, so obscene that you would never have talked to him again, and that will -- that is the most contradictory

and puzzling thing for me. >> "new york times" investigative reporter jodi kantor joins to us discuss the lessons learned from the hearing. she cowrote sexual allegations against harvey weinstein which fueled the me too movement. the times won a pull litser is prize for that reporting. she is also the cbs news contributor and joins us at the table. you look at that video and it makes you wince. you look at her face and the questions she had to answer, is this a case of deja-vu all over again? >> here we are almost a year after the me too movement caught fire in the world and it seems like we're returning to the original ground zero of these supreme court nominations. and the question to watch for in the next week is this a repeat of the anita hill dynamic? which bithe way neither side wants. the republican senators don't want to look like clueless and i sensitive men, including a woman. they may end up that way anyway. and certainly what dr. ford's

lawyers have suggested is that she doesn't want to be subjected to that kind of treatment either. >> and of course we all remember the anita hill hearings and we were talking about them, that's all the nation could talk about for weeks on end. we seem to be in such a fast-paced news cycle, though. remember the anonymous op-ed just a few weeks ago, no one's talking about that now. could that be one of the reasons republicans want to get this vote through quickly, hoping that the storyline does change a week or two from now or do you think this one sticks? >> well, i think they have a lot of reasons for want doing this very quickly. but on the other side, dr. ford's lawyers are essentially arguing this needs to be done in some sort of fair and sensitive way. now, the question is, what that really looks like, right? >> yeah. >>t's lioth sup go along. >> anita hill wrote in an op-ed piece that the committee has, quote, learned little from the thomas hearing much less the more recent me too movement. how much do you think things have shifted? >> i think things have shifted considerably in the last year.

and also in the year since the clarence thomas confirmation hearings. for one thing, this -- this is hire discussion is about an alleged incident that took place in high school, an alleged violation that took place in high school spot it's really interesting that we're now discussing that kind of behavior on the public stage. i also think the response to dr. ford is very different than it was to anita hill. there is -- she has been attacked. she has been threatened, but there's also been a lot of sensitivity and sympathy and she's being hailed by some people as a hero for coming forward. the thing we see again and again that never seems to change is that it is so hard for women to come forward. and dr. ford is -- dr. christine blasey ford is something who struggles with the decision about whether to go public or not. >> she has a lot of support and so does he and they both tell very different stories. >> we should find out that she's also getting death threats. >> yeah, exactly. >> and she's being terrorized. >> so is he. it's a nasty situation on both

sides. what are you look for, we know he's going to testify and it looks like she is too. how do you determine who's telling the truth here? >> well, here's my cautious prediction. i think it's possible that his testimony may be even more dramatic than his and sfernl there's any cross-examination that may be true. because what we can basically see is that she will get up and tell the same story that she told to the "washington post," which is a story that we already know. however, he's issued this kind of sweeping blanket denial, and there are a lot of questions that are going to be asked about him, you know, how familiar were you in high school, really this party didn't happen at all, the allegation is that you were very drunk. if you were drunk how would you remember anyway. >> and he has a frid w admits he was a black out drunk. >> the friend says -- >> allegedly i should say. >> the friend says he doesn't want to speak up. could he be compelled to in some way, et cetera, et cetera. so my cautious prediction,

because none of us know what will happen in the next week, is that his testimony could be even more riveting than hers. >> thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. >> at cac cuezation against kavanaugh is getting interest of people across the

your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. don't let another morning go by without talking to your rheumatologist about xeljanz xr.

today's morning rounds, health experts are urging the estimated 45 million americans who wear contact lenses, not me, to change their habits. the cdc says sleeping in contacts can increase the risk of an eye infection by 6 to 8 times. about one third of contact lens wearers say they sleep or nap in their contacts. dr. christopher starr is an ophthalmologist. good morning, dr. starr. >> good morning. >> why is it so dangerous to sleep in your contacts? >> well, the risk of infection is very real. when you sleep in your contact lenses, oxygen permeation goes down, bacteria-like damp, dark places with no oxygen and no movement. when your blinking during the day, you're cleaning your contact lenses throughout the day. when you sleep you're not blinking, the bacteria can grow and affect the cornea. it's very serious. >> you can't swim in them either. >> water is bad, pond water, pool water, shower water.

take out your contact lenses before you swim and in the morning, take a shower and then put them in. >> even a short nap you should take them out? >> you really should. i know people do it, but it's recommended to never sleep in your contact lenses. >> and the way you dispose of them, too, also makes a difference. i never thought about this. >> daily disposable contact lenses are great. they're probably safer. you don't haven't to worry about solutions and cleaning and all this. 45 million people wear contact lenses. a third of those wear daily disposables and 25% throw them out in the toilet or the sink. that actually adds about 10 tons of plastic into the water supply each year. and that plastic ends up -- >> what are we supposed to do? i always think i toss it in the toilet. >> yeah. i used to do that, too. until this new study came out. >> or wash in the sink. >> i used to do it as well. now i will never do it again. the reason is because all that plastic ends up in our food. it's a pollutant to the

environment but also to us because it gets into our food. so the what to do is you throw them in the garbage or in a recycling bin. it's plastic. there are some actual programs for recycling actual contact lenses as well. >> clearly you have to be responsible with your contacts. >> yes. >> which begs the question, what age should people start wearing contacts? teenagers? >> yeah. actually 10 years old is a good starting point for kids who are mature and who will not make a lot of the mistakes that we're talking about. >> do you know any mature 10-year-old? >> i have one. is she mature enough to wear contacts? probably not. fortunately she doesn't need them yet. >> halloween is coming up next month. a lot of people wear color contact costume lenses. >> first of all, they are illegal in the united states. if you see them on a shelf, they should be reported quite frankly. do not put those in your eye. the risk of infection goes up 16 fold with those costume contact

lenses. they are terrible. do not put them in your eyes. >> good. they freak me out. >> plan a different costume. >> it's scary when you open the door and there's somebody in there. >> call the cops. >> voters are closely watching the supreme court confirmation showdown, and the claim that nominee brett kavanaugh attacked a girl in high school. ahead, four nevada voters debate the accusation and whether the fbi should investigate. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. >> announcer: cbs "morning rounds" sponsored by vision works. we're here to help you.

got some helpful news for you this morning. starting today americans can help fight identity theft by freezing their credit free of charge at the three main credit monitoring services. just over a year ago, a hack of one of those credit services

equifax affected nearly 150 million people. it exposed personal information including names, social security numbers, and birth dates making people susceptible to the risk of fraud and identity theft. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is here with more on this. great to have you at the table in the is welcome news, but i want to go back to how people responded to the equifax hack because only 14% of americans froze their credit. why only 14? >> because it's sort of a hard process. so we now know that there -- in some states it cost $10 to $30 to freeze and you freeze your credit, but the process of freezing it can involve getting a pin, sometimes it involved talking on the phone with a representative because their web sites went down. so a lot of people were thwarted in their effort to try to do this really important thing, which is lockdown your credit file to make sure that no thieves can get in there and open credit in your name. but, again, the process was so onerous that just 14% of people

froze their credit. we saw 150 million people impacted by this, you would have thought many more would have frozen their credit. >> so this makes it cheaper but not easier. >> it does not make it much easier, and that's going to be a big hurdle. we are the consumers, we're the product. we're not the client. last year so many people said but i didn't give my information. does not matter. if you want to borrow money, you've got to have a credit file and that credit file really is yours to protect. freezing is really the most important step you can take. the problem is, if you have to go to three of the different agency, go through a whole process, and then you have to unfreeze it if you have to borrow money for a car or a house or you're a small business owner. it can be a pain in the neck and it is still a pain in the neck. >> but you think it's a good idea to freeze your account? >> i think it's the best way to lock things down. people think i'll do a credit alert. that's just a little bitty step you can take.

it can last up to a year or 90 days, but it's not a strong enough protection. we're trying to encourage you to be responsible. it's your data is going to be used however these companies want to use it in terms of selling it. so you've got to be very careful. >> you find out someone's used your personal data to open a fraudulent account, what do you do? >> the first thing go to the ftc website, there's an amazing amount of information there. you have to file an affidavit. you have to go through the process. you may even want to go to the local police. you're then going to use that information to lockdown your credit file. and, yes, you must freeze, again, if you want to borrow money, you can always unfreeze it, but freezing is the best protection you will find. >> okay. it's free but still not that easy to do. >> not so easy. >> we'll take the free part. >> do it anyway. >> and i love your necklace i've been staring at it. >> thank you. ahead, why brad pitt's charity is going to court over leaky homes built for hurricane katrina victims. your local news is coming up

in the middle of a two-days political trip. ed o'keefe went there to ask four voters -- two democrats and two republicans -- about the midterm elections and the claim that supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh assaulted a woman in high school. ed joins us from las vegas. >> reporter: everyone back in washington is trying to sort out the accusations against brett kavanaugh, we found people here are closely watching the back-and-forth and expect to hear soon from both sides in publ public. >> i think it should be investigated. none of us are the person that we were in high school but on the other hand it was very important to my husband and myself when we raised our child to tell him that no means no and you respect women, don't abuse women. >> so i think that the issue

with brett kavanaugh is that as a judge and as a justice he's going to be ruling on sexual assault cases so we need to know ant this because maybe he secretly doesn't think sexual assault is a problem and that might affect his ruleings. >> i do believe she should have -- dr. ford should have an opportunity to explain her side. i believe mr. kavanaugh should have the opportunity to explain his side but the continual tugging and pulling and everything is political gamesmanship. >> i think she needs to be heard out and i think it's something everybody needs to hear both sides of the story and obvious ly it's up to the senate to decide who they believe and what they believe. >> do you want the fbi involved or should they share their views and let the senators decide? >> my view is that yes, the fbi should be involved.

>> you're probably too young to remember but i was around with the anita hill investigation and she was not treated well. >> she was investigated by the fbi previously. i don't know that bringing them in now makes sense. >> i think you can't ignore the momentum of the me too movement right now and that that might have played a factor and given her -- >> the support she needs. >> right. >> because i think we see that with other cases where women may have felt like they were alone or not empowered or may have been shot down or dismissed. py.
