but in this case, the security precautions at the airport really worked. and law enforcement was able to avert what could have been a threat to the aircraft and the passengers on board. investigators say this is mark muffley, caught on lehigh valley international airport's surveillance cameras monday pulling two black pieces of luggage, and allegedly booked to fly on allegiant airlines flight 201 bound for orlando. according to court documents, muffley never got on that flight, but he did check one of the bags. a tsa screening found a circular compound approximately 3 inches in diameter hidden in the lining of the baggage with two fuses attached, plus a mixture of flash powder used in commercial grade fireworks. authorities paged muffley over the airport's public address system, but he left the airport and went home. a bag tag with his name on it helped investigators track him down and arrest him.

>> those baggage officers that screened that checked bag and certainly it alarmed. and conducted their full open bag search. it led to some other concerns which led to a series of protocols to be implemented. and those protocols seem to have worked in this case to perfection. >> and jeff pegues is back with us. it does appear that those protocols worked. we just heard about that alarm that was triggered. what did they find? what does that mean? >> even though what they found was maybe not rigged to explode, it could have done enough damage to the plane and the passengers on board because it's the powder that they found. that could have been incendiary. >> all right, jeff pegues with that breaking news. thank you so much. let's turn to the deadly winter storm in california's sierra nevada. more than 5 feet of snow fell in some areas, shutting down major roadways, knocking out power to tens of thousands and stranding residents in their homes. cbs' jonathan vigliotti is there.
