years the us is heading to the world cup finals. jade hernandez, ktvu channel 2 news. a day for people watching the soccer match, a dreary day and a damp forecast for mid-july. >> that is true. a lot of people sending e-mails and tweets saying what the heck is going on here. we just have a really big fog bank and a strong marine layer which has not only given us drizzle. there are reports of .04 and .05 in some locations. san francisco has had measurable drizzle for about three days in a row. san jose gets a little clearing down there. livermore is only 65 at noon, almost 70%. you can see the fog, but you can also see a breeze pushing the fog into the sacramento valley. it's rare. when it makes it that far you know we're maxed out. the temperatures are below average. it should be 88 in livermore,

cases to use our precious court resources. do not spend our tax dollars prosecuting cases like this. >> the da says he believes police acted appropriately and that marmin could have avoided the situation by cooperating in the first place. and us air said it welcomed the da's decision issuing a statement saying, mr. marmin could have resolved the situation quickly at the time of the incident. had he chosen to do so, we too believe our crew and employees acted professionally in dealing with the unfortunate situation. some scary stats coming out of a congressional hearing right now about airport security. there's been 25,000 security breaches at airports since 9/11. 14,000 of them involve passengers entering so-called limited access areas without permission, and 6,000 involve carry-on luggage and screening issues. those in charge of airport security are getting grilled by a congressional committee today. the leaders are saying they are frustrated with the number of breaches.
