chief john pistole. >> look at how can we do the most effective screening in the least invasive way knowing there's a trade-off, trade-off between security and privacy. >> richard, a blogger with "the guardian" joins me now. good morning. good to see you. you say you don't understand what all of the fuss is about, why not? >> well, i appear to be the only person in america who does think that. i've been through airports a lot, i've been through airport screening all over the world. i've been patted down a number of times. i've been searched on a number of occasions. and i don't think it's so bad. and, frankly, given the level of security threat that not just america, but other countries face, it seems like the least i can do is to allow myself to be searched or patted down. >> but the question is, is this the most effective use of time and money? we've been hearing, i think you

almost call them horror stories, breast cancer survivor and a bladder cancer survivor who say they were humiliated by aggressive pat-downs. one of the breast cancer survivors, who, by the way, was a flight attendant, said they made her take out a prosthetic breast and show it. she was very upset. acolumnist said his daughter a teenager in a wheelchair, is get what he called an offensive pat-down. how do we strike a healthy balance between making sure that we're checking the people who could potentially pose a problem and those who it would seem most obviously do not? >> well, it's useful to have this debate and it's always healthy to discuss these things because otherwise it's very difficult to draw a line in this situation. but you know, we're talking about tens of millions of people every year who go through airport security screening. of course, is it perfect?

it's not. is it the best the tsa can do? i have no idea but i imagine they probably think it is. all i can say is that from the perspective of an individual traveler going through these sort of security checkpoints, is it really so bad to give up, you know, a few minutes to security because we think of the issues involved and what can happen and we all know what can happen. it really seems a pretty minimal commitment to give, i think. >> richard adams, thanks so much for coming on. unbelievable numbers that provide a fascinating look into the popularity and, at the same time, sometimes widespread disdainer for sarah palin. new quinnipiac poll out shows president obama would beat her by eight points if the presidential election were held today. it also shows her beating every other republican in the field. if you check out google's numbers, look at this, sarah palin gets 16 times more web traffic than mitt romney gets,

14 times more than newt gingrich, 38 times more than mike huckabee, 87 types more web traffic than tim pawlenty. i think her daughter gets more web traffic than tim pawlenty. in 59 million people watching her at -- add in the nearly 5 million people watching this her new hit tlc show, it's a political junkie's dream, or nightmare depending on what you think of sarah palin. msnbc chief correspondent norah o'donnell is on top of all things palin. you're not at a loss for things to talk about these days. >> reporter: that's absolutely true, though i love that you say her daughters get more web traffic than tim pawlenty. >> i think so, and todd, too. >> reporter: exactly. well, that's why mike huckabee was in iowa this weekend saying that she would be certainly a force if she plans to run for president. you know, it so happens just as she's got this book coming out, there's a lot of controversy and

nothing like controversy to help sell a book. but i have to say, just as she's about to embark on this cross-country tour and may run for president we heard from barbara bush who says she likes palin but hopes she stays home. >> whoa. nice shot. >> reporter: in episode two of "sarah palin's alaska" they are at home on the range. >> missed it. >> dang it! >> keep shooting. don't retreat, just reload. >> a couple girlfriends threw me my baby shower right here in this shooting range. a baby shower. i love to share that story because it gets the liberaled all riled up. >> reporter: america's beloved and outspoken former first lady barbara bush seeps to throw cold water on palin's political ambitions in an undercoming interview on "larry king live "s. >> i think she's very happy in

alaska and shoep she'll stay there. >> reporter: even "the weekly standard" is going negative on palin. the article says palin's show has secured her a spot in the reality tv star pan thesian and good for palin but no compelling reason to suggest the rest of us should tag along behind like it or not, sarah palin and her family are everywhere. >> gosh, you guys. >> reporter: tonight the dancing with the stars finale, bristol is competing to win it all. this thanksgiving week is no holiday for the palin household. on tuesday, the vote for bristol. >> this is as much a vote for sarah palin as it is a vote for bristol palin. >> reporter: that very same day, sarah palin's book "america by heart" hits bookstores and embarks on her cross-country tour, 16 stops in 16 states. >> reporter: the book tour will take sarah palin twice iowa site

of the first presidential caucus and mike huckabee was in iowa and said if palin wants to run for president, quote, she may run away with it. >> this is so fascinating, norah. thank you so much. i want to bring in jeff, elise, kelly. i guess the problem, elise, is that for all of the complaining that's sarah palin has done, sometimes i think legitimately about the things people about her you can't go back against barbara bush now, can you? >> i think that -- i agree with barbara bush on this one. i think the palins have become the kardashians of politics and i mean it's really a pretty apt comparison. she isn't dealing with substance. she's dealing with a reality show that's a great marketing tool, allows her to give this faux portrayal of what her life in alaska and how she's a real person. the fact of the matter is, her daughter's on ""dancing with the stars," not what normal people are able to do. >> the more people bash her, the

stronger she gets really. barbara bush might say i think she should stay in alaska but other people would say, no, barbara we want to see her. she gets bonzo ratings on tlc. her daughter could win it all. she's neither a dancer or a star. i interviewed andrea mitchell said she got the bug in 2008, once you get the taste of it it's hard to get rid of it. >> nobody can dispute the fact, jeff, this is a woman who has not just a high regular ncognit factor but she's got the it factor. she may annoy you, but i think there are a lot of people now who were frankly mocking her two years ago don't you think are taking her more seriously now? >> no, i don't. i think she has mastered the politics of personality but i think as elise said she hasn't mastered the politics of policy.

she'll continue to be incredibly popular as long as her daughter's on "dancing with the stars" and that's a conspiracy in itself. if we think that she can dance better than brandy, something is wrong. but we -- but this book tour, her doing this show, is really about her maximizing her personality. but the moment she begins to talk about policy, the numbers begin to drop. >> you know, that's -- a lot of people had said that after some things happened during the campaign that she was done and yet here she still is. what do make of two new polls, obama beats palin 48-40%, but norah, palin beats rest of the gop field in the primary. this points out a problem, doesn't it, for the republicans? >> exactly. sarah palin is the most popular among the republican possible presidential doencontenders but most divisive in terms of a general election candidate. she would have to happen her

appeal to independents and democrats in order to be elected president. and so that's one of the challenges that she has. the other second challenge, i think that she has is, can she start talking more about policy? we know that she garners a great deal of attention whether it's on her reality shows and is a different kind of candidate and is popular within the base. can she start talking about policy issues in a substantial way and sort of broaden them beyond her own wheelhouse of issues that she talks about generally. and that's the challenge for her. >> norah, good to see you. jeff, elise, kelly, you'll all be back. more than five years after she disappeared, forensic experts could determine whether the human jawbone found if aruba is that of missing teenager natalee holloway. scientists are conducting dna tests on the badly decayed bone. the 18-year-old, remember, went missing dur a graduation trip. nbc's michelle kosinski has more from aruba. >> reporter: by some twist of

chance, tourists strolling the beach spotted it, out of place enough in this paradise. could it really be part of a human jawbone, weathered and old, and still holding a single tooth? somehow it ended up here after days of rough surf. now authorities and family of natalee holloway are anxiously awaiting the answers more than five years after she disappeared without a trace. could it be hers? natalie's mother beth says it is no good answer whether it is or isn't but no answer at all is the most unbearable. and that has been this family's pain. in this case, experts say the tooth should hold valuable evidence. >> the nuclear dna analysis will tell you specifically and unequivocally without any question whatsoever whether it is that individual. >> reporter: back in 2005,

national nation natalie's family searched. >> i'm not leaving without her. >> reporter: she left a bar with three local boys, believed to be last in the company of joran van der sloot who claimed he left her asleep on a beach not far from where the bone was found. he is now in a peruvian jail, charged with murdering a young woman on the five-year anniversary of natalee's disappearance. >> it's no secret he holds a key to where she is and what happened to her. >> reporter: everything that has turned up over the years, blond hairs a human torso, rocks that someone thought look like a skeleton, begs the question, could it be natal. ee? so far, nothing. the jawbone lying in the sand seems different to some. and authorities testing in holland asked for natalee's dental records. some believe scientists would have ruled it out if it wasn't her. they don't have results yet,

even to know whether the bone is human and can't say when this possible piece of an even bigger mystery will be solved. >> that was nbc's michelle kosinski reporting. if we get word on that, we will bring it to you right away. new details terrorists are looking to do it on the cheap. how more low budget attack like last month's failed mail bomb plot are growing and what's being done about it. going to grandma's house is more expensive this year. >> driving good disdances in the next few days to spend time with family. how much we'll have to pay this year, though, more to get to the turkey dinner.precise relievin. it blocks pain signals for deep relief precisely where you need it most. precise. only from the makers of tylenol. ♪

new threats from al qaeda vowing a barrage of smaller attacks to, quote, bleed the

enemy to death. in latest edition of the terrorists english language magazine "inspire" claims the plot cost $4200 and took three months to plan. they're encouraging other groups to launch the inexpensive attacks an operation they call operation hemorrhage. senior partner at flashpoint global partners. hop how worrisome is this? they give an outline, how to, how to go about all of this. >> what's worrisome about all of this in the wake of the cargo bomb plot, we've shut off the cargo link from yemen, we've stopped accepting packages from yemen from u.p.s. and fedex. in the latest claim of responsibility what al qaeda said is the next phase for them is so send technology out to all different al qaeda factions all around the world so that al qaeda in north africa, al qaeda in iraq, al qaeda wherever, can create their own packages and send them out.

the idea being, it's not just one country, it's not just one path, just by shutting off the cargo flights from yemen to the united states, all we've done is temporarily disabled what they're trying to do. in future, we're going to have to look for flights coming from all over the place. >> let us not forget security didn't stop this. this started with intelligence. >> right. >> what they're talking about the magazine which, by the way, looks very slick, talking about doing it cheaply, quickly and with less than six, in this case, fewer people involved, the harder it is for intelligence to get a handle on it. >> less than six people. less than three months of preparation. if this is correct, there's not a lot of warning signs here. what's disturbing is the idea that al qaeda says in this claim, look, we're not trying to kill millions of people here what we're trying to do is bring down the aviation industry. you want to protect yourself, you better understand right now we are targeting airplanes right now, in the wake of al mutallab,

all we how to of is ways of bringing down planes. when we look at security issue, the issue of pat-downs and whatnot, having the idea of civil liberties in mind is a good idea but we have to be cognizant al qaeda is actively trying to bring down civilian planes right now, and if we're not prepared for that they will succeed. that was their whole point in releasing this. we already have succeeded. they pointed at the u.p.s. crash back in september and say we did that and we'll do it again. >> always good to see you, evan. thank you so much for coming. would prince charles pass up being king if it's what the royal subjects wanted? copd doesn't just make it hard to breathe... it makes it hard to do a lot of things. and i'm a guy who likes to go exploring ... get my hands dirty... and try new things. so i asked my doctor if spiriva could help me breathe better. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled maintenance treatment

for both forms of copd... which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva keeps my airways open... to help me breathe better for a full 24 hours. and it's not a steroid. spiriva does not replace fast acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. stop taking spiriva and call your doctor right away if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, have vision changes or eye pain... or have problems passing urine. tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, problems passing urine or an enlarged prostate... as these may worsen with spiriva. also discuss the medicines you take... even eye drops. side effects include dry mouth, constipation and trouble passing urine. i'm glad i'm taking spiriva everyday because breathing better is just better. ask your doctor if once-daily spiriva is right for you.

his can take every single person on, good luck to him because he can't. we hear in the british press who have a tell rens against certain paparazzi the rest of the world are not going to feel the same way. bottom line, why should they be sort of not given the opportunity to promote this as a wonderful celebration that it is. i think he's misjudging this particular celebration right now. >> i don't know. i feel bad for her, kelly. obviously, now she's going to be a public figure. but there ought to be somewhere a line where she can at least go out with her friends or i don't know. >> i know you wish that would be the case. >> and it's not. >> and it's not. but the difference here is, you know, it was striking in a way, looking at her stepping out on to the royal stage at 28, already had her education, had a little bit of a career. so much more grounded really than princess diana when she was in her teens. >> she comes from a stable family. we know diana had difficulty as a child. >> obviously, she thinks it's

thompson. people were saying, well, this must mean the church is looking at getting rid of its birth control mandates. >> no. >> not at all. >> not even close, no. in fact, the pope's chief spokesperson, father lombardi, made a concerted effort yesterday to say the pope is not endorsing condom use. these comments came in a question about his trip to africa in 2009. remember back then the pope was criticized for not allowing condom use in africa to help stop the spread of aids. the church has done a lot of outreach there to minister to aids victims, but it is a central tenant of the catholic theology that contraception is not allowed because in catholic theology sex is an expression of love and what the pope was saying in his answer where he referred to case of a male prostitute who might use a condom, he said that was the first step in accepting responsibility. once you start to accept responsibility, then you don't see sex in a casual way and then

maybe that person would or the thinking would evolve to see sex as an expression of love. >> you can certainly make the argument that saying that it's going to be an expression of love and that's going to help the aids epidemic is unreal of theic unrealistic, this is not a political organization, the vatican. this is founded on certain basic theology, not whether or not people criticized him when he went to africa. >> right. or whether or not people like that, like the laws that the church set down. clearly in america, if that was the case, there would be women priests and married priests and they wouldn't have the priest shortage they're dealing with today. >> that's right. >> the other thing is the pope does not make such proclamations in an interview with a journalist. when they make a big change in the way the church operates there's an ensick will cal that

says it it caused almost five 500 crashes, 75 injuries and 2 deaths and that does not include all of the people at local emergency rooms because of sprains and breaks. this ice really did catch many off guard. freezing caused this thick layer of ice, the freeways, interstates and sidewalks throughout the state of machine. we are still seeing precipitation come down. it did not interfere with the morning commute but as these temperatures drop here, we do expect that we could get round ii of the problems that we saw earlier yesterday, chris. >> thank you so much for the update. north korea has flexedite muscles revealing its nuclear enrichment facility to the world, and now south korea could seek a nuclear response of its own. south korean leaders are considering asking the u.s. to redeploy tactical nukes to counter the neighbor's weapons program. the scientist who toured the facility coulded the

sophistication stunning and top military officials warn it could further the country's ability to deliver a viable nuclear weapon. the u.s. special envoy for north korea called the report provocative and disappointing but not a crisis. mike chinoy, author of "meltdown inside story of the north korean new crisis" thanks for being with us. >> good morning. >> i think you've made something like 14 trips to north korea. a are you surprised to hear about the discov kri? >> i'm not altogether surprised because what we've seen with the north korean uranium enrichment facility is the result of what happens when the u.s. doesn't talk to north korea. this facility evidently got under way about 18 months ago and during the past year and a half the north koreans have consistently been sending signals that they want to reengage with the united states,

that they'd like bilateral contact, they might be willing to come back to six-party negotiations in guy bey jing but the obama administration, for a variety of reasons, has been unwilling to talk with the north koreans, partly because of the north koreans' sinking of a south korean ship and south korea's unwillingness to engage. the north koreans have said if you don't talk to us, this is what you get and that's what we've got now a situation where the north in the absence of diplomatic movement is moving ahead on the nuclear front. >> we don't know exactly why this scientist was invited by the north koreans. do you have a sense of why you think that happened? >> yes. hecker is a distinguished nuclear scientist, former senior official at the los alamos laboratories, and he's been visiting north korea over a period of many years. in 2004 the north koreans took him to their nuclear facility at yongbyon and showed him

plutonium. they've used him as a conduit because he has credibility, he knows what he sees when they goes to these facilities and he has credibility to say this is what i saw. what you have heres a signal from the north koreans, this is what we have and putting the ball in the obama administration's court now and the choice really is, if you don't talk to them, how else can you try to roll this back? there's not a good military option and it's clear that a year and a half of u.s.-led sanctions designed to pressure and coerce north korea into abandoning its nuclear ambitions haven't worked. >> mike chinoy, great information. new developments in the tragic case of a hero dog who was dentally euthanized at an arizona animal shelter. a worker has been fired, and animal care and control launched investigation into just what happened. talking about target, who had been a stray in afghanistan, credited with save the lives of

american soldiers. mara schiavocampo join me now. you've been looking into the story. heartbreaking, just a terrible mix-up. >> it is. an awful mistake that cost this dog its life and officials are trying to figure out exactly what happened and how this mistake was made. target was the dog, a hero by all accounts. it was a stray, taken in by american soldiers serving in afghanistan and in february the dog alerted them to a suicide bomber in their barracks by barking and growling at the man. she's credited with saving dozens of live by doing that. earlier she was brought to the u.s. to live with one of the soldier she's saved, army sergeant terry young and his family. she wandered out of the yard and that's how she ended up at the shelter. sergeant young contacted the facility, told them he was going to get the dog but by the time he got there she was put down. he's speaking out about the tragic mix-up and says he's utterly devastated. >> if someone was to kill one of

your children, is it really an apology or any act that that person can do to you tou making anything better? that dog and i went through so much over there and just what she meant to me, like i said, she was -- she was a part of our family. >> now, officials at the shelter are trying to figure out how this mistake was made since target was not marked for euthanasia. they have fired the employ e. they have not released the employee's name because they've been getting threats about that. gas prices are going up and everyone's feeling. richard lui is here now. of course as we head into the holiday season. >> chris, we go into the holiday season we're concerned about, slow down the spend, will it slow down the trips? it doesn't look like it's going to stop many of us but it's going to cost us more. getting to grandma's house. 42 million of us will get into the car and travel 50 miles or

more. but we will be spending 10% more to fill up that tank compared to last year. and that's not going to stop us, the majority, some 95% of us will decide to use the car versus other ways of getting to grandma's. first, air fares are simply more expensive this year, up to 59% more more expensive says "usa today." people are saying know as well to new tsa security procedures that we've been talking about right here. instead, they're opting to pile the family into the suv than drag them through the airport and having to go through the process. reasons why gas is getting more expensive? major refiners shut down some capacity for maintenance now. this has caused supplies in the east to drop by almost a quarter, almost 25%, chris, that's a major drop for a major part of the country. there is a point, though, where

prices might get too high. a firm saying folks are not going to be stopped by these higher prices, not unless we reach $3 a gallon. we both remember that. and if the price stays there, that would be an 8% jump from the prices. experts say that shouldn't be the case for now. >> for now. thank you so much. november 22, 47 years ago today, president john f. kennedy was shot to death while traveling in dallas, texas. as the youngest man elected president, he was just 46 years old. the assassination, of course, remains an iconic moment in history, remembered vividly by many in the world who were alive at the time here's how nbc reported his death 47 years ago today. >> president kennedy died at approximately 1:00 central standard time 35 minutes ago, after being shot. >> by an unknown assailant.

doorstep convinced that my clients have been trading on copious inside information. we obviously beg to difficult somewhere klee cliented the gentleman's gracious offer to wear a wire and therefore enshare you in their devious web. >> he has a point. >> it's snarky, though. >> well, i don't know if you've read the follow-up story. the guy had a bad car accident, was badly maimed. two guys from the fbi turn up and say, i'm going to arrest you unless you hand over information and he believes he's innocent, he's like i was better off in the car crash. i think the point is this, that if you -- this is a huge industry, but for years hedge funds and people have been -- experts have been paying lots of money to consultants to pay doctors to learn more about drugs they might want to invest in. if you hire someone from merck you don't necessarily know that they have inside information. you're hiring them for

expertise. dylan is the ultimate sinnic. >> you're hoping. >> the legal issue, then you hire that person and you do learn they have inside information but don't know when you hired them that's a gray area. what's not is a gray area, if you pay cash for insider information. i think this story's complicated. >> but if you're trying to smoke out information, i don't think you're going to get a lot of sympathy from the american people. >> absolutely not. i think that the point that this really brings home, this whole conversation, whether there's rampant insider trading in every firm, which obviously is not or whether it's insider trading which streaks throughout wall street, as there definitely does, wall street exists. why does wall street exist? wall street is a publicly funded, gets taxpayer money into the banking system. why? we want to be able to encourage competitive investment in our country for the development of solutions to our problems. i don't care what it is, health

care, energy, i don't care. what wall street has become is a place to make easy money because the regulations and environment around it instead of wall street pushing money into our economy and competing with each other to push the money in has become merely a competition between players to basically pick each other off or take money out and that's the tragedy. >> we've got to let that be the last word. vicki. dylan, as if he done have enough time, an hour, his own show. we love dylan. >> i will go out for breakfast. >> we love dylan. let's go out together afterwards. thank you very much. and of course, 4:00 for more on this coming up. thanksgiving dinner feuds leaves us acting like while animals and the zoo in seattle noise different. the dragon inhaling a raw turkey leg. before you want to wrestle a relative for the last of the sweet potatoes, be thankful this
