7:00 am
. good morning. feeling their way. the head of the tsa says new airport screening methods could evolve just hours after they said no changes would be made. we asked an administrator to set the record straight. is it natalee? could it be the remains of the missing alabama keen? and stay home. as a legal dispute explodes over sarah palin's new book, former first lady barbara bush has an
7:01 am
interesting thought for her. >> i loved the book, i think she's very happy in alaska and i hope she stays there. >> actually sarah palin's already on the road getting set to launch a 14-state book tour today, monday, november 22, to launch a 14-state book tour today, monday, november 22, 2010. captions paid for by nbc-universal television and good morning, welcome to "today" on a monday morning. i'm matt lauer. >> and i'm meredith viera. 20 million americans are expected to fly this weekend. >> the tsa seems to be signaling that some potential changes could be made to those controversial techniques being made by it's agents. on to the wedding of prince
7:02 am
william and kate middleton. who's going to make kate's wedding dress? coming up we're going to ask one of her best friends. we're going to show you the companies that consumer reports say are naughty and the ones they say are nice when it comes to consumer -- or customer service policies. and a tragic -- rachelle hit her head and suffered a spinal cord injury that's left her paralyzed. this morning she will join us along with her fiance for an exclusive live interview. let's begin with the latest fallout over those controversial new screening methods at our nation's airports. tom costello is at reagan national airport. good morning to you. >> reporter: the tsa insists nothing is changing here, but it released a statement yesterday which some believe may suggest there's some wiggle room. here's part of what that statement said.
7:03 am
it's part of an evolving program that will be adapted as conditions warrant. but a lot of americans seem to be running out of patience and out of understanding. you know you've got an image problem when "saturday night live" is poking fun at you. >> spending time with a tsa agent couldn't be easier. simply book a flight from any american airport. >> reporter: the tsa's full body patdowns are no laughing matter to thousands of americans. like breast cancer survivor marlene mccarthy who went through a pat down. >> she touched the prosthesis, she moved it up and down and said you're okay. >> they searched me once, they pulled me into another room and searched me again and i just
7:04 am
felt dirty. >> reporter: while only a small amount of passengers are selected for patdowns, the resentment seems to be growing. >> you have the option to request that the pat down be conducted in a private room. >> reporter: the tsa's own inspectors were able to smuggle weapons and drugs past tsa screeners. >> something like a knife, artfully concealed, things that could be a threat to aviation and are prohibited items. >> reporter: president obama says he has heard the public's frustration. >> what i have said to the tsa is that you have constantly refine and measure whether what we're doing is the only way to assure the american people's safety. >> reporter: with al qaeda's recent attempts to bring down both cargo and passenger planes, many travels still support the scanners and pat downs. >> there's people out there that want to do harm and the harder
7:05 am
we make it for them to do that, the safer we're going to be. >> reporter: but some tsa screeners are anonymously complaining on the internet about the backlash. molester, pervert, disgusting, an embarrassment, creep, these are all comments i have heard today. you have probably heard some travelers saying they're not going to go through the scanners. the tsa says they'll have extra staffing. but most people want to get to thanksgiving dinner and it's not going to be a major problem. we'll see how that pans out. matt, back to you. >> john pistole is the head of the transportation security administration, john, good morning to you. >> good morning, matt.
7:06 am
>> we spoke last week just after these new procedures were put into effect. i thought the uproar would die down pretty quickly, it has not. it seems like more and more passengers are complaining. are you now actively rethinking this policy? >> you're probably aware that we constantly evaluate and evolve our protocols in light of the latest intelligence. and we saw over the weekend, new intelligence coming out about how they're -- clearly there has been a concern raised with the traveling public and members of congress have expressed concern. so yes, we're going to look at how can we do the most effective screening in the least invasive way, knowing there's a tradeoff between security and privacy. and reasonable people can disagree. >> are you think -- are you
7:07 am
rethinking this policy and adapting it based on the intelligence and the threat level out there or are you going to adapt this policy simply because people are complaining about it? >> well, obviously we have to take all factors into consideration. my job is security and what can we best do? what i'm interested in is going to be what to the gao, and say you are the ones who did this covert testing prior to 2012 last year. what would you if we did modify in some respects the type of screening that we do, how can we adjust that. because they were able to get through security because of the lack of security that we have. >> when its comes to the actual number of people who are being patted down for example, what are we talking about? what percentage? >> it's a very small percent, i
7:08 am
can't give you the exact amount. but a very small percent. for example since we started the new pat down procedure, we have had approximately 34 million people travel, it is a very small percentage in number of those who have actually received this type of thorough pat down. so it seems like from what i have seen in the media, every passenger is receiving a pat down, that's clearly not the case. it's a very small percentage. >> again, it can be overblown. i'm not going to be the one and nor can you be to decide whether people think this is overly invasive or not inveiasive enou. but one thing we can agree on is this is not the fault of the tsa screeners, but they're being blamed for this, they're being called names at airports and that clearly can't continue, can it? >> i have heard both sides. i have receiveded comments from some of the security officers
7:09 am
who have said that customers, travelers have been very complementary and appreciative of the work they are doing to keep them and the traveling public safe. but clearly we can't have passengers who have abusive to security officers who are there to protect them and their loved ones while they're traveling. >> in this case with these pat downs and this increased screening procedure, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. i would hate to think what happens if the government caves in on this and relaxes these procedures and someone manages to get on board a plane and causes harm. imagine what you will be asked. >> how do we do the best possible job of balancing the security that everybody wants and even demands and rightly so, with the privacy that everybody wants and how do we best blend
7:10 am
that? so that is a challenge we face every day and we try to do that in partnership with the traveling public because we're saying, look, we're there to try to protect you and make sure that everybody on that plane arrives safely. >> i think they're calling wednesday one of the biggest traveling days of the year, do you have the manpower to actually deal with the situation where large numbers of people refuse screening? >> clearly we're fully staffed. the question becomes what happens to the wait time and then do people end up missing flights because as a small or large group whomever it is decides to protest and delay the vast majority of people who just want to get home for the holidays. i hope that people use judgment and reason to say, look, everybody just wants to enjoy the holidays, let's be safe when we do that. let's not tie up those people who just want to go home and spend time with loved ones. >> john pistole, john, i think
7:11 am
you're in a tough position, thanks for your time this morning. let's get a check of the other top stories. natalee good morning to you. >> it's been a tough travel week already as flights were forced to make emergency landings over the weekend after serious engine malfunctions. but the most dramatic incident, a plane headed to moscow, carrying more than 200 passengers lost its left engine and had to return to jfk. president obama is back in washington after attending a nato summit in portugal over the weekend. savannah guthrie is at the white house. >> reporter: president obama did get -- the question is will it help him with the audience that matters most, congress? back home in washington, president obama faces a senate showdown over the new s.t.a.r.t.
7:12 am
treaty. hinting it's politics that's stopping republicans from approving the arms control deal with russia. >> there's no other reason not to do it. than the fact that, you know, washington has become a very partisan place. >> on meet the press, secretary of state hillary clinton echoed the president. >> in this one area, this goes beyond politics. >> reporter: republicans led by senator john kyle say they need more time to decide. meanwhile worries over north korea escalated after a "new york times" report that the country has a vast new uranium enrichment facility. >> north korea is continuing on a path that's destabilizing for the reason. it confirms or validates the concern we have had for years
7:13 am
about them enriching uranium. >> reporter: there's a b ee's a meeting necks week to try to. cnbc's melissa lee is at the stock exchange. >> it is good news for u.s. investors because the problems in ireland's banking -- already on the news we're seeing the euro as well as european stocks move higher, oil is rebounding after two weeks of losses, but the sigh of relief may be short-lived because investors are focusing on portugal which may need a multimillion dollar bailout of its own. iran has set a trial date for three american hikers detained in 2009 on charges of espionage. they're set to appear in court
7:14 am
on february 6. one of the three hikers was released on bail in september. it's unclear whether she will be summoned back to iran for a court date. at the woodland park zoo in seattle, workers did feed a pack of wild animals a turkey dinner in honor of the holidays. you have to excuse this kimono dragon for his table manners. >> enjoy your cheerios, everybody. >> that's going to hurt. mr. roker, what's happening? >> it's hard to follow. let's check it out. the pacific northwest getting slammed again, we got a jet stream, plus a couple of double barrel lows with a strong upper level jet, a lot of moisture and it's a skier's delight. we are talking about a lot of
7:15 am
snow stretching into the mountains of the pacific northwest along the coast, it's mostly going to be rain, but snowfall amounts anywhere from six to 18 inches plus, from between portland and medford on to boise and parts of the rockies. we are looking >> we are off to kind of a murky start. we have a little bit of fog, clouds and drizzle. that should break up as we head into the afternoon and turn out to be a decent day. >> that's your latest weather. meredith? and now to the latest on what could be a possible break in the search for natalee holloway who disappeared during a high school graduation trip in
7:16 am
aruba 5 1/2 years ago. investigators are now trying to determine if a jawbone recently discovered on the beach there is hers. michelle, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, meredith. always, always in this case, for more than five years now, it's been a bit stranger than fiction. but what looks to be a human jawbone with at least one molar has washed up on the beach here. tourists found it and turned it into the front desk of their hotel. investigators say they're still waiting for test resulting on it. by some twist of chance, tourists on 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. is somehow it ended up here, after days of rough surf. and now authorities and family
7:17 am
of natalee holloway are anxiously awaiting the answer more than five years after she disappeared without a trace. could it be hers? natalee's mother beth says there's no good answer ooze to whether it's natalee or whether it isn't. in this case forensic experts say the tooth should hold valuable evidence. >> the nuclear dna analysis will tell you unequivocally whether it is that individual. >> reporter: back in 2005, natalee's family frantically searched this island. >> i'm not leaving aruba without her. >> reporter: she had left a bar with three local boys. joran van der sloot is now in a
7:18 am
peruvian jail after murdering a woman on the fifth anniversary of natalee's disappearance. on the tiny wind swept island, everything that has turned up over the years, blyears--but th lying here in the sand seemed different. and authorities testing it in holland have asked for natalee's dental records. prosecutors say they don't have results yet even to say whether the bone is human and to figure out whether this possible piece of an even bigger mystery will be solved. to make things even weirder, all over the internet there's been a picture circulating with a jawbone found in the sand. that's not even right the
7:19 am
picture. prosecutors say they do expect test results soon on the real one. but remind everyone, even if it did belong to natalee holloway, it won't necessarily solve this case. it is 7:18, and once again, here's matt. now to politics and sarah palin's possible white house aspirations. one former first lady doesn't think too much of them. norah o'donnell is in washington with details on this. >> nothing like some controversy to help sell a book, right? just as palin gears up for a book tour and a possible presidential run. barbara bush says she likes palin but hopes she stays home. in episode 2 of "sarah palin's alaska" the palins are at home on the range. >> missed it. >> reporter: sarah and todd
7:20 am
palin take daughter bristol mosquito shooting. >> a couple of my girlfriends had my baby shower right here in this shooting range. my first baby shower. and i love to share that story. >> reporter: meanwhile former first lady barbara bush seems to throw cold water on palin's white house run. >> i think she's very happy in alaska and i hope she'll stay there. >> reporter: even the weekly standard is going negative on palin. the article says palin's show has secureded her a spot in the reality tv spot pantheon and good for pail on and there's no compelling reason to suggest the rest of us should tag along behind. like it or not, sarah palin and her family are everywhere. tonight begins the "dancing with the stars" finale. palin's daughter bristol is
7:21 am
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 she embarks on her cross country tour, 16 stops in 14 states. already the book creating buzz and controversy. last week, the media blog leaked excerpts of the book on their site, infuriating palin, the publishing world is leaking out of context excerpts of my book, isn't that illegal? but just as parts of the books were coming out. palin offered her own sneak peek on her facebook page with a call to action. we have to know what makes america exceptional today more

7:31 am
with a list of companies. folks are naughty and nice when it comes to their policies. and a bride-to-be was playfully pushed into a pool after a bachelorette party. let us begin with those royal wedding plans. stephanie gosk is live at buckingham palace. >> reporter: any moment we're expecting an announcement on the date and place of the wedding. the young couple has already secured adoration. it was perhaps inevitable, his dashing prince and his beautiful bride-to-be charmed the world with their announcement. >> we're very, very happy and i'm very glad i have done it.
7:32 am
>> reporter: a new poll says that a majority of brittons are so enamored with william that they believe the 28-year-old will be a better king than charles. many think charles when the time comes should pass the throne to his son. >> if prince charles does step aside, it will require an act of renunciation. >> reporter: the wedding is expected to be held at the 1,000-year-old westminster abbey. the last marriage ceremony there was over 30 years ago, the queen's daughter ann. this wedding is set to be a much more grand affair. the price tag is set at $40 million with most of the details yet to be settled. like the guest list. numbers are uncertain. but the king and queen of sweden
7:33 am
are expected, the entire swede on family, paul mccartney, elton john and there's some effort to be mindful of the economy. to be fair coming up with the jewels was never going to be a problem. there are quite a few already in the family. what will definitely not be recycled is the dress. kate's mother, the daughter of a coal miner bought her dress for $50. it will likely be a drastic departure from diana's, very '80s, very meringue. >> we're in a different mood now. >> reporter: william will have little input on the dress of course, but he's said to be personally involved in almost every other detail. and on top of that, the prince
7:34 am
has an actual job to do. the helicopter rescue pilot was called off on an emergency less than 48 hours after the announcement. prince william was called in with a four-man helicopter crew to the rescue. the climber got to safety, he said if it wasn't for prince william, he would no longer be alive. >> an incredible week. stephanie gosk, thank you very much. jessica, good morning to you. >> good morning, how are you? >> we are now hearing that there could be an announcement about the wedding as early as today. rumors are reports are the wedding will take place either april 28 or sometime in july. what can you tell us? >> obviously april 28 is on everybody's lips at the moment. but i do think that july is a better date from what i have heard from inner circles.
7:35 am
i think there's likely to be a summer wedding, they do want everybody to be involved. it will be a public event but it's going to be very personal to them which is the most important thing. >> what does harry have to do with that april 28th day? >> he's actually on leave, so that was probably going to be the best date because he wouldn't be around for that big day. but i'm sure he would make time even if it was in july. >> we saw a picture of kate middleton leaving westminster abbey and everybody was saying that's got to be where the wedding will occur. can you confirm that? >> yes, i can confirm, i would say 90% that, she absolutely adores westminster abbey is so beautiful and it's important to them both. >> they have refused help from the queen's staff. from what you know, the prince's
7:36 am
parents had in 1981? >> yeah, i mean i think it's very important. we're living in a more modern age now and obviously they're very much in love, they're a normal couple and they do want to organize their own wedding and i think the royal family respects that. of course there will be some involvement, but i think that predominantly they will be the ones that will oversee the proceedings. >> do you think it will be a big wedding and a slightly more quiet ceremony following the, ceremony following the wedding? >> i think it will be a very big wedding. obviously it's going to be very public, but i believe that afterwards they would like to have a personal, very quiet ceremony. but they do want the public to be involved, so katharine is adamant, she loves the public,
7:37 am
she's loving being accepted. so they want the public to be involved. they do want a big wedding, but they will probably have a quiet occasion later on. >> and what about the dress, jessica, everybody wants to know who's going to design it and what it's going to look like. >> i think every designer is calling her 24/7. but she's got a favorite designer. not that she will design the wedding dress, at the moment that's questionable as to who is going to design it. but they're on her 24/7. >> there's been a controversy brewing over there about comments made by a church of england bishop who called william and kate shallow celebrities and said their marriage would last maybe seven years. has kate had any reaction to that? has she said anything to you about that? >> well, it's completely ridiculous. i mean it's ridiculous,
7:38 am
ludicrous, they have been together for eight years, they have taken the time to prepare for their engagement. they have thought about it, as people do when they're in love. those comments are absolutely ridiculous. i wouldn't listen to them at all. >> thank you very much for your time this morning. >> thank you so much. have a good day. now let's get a check of the weather from al. >> "today's" weather is brought to you by advil, make the switch to advil now. and good morning, everybody, got a nice crowd out here for bruno mars. you skipped school to see bruno mars? >> we did. >> are you going back to school later today? >> no. >> let's check your weather and see what's happening, there's some temperature departures, 27 degrees below normal in rapid city, 36 degrees below normal in billings, montana. and temperature-wise, we are going to see these temperatures really plunge over the next 24

the latest weather you need to know, go to the weather channel on cable or weather.com online. hollywood paid tribute to famed publicist ronni chasen over the weekend as police continue to investigate her mysterious murder. kristen welker is in hollywood. >> beverly hills police have been working around the clock to try to solve this case. so far no reports of any new leads. this as hollywood comes together to say goodbye. car after car lined up as friends and members of the entertainment industry arrived to pay their final respects to publicist ronni chasen who helped bring fame and glory to so many. actors peter fonda was among the mourners. chasen was also remembered at a private reception, paid for by all six major studios. >> there are many hundreds of people who are going to miss
7:41 am
ronni chasen, she was a superstar in her own rite. >> reporter: her career achievements include oscar buzz for "on golden pond" and ""slumdog millionaire."" the last images of chasen were captured earlier last monday night at the premier for the movie movie. she was found with multiple gunshot wounds in her chest. >> i think the level of anger in this case is evident. five shots. this person, if they had 20 bullets, i think they would have shot her 20 times. >> chasen appeared to have been targeted but in response, the police chief quickly issued a statement asking the press to stop relying on erroneous information, theories or speculation. since then rumors have only
7:42 am
continued to swirl. was it a targeted killing? a case of mistaken identity or road rage? >> the road rage aspect again, we hear it on the news all the time. i cannot think but whoever did it didn't break a sweat. >> reporter: many of the se theories going around sound implausible. >> i think that whoever did it knew what they were doing, and if she was here to talk to us she could put two and two together and come one an individual. >> reporter: such an unlikely crime in one of the country's most exclusive zip codes. adding to this mystery, at least five casting directors reportedly received death threats earlier this month. police haven't established a link between those threats and chasen's murder and of course chasen was a publicist, not a casting director. there's currently a $125,000

naughty and nice holiday list. they came one a list of the ones they like and loathe. t todd marks the senior editor of consumer reports. you wrote in the magazine, imagine if all companies acted if they really had customer interests at heart. apparently it's not the case, is it? >> not always the case. and again, what we did, we said people are going to be out and about, they're going to be buying, they're going to be returning, they're going to be traveling. we thought what is it that makes the consumers life easier and what thwarts them. >> you're not saying that all companies have to go out there and lose money just to please customers, you just want fair policies. >> sure that would be foolish. but if some big companies could do it and make the consumer's life easier, why can't more do that. >> let's start with the nice list.
7:47 am
you like costco and you like their return policy in particular, why. >> because it's open ended for virtually everything minus electronics which still comes with a very generous 90 day return policy unlike many other companies. >> you like zappos.com, what do you like. >> you free shipping and you can also print out a return label. >> now southwest, u.s. cellular, l.l. bean, hotels.com. the headlines here is, they make it easier for customers to shop and they please the customer. >> it's not a blanket either negative or positive about the company, but these aspects of their policies that we really like. >> the other side of the coin, let's get to your naughty list this first one is not going to make for a great one. but you take some fault with macys, why? >> we like when shipping is based on the size and the weight
7:48 am
of the package, rather than the dollar amount. macy's charges $5.95 to $24.95. we wanted to buy a $24 pair of pants and cost $5.95 to ship. we like flat rates. >> we contacted macys, they said they acknowledge the system is imperfect, they say they're working on developing an alternati alternative, but the sliding scale method is so that the costumko costuko consumer can see before they buy. >> you didn't love dollar rental car for people traveling, why? >> well, you know, it's bad enough if you choose the to have the company refuel the car when you bring it back. whether you use a little gas or a lot. you're going to pay for a tank of gas that you probably didn't use. but they make you provide a receipt when you return the car to prove that within 10 miles
7:49 am

picked not one but three great recipes. a savory bread pudding, a spaghetti sauce and caramel pie and hot, sticky and sweet potatoes. they all look so great. anita, first with yours, two years in the making. how did you come one this recipe? >> when i first started making this dish, i wanted it to be more flavorful. it ends up being a very beautiful holiday dish. >> the key to bread puding is the custard. >> so i'm adding milk, lots of cream. some salt and pepper, about a teaspoon and a little bit of thyme. once the custard is done. we pour it into the bread. cover that all up. and we're going to add the rest of the ingredients.
8:37 am
some fennal. which has a great flavor. we're going to add in caramelized onions. at home i let this sit for 30 minutes so the custard can really absorb into the bread pudding and make it very moist. and then we put it in a water vat so that the bottom doesn't burn. >> okay, you're pretty -- it doesn't matter? >> it doesn't matter. you can take that out. and then you top the rest of it with cheese. >> and cook it for how long? >> cook it for an hour and a half in a water vat. >> it looks gorgeous. >> i move on to michael. your dish took two years to make. this is by accident, this squash pie? >> my friends and i have these competitions where you get three
8:38 am
ingredients and you have to make something out of it. if you have never seen it, it sleds into these little strands that are kind of spaghetti. and then, so here we have the dr ingredients, flour and sugar and salt. and we have some butter, of course. >> right now you're making the custard? >> so we have the eggs, and some cream and vanilla and if you want to help me throw in the spaghetti squash. so we're going to mix that all up. and then you pour a nice home made graham cracker crust. you can buy the crust if you want. but it's not as good. and then you bake it for about 45 minutes and a few minutes before it's done, you top it with caramel.
8:39 am
>> how did you think of that? >> it's crazy. >> and yours is hot, sticky and sweet potatoes. how did you come one that name? >> well, it has got hot, sticky and sweet. it's got curry paste which i'm going to add in now, which will give it the flavor kick. we also have avocados in here. >> the rests i would expect, but why the avocado? >> it gives it that buttery texture without having to add the butter. so it's my way of lightening it up and we add in some lime juice and lime zest to freshen everything up. and then we're going to add in some light coconut milk. and so for our sweet, we have our brown sugar and our honey. which will also make it nice and sticky and sweet. and if you want to throw in our
8:40 am
coconut over here and our salt and pepper. >> the whole thing. >> the whole thing, yes. >> and you keep mixing this up. and it's just going to give it great flavor and then you just pour it in the dish and then you just top it, garnish it with our cocoa and a little more honey and a little more sticky and sweet. >> i'm going to taste this. >> it's so beautiful, and it's a great way to do sweet potatoes. >> you might as well use them. do you cook in your home? >> i cook for myself every day pretty much. >> so you're always coming up with new recipes? >> and your little boy here, are you cooking fine things that your son will like? >> absolutely, he's my chef and
