intimate pat downs revealing body scans. not just for air travel. why the psa's top man says it's time to look at train stations. plus signals, are you dateable? find out by taking our quiz. and starting tomorrow, the nation's airports, trains and

bus stations will be seeing some of the biggest crowds for the year, just in time for the biggest controversy of the year. >> that is right. have your body scanned, be patted down or perhaps even both. we all know the intrusions you'll be experiencing at the nation's airports. but could bus terminals and train stations be up next? gary nurenberg is up with the look at the concerns. gary. >> reporter: there have been far more attacks on buses than airplanes, a fact that has some of the security officials wondering if the kind of intensified security we see should now be on the nation's bus terminals and train stations as well. some rail and bus passengers just want to avoid the airport intrusions. >> it's the whole point of not taking the plane is because you don't have to go through all of the screening. >> reporter: the high profile anger at enhanced security procedures, pat downs, is being fed by stories like hers. >> that's all right.

>> reporter: artificial knee prompted greater scrutiny. they spilled this man's colost colostomy bag. >> we hope people will understand the goal, the purpose and the need. >> remember the three simple steps to security. >> reporter: we know that some terrorist groups see rail and subways as being more vulnerable because there is not the type of screening there is in aviation. from my perspective, that is an equally important threat area. some subway systems, like new york, do random bag searches and passenger screening as does amtrak and greyhound. but do rail and bus passengers want to see it done. >> you would have to ride much earlier to get on the bus, just like at the airport, i'm assuming, and generally i find it invasive. i mean, i don't want somebody going through my things. i don't want to be patted down. >> reporter: a soldier who fights for

freedom home for thanksgiving. >> i don't think it would be too bad as long as you don't get carried away with it. >> they should do more screening. nobody wants to have their trip interrupted by an explosion. >> reporter: no clear decisions yet on whether to impose stricter security precautions at bus stations and rail terminals. but, derek and anita, they're thinking about it. the dc fire department says in a city with a long history of fire hydrant problems, it is a major concern for people who live in a neighborhood. brittany morehouse joins us live from a scene of a deadly fire. >> reporter: well, derek, we still don't know the name of the man who died in the fire, but we know five of his family members escaped when the blaze broke out. and now neighbors are

questioning that fire hydrant. >> yes. >> reporter: this man is one of many neighbors of a man who died in a fire here, now concerned for their own safety. >> i don't feel very safe here. >> it worries me a lot. and now i want to get more information about it. >> reporter: and information is now more available tonight hours after a two alarm fire took the life of a man on the third floor of this house. firefighters say around 3:30 in the afternoon a person walking by spotted heavy smoke on the top floor. >> when firefighters got here, they came to the nearest fire hydrant. they hadn't even powered it up when this nozzle broke off. >> it's terrifying. i thought they were all tested after the georgetown fire. >> reporter: he's right. in 2007, firefighters began testing all of the hydrants twice a year marking bad ones to be fixed by dc water authority crews. this past october, that program was stopped for budget reasons, leaving all of the testing back

in dc water's hands. a spokesman tells dc news it was checked in may and august with no problems. and the past september crews flushed out the hydrant but didn't see anything wrong with it. >> i saw some people working on it. >> reporter: it is a small relief knowing this hydrant did not hamper firefighters. but it still doesn't bring back a kind neighbor he knew for over a decade. >> two days ago he was helping to find out the key, my car key that i lost, and he came out and was helping me. so it's kind of sad. >> reporter: that man had been working on a renovation on his top floor. and it's still unclear whether that construction had anything to do with the fire cause. investigators are still looking into that. as for the fire hydrant, dc water and authority crews will be back out here tomorrow morning to take a look at it. it has already been flagged in their system. reporting live in northwest, brittany morehouse, 9news now. new at 11:00, dna has helped

walking around. there was piles of beer cans. another pile of beer cans. and then by the creek clothes hung up and things like that so i started getting worried. >> last month a 30-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in the woods across the street from the shopping center. police say they got this picture of a suspect from a surveillance camera. and in june police say a 26-year-old woman was raped by two men at aspen hill road. now, out to manassas where more than 100 people turned out for a vigil to honor a teenager stabbed to death while just walking home from osbourne high. they gathered on a pathway where the 15-year-old was jumped by gang members last friday. saturday night a re tall yeah torrie stabbing took -- retaliatory stabbing took place. >> we picked up a person of interest we needed to talk to with regards to the stabbing on saturday night. that's what you saw today. we need to get some information and interview him. >> police have charged two

reporters right after the verdict, including emily who cried uncontrollably in the courtroom as they delivered his fate. >> it's a tremendous amount of responsibility. you're dealing with somebody's life. two people's lives. and i don't take that lightly. i take that very, very seriously. and i'm confident with the decision that we made. but it doesn't mean that i don't, you know, wish that we didn't have to be here today. >> the jury says the testimonies of two women who were attacked by guandique helped them make their decision. the women testified they were jogging in rock creek park back in 2001 when guandique approached them from behind but ran off when they fought back. well, tonight the dc's mayor elect is sounding the alarm. brace yourself for more budget cuts. here is vince gray. >> everyone is going to have to take a hit and share in the sacrifice. >> and, in fact, gray says the district's projected deficit this year has climbed to nearly

$188 million. and by next fiscal year, it could climb again. this time to 345 million. on the table, layoffs, furloughs and other belt tightening measures. the dc council will hold a public hearing next week on the budget proposals. tonight the road is paved and the lines are painted. crews are finishing up the electronics that will make this, maryland's first ever cash free toll road. no slowing down for any toll booths. they have reading devices or else cameras can record license plates which will call for billing by mail, and that will include an ex tral charge. >> if you're going to -- extra charge. >> if you're going to use it more than two or three times a year, then having the easy pass transponder will save you because you won't get the -- money because you won't get the fee. >> now, with an easy pass, it

six local singles. three men and three women to learn what made the other sex date worthy. >> you don't have to pull out my chair but allow me to order first. i'll always offer to split it with you, but i expect you to pick up the check the first couple of times. >> reporter: and they don't like having the check linger on the table. >> it's very uncomfortable. >> reporter: we chatted with the ladies first and learned they disliked bad tippers. and men who text during the date. >> if you are non-stop facebook and posting status updates, clearly you would rather be with somebody else. >> reporter: they even shared some dating disasters. >> very persistent. kept asking me out. asking me out. finally i said yes. and then when the check came, when the bill came, he asked for separate checks. >> reporter: often it comes down to basic manners. >> i have received page long e-mails if i didn't respond to a text that next morning. and to be honest i won't reply to a text because i do think a follow-up phone call is

necessary. >> i really want a man that i can look at and respect and that he's a man that i want to be seen with and will make me a better person too. >> reporter: by the way, a key piece of advice from the match maker is directed at women who go out in groups. michelle calls that a dating no-no because she says, and derek is nodding his head, very few men will approach a pack of women to start a conversation. coming up after the
