and two weeks ago, the new tsa director, john pistole, told reporters that at some airport, every singlert or knife got past screeners. >> unfortunately, in many instances, they've been 100% successful in getting through. >> reporter: and despite billions of dollars spent on equipment, the last line of defense remains individual tsa screeners, faced with an often mind-numbing task. >> we don't train them very well. and you get what you get. >> reporter: in the case of that houston gun owner, he says while his pistol sailed past the screener, the woman behind him was stopped for having lick wilds in her bag. the tsa says the screeners asleep at the screen in houston were disciplined, but not fired, diane. >> as you said, it's mind-numbing, but so critical. >> reporter: the last line of defense. >> thank you, brian ross. >>> and coming up, a real life field of dreams. sleep is here, on the wings of lunesta. and if you wake up often in the middle of the night... rest is here, on the wings of lunesta. lunesta helps you fall asleep and stay asleep, so you can wake up feeling rested. when taki

since then and there was even there was a interview that james fallows and jeff goldberg did with john pistole the head of t.s.a. and he kind of sort of seemed to admit that well they went overboard but wasn't willing to admit that they had turned the machines off and you know people are trying to subpoena to for that information to find out whether the reason opt out. it was a bust is that they just turned down the machines turned off the machines that were so offensive to people and i want to hear today if there was a hearing house judicial committee hearing that you were a. number of others and you were telling me just a few minutes ago that there was almost no media there really you were just basically in an empty room but what were the issues that were discussed i know that jeremy scahill was there and he talked about the war in afghanistan now you raise the fact that he saw with his own eyes that you know civilians are affected by these things that perhaps some of our practices are encouraging more people to become insurgents that are shadow wars in yemen and pakistan are helping these i

in the wake of the yemen cargo plot, john pistole, the tsa administrator and i were able to call on this cooperation that have been built up between the staff so that we have seen the kind of progress that i will describe to you in a moment that's taken place in terms of securing the flows of air cargo. toward the united states. this same kind of partnership i should say parenthetically needs to be engaged in by cbp with regard to our other borders. the maritime borders of the united states coast guard. but let me leave that for another day. the second implication is partnership in the private sector. perhaps the most important partnership of all. because, in fact, it should be clear from the paradigm i present to you that government agencies cannot alone secure the global supply chain. we're 99 point x percent where the traffic is lawful and legitimate. without engaging with the shippers and the freight forwarders and the freight consolidators, the carriers, and the importers who account for that flow. who know their cargo as we can never know it. so that unless we engage with the priva

the pat-down thing at the airport, i am with john pistole. orked with john closely and he is the deputy directory -- director of the fbi. i thought john did a great job with explaining the policy. i'm putting that in the debt that is okay colin. i may not want to do that for the next four years but in terms of the current thread. i'm someone who is quite comfortable with working on authorizations from the president and october of 2001 put in place a terrorist surveillance program. so i kind of tilted in tilt in a direction using the full extent of the law to ensure security. i understand the great danger. sorry, doing hand puppets again. if this is what the law allows, box that size, you know, it is a little edgy. i don't want to go through that political meat grinder of being criticized. let's play inside this box, just a few yards back from what is legally permissible. i actually have trouble with that as an individual, is the director of nsa, director of cia. if i'm playing in a box that is not as big as the policy box allows me are as big

and now john pistol, for whom i've agreed to have regard, by the way, is going to href in childcare. he's already indicated he could have won that. but i think passengers want information that you've got their best interests at heart. and i think if we can do that by working together, but that's really the model for the way forward. >> gray. appreciate those thought. i don't know which witness would be best equipped, but i would buy just a little education here in my foreign travels, my observation has been that, for example, if you fly from what state a third world country in the fly from the interior of the country, the security is quite honestly kind of so-so. but it seems like an foreign observations they have kind of hub system where you fly into a more major airports to be, wherever does come a security really thinks up at that point and that looks like u.s. security and then you come over the ocean wherever you're coming from. is that a correct observation? is that what we are dealing with? and if that is a correct observation, what is the key element in terms of bringing secu

it was a lot of a frustrating about the pat downs and so forth -- john pistol has already indicated that he wishes he could have this one back. passengers want information, and whether they or delay on the tarmac or in the security line or whatever, they want the information and they want to know that you have their best interests at heart. i think if we can do that, all working together, that is really the model for the way forward. >> i appreciate those thoughts. i don't know which witness would be best equipped, but i would like just a little education here. in my foreign travels, my observation has been that, for example, if you fly from, let's say a third world country, and you fly from the interior of that country, the security is quite honestly, kind of so-so. it seems like in foreign operations, they have a hub system where you fly into a more major airport city, whatever it is, security really ramps up at that point. it looks more like u.s. security when you come over the ocean, where ever you are coming from. is that correct observation? what is the key element in terms of brin

in the wake of the yes , yemen cargo plot, john pistol, psa administrator and i, were able to call on this collaboration built up in the staffs so we can see the kind of progress i will describe to you in a moment that's taken place in terms of securing the flows of air cargo towards the united states. the same kind of partnership, i should say par renne thetically, needs to be engaged by our other board es with the united states coast guard, but let me leave that for another day. the second implication is partnership with the private sector. perhaps the most important partnership of all because in fact it should be clear from the paradigm i present to you that government agencies cannot alone security the global supply chain. we're 99.x% of the traffic that is lawful and legitimate without engaging with the shippers #, the freight forwarders, freight consolidators, the carriers, and the importers who agent for that flow -- who account for that flow and who know their cargo as we can never know it so unless we engage with the private sector in new and different and more intensive ways

john lennon was in the news last week. and the sex pistols are alive in london and bill clinton was holding for the at the white house on friday. what is old is new again. you expect jimmy carter to stop touring around again. megyn: did he ever stop? >> that's right well not successfully. i don't think it's constructive, this whole element. you know, people that work hard are not described as small business owners, or as people that are just working, working families, they are described by the democrats as the rich. and i think that tone is setting off these types of people rallying back, whether it be the royal family over in london or right here in cape cod where an arsonist is saying, go after the rich. megyn: john interesting thoughts. thanks so much. we appreciate it. >> good to be with you megyn. megyn: if you want to check out bernard goldberg.com you should. he had an interesting piece we talked with him about on friday, how we should be running around thanking the rich but notville flying them. new reaction coming in on this federal

john wayne classic "true grit." >> you're no bigger than a corn nubbin. what are you doing with all this pistolld see the original. they said the book is where usual go. we're not looking at it as a remake of that as a strict adaptation of this book. >> you seem kind of lost. >> that's right. i'm a texas ranger. >> reporter: the movie damon stars opposite 13-year-old newcomer haley steinfeld who with no prior big screen experience was pulled from a pool of 15,000 for the role. >> i hold out little hope for you. >> why is that? >> she's astonishing. this character is nothing like haley steinfeld actually is in real life. for somebody her age, you know, this isn't anywhere near the way she talks off screen. so to be able too connect to the character is not something that you expect a 13-year-old to be able to do. >> reporter: damon himself was just a few years older than her when he got his first hollywood role. the year was 1988. he was 18. the movie, mystic pizza. >> mom, do you want my green stuff? >> that's called a tamle. it's the best part. >> reporter: since then damon now 40 has starred i
