tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> what a bizarre stunt. he admitted that the act itself overshadowed the political point. he was trying to make about campaign finance reform. security officers sent in a bomb unit to check out the gyrocopter. make sure it didn't pose a threat. >> they didn't find anything. a moment ago you heard from the woman who witnessed that whole event. she came back later to take to anderson cooper. here's what she told him about the pilot's arrest. >> the first cop came around the side of the capitol building. and stopped him. was yelling something into the walkie-talkie. i would say, within 45 seconds, of his initial landing there were multiple police cars on the scene. first cop. yelled. don't move. don't move. he didn't seem to be agitated at all. wasn't being aggressive at all. the cops did approach him. he stood up. they clasped his hand behind his back, cuffed him and walked him off the grass. >> and, sunny was just in the area to interview for an internship which he did end up getting. >> congratulations. silv

as tom foreman reports, u.s. security forces didn't get his message. >> i'm not sure.i'm not going to fly into any monuments. terrorists don't announce their flights before they take off. okay. terrorists don't broadcast their, their flight path. terrorists don't invite an escort to go along with them. >> reporter: those word from an extensive video from tampa bay times about the 61-year-old pilot before his flight that ended amid confusion. alarm and drawn guns on the capitol lawn. nora noo -- neus. >> it flew straight toward us. west base, landed on the lawn. and sat still. sat in his chair and then one cop came down. another one came down. then 30 second there were, dozens of police cars. a large number of men with rifles and snipers running towards the man yelling don't move. don't move. >> reporter: nechlt neus said nearby security forces seemed unaware of the craft until it touched down. yet hughes and the video and website says he informed a good many others including the president of his specific intentions before he took off more than an hour outside of d.c.'s

>> tom foreman, thank you. let's go to the streets of baltimore right now with cnn's rye on ryan young is. no class today for the city students. you've been out in the thick of it. you were just feet away when police arrested a protester as everyone else around him was calling for calm. what are the protesters in the streets with whom you've been speaking what are they telling you? >> reporter: i can honestly tell you, if it wasn't for the protesters who were here who were self policing with that situation could have been a whole lot worse. when that young man decided to throw his bottle toward the police over there, everyone sort of rushed toward the police. what we were told by several people he tried to throw something three times and was stopped by the police. but then they came and arrested him open then hen he was actually pepper sprayed. that pepper spray incident really took out half the crowd around this area. everyone started running. my photographer and i were also hit by the pepper spray. you can se

tom foreman explains. >> reporter: yemen is thoemd about 26 million -- home to about 26 million people. doesn't have many natural resources. accordingly, it is one of the poorest arab states. so why are so many other nations interested in the rebels there who have attacked the government, and why has a coalition of other arab nations put together a military force to fight those rebels? three big reasons -- first of all, this is a religious conflict. the rebels are shiites. the government they pushed out there was sunni. many of the nations here have mixes of sunnis and shiites in them. any way this conflict plays out has a chance of affecting the overall mix and influence of those religions here. it's all islam, but there is still a power struggle going on. secondly, this is a proxy war between two very big powers. saudi arabia just to the north of yemen there and iran over here. again, iran is shiite, saudi arabia is sunni. however this plays out in yemen, will impact who is seen as the victor and what influence they continue to have in that region. lastli, this conflict has put the u

cnn's tom foreman has this incredible story. >> i can dance. >> reporter: meet milo partially plastico feet tall and rising giant in the autism community. >> you do it, too. >> good dancing. >> reporter: this robot, programmed to teach kids about a wide range of social interactions is proving more successful than humans in helping children with autism, by a long shot. pamela rawlines who studied communications disorders for years, is working with robokind to develop milo. >> all children with autism have problems with social interactions but they are really, really good at technology. so milo creates that bridge where he is humanoid has a human-like face but it's cartoonish so children on the spectrum are engaged with him. >> reporter: how engaged? children with autism often have a hard time talking with or even looking at human therapists like this boy. but look at how he lights up with milo. >> we found that especially with the fluent children they were engaged with milo 87% of the time. we also looked at how much they are engaged with the therapist when she tried to talk to them. i

tom foreman joins me now. says body scanners are useless. >> this is salacious and alarming stuff if it's all true. this former officer is saying loudly and clearly this scheme to grope airline passengers alleged scheme is not limited to colorado and it is not unusual, indeed insisted airports all over the country, things like it are commonplace. tsa officers using their high-tech xaerns to identify pull aside and grope attractive male passengers. that's what authorities say was going on at denver international until the two officers involved a man and woman, were caught and left their jobs. if that's not enough to horrify many fliers now comes this from "time" magazine. the bigger issue here is a systemic one. there are far too many federal hands on people's private parts in airports. the writer is jason edward harrington. a former tsa agent who insists this sort of thing happens all the time in airports everywhere. he writes -- the agent running his or her hands over you after you pass through the scanner is

tom foreman has much more on this bizarre story. tom? >> reporter: when i took off, i was over an hour away from the no-fly zone from an extensive website believed to have been build by the suspected 61-year-old pilot well before his flight that ended amid confusion, alarm and drawn guns on the capitol lawn. nora noose saw the single-seat aircraft approach. >> it flew straight toward us on the west face of the capitol building landed on the lawn, bounced one and sat still. the man sat in his chair and then one cop came down and started trying to figure out what was happening. another came down. and in 30 seconds, there were dozens of police cars a large number of men with rifles and snipers sent towards the man. >> reporter: nearby security forces seemed unaware of the craft until it touched down while the suspected pilot appears to have kept details of his plan sketchy, in many ways it was hidden in plain sight. he talked extensively to "the tampa bay times," who said he'd be extensively questioned by the secret service. he said he was

>> thank you, tom foreman. danny cevallos is out front. a few things stand out to you.or $6 million. he said he has to be subdued and the airline is at fault for letting him fly because he had undiagnosed brain injury as a child. it sort of sounds rekick louse when you look at those few headlines. >> this is directly from the plaintiff's complaint himself. claims just like you said he suffered from an undiagnosed completely unknown asimpleymptomatic brain injury. completely unknown asymptomatic condition. >> he didn't know. none of his doctors but the airline should have known. that's his argument. >> that's his argument and what this comes down to the allegations and the complaint, these are the plaintiff's own words, that i had this condition. i was unfit to fly and now i had no idea i was unfit to fly until it was clear that i was unfit to fly. so really you can boil this complaint down to we know that jetblue acted. we know they put him out of the cockpit. his complaint is that they should have done so earlier, but the thing is this: it is true that the faa requires

but his stunt is exposing serious national security vulnerabilities and tom foreman investigates. >>eople. >> reporter: from the moment that gyro copter landed at the capitol, questions have been rising about the pilot who appeared in court today. how was he apparently up detected by hundreds of security agents along the national mall? why didn't air traffic controllers or surveillance cameras spot him? some doubt his claims he fully informed authorities ahead of time. >> i would be stunned if the secret service knew about this and didn't say anything. i would be shocked. >> reporter: but this was just the latest security breach around central d.c. and came days after a map shot himself outside the capitol. since the start of 2014 at least five people have made it past the white house fence, including a toddler who slipped past a barrier this week. most of the intrusions were benign. >> everybody out right now! go back! everybody into the park! >> reporter: there was that disturbed veteran who charged all the way not what building with a knife before being captured. >> this is unacce

tom foreman, thank you very much. not only did they not see it but they were given warnings which they ob sensibly completely ignored. renee marsh is "outfront" in washington. hughes flew through prestricted air space for more than an hour. why was he able to do this? why weren't jets scrambled? why wasn't he shot down? do we have any answers? >> reporter: i spoke with norad today and asked that very question why weren't jets scrambled when it entered this hypersensitive area around the capitol? norad tells me they didn't get notification about this whole situation until it actually landed. so of course that would be too late. a law enforcement source tells cnn that this gyro copter did not show up on radar. so it is possible and we don't know for sure but it is possible that perhaps these agencies that are in charge monitoring this air space didn't even realize it was coming. we don't know what altitude this gyro copter was flying at. and it's possible if it was at a low enough altitude it was able to skirt radar. an

went formal asian airplane with witnesses who said how the order might have gone down and then tom foremannalyzing the contents to have the burrito itself, the rites the beans the sour cream they've got it all! there is an important political story here but not the one that happened at chipotle! can we please hear from the very junior senator from florida? >> too many of our leaders and their ideas are stuck in the 20th century so our leaders put us at a disadvantage by taxing and borrowing and regulating like it was 1999. (laughter) >> jon: he's very pleased with that joke. they are taxing us and regulating us like it's 1999. (laughter) the joke is slightly lame but a little inaccurate. the american economy should be so lucky as to be like it was in 1999. the clinton era year was possibly the greatest peacetime in our history. low inflation high employment. oh, pad wa i know how you want to have a choke and throw it out but it's rubbish. but other than that, inspiring the personal story, hard work and the american dream. >> part of why yesterday is so successful is she's look like she's h

tom foreman, thanks very much. how did this aircraft manage to penetrate the restricted zone at the center of the nation's capital, especially in these years following 9/11? let's go to our aviation correspondent, rene marsh. this happened in some of the most hypersensitive airspace not only in the united states but in the world. was the faa aware this was going to happen? >> reporter: wolf i can tell you i just got off the phone with the faa and asked that very question. and they will not comment as to whether they knew that this man was planning this flight and planning to do what he did and actually it happened just right over my shoulder. if you see that green space, that is where that gyrocopter landed. but faa mum on whether they knew this was going to happen before it actually did occur, only saying that they're investigating, wolf. >> no u.s. military or local police state aircraft were scrambled at any point to deal with this, is that right? >> reporter: right. norad saying that -- you're absolutely right

and then correspondent tom foreman analyzing the likely ingredients of the burrito its. >> hillary clintonnning for president or selling pot, we're not sure. >> she made other stops on the way to iowa. we just got the photos minutes ago. just pretepid. she stopped by, she stopped by a water park to show she's a regular person. she fought for a sweater at the dress barn just like a regular -- yeah. and she crowd-surfed at coachella and had a blast. >> i am curious to know if sales have gone up for burrito bowls. >> we know exactly what she sate. >> with goouacamole. >> thanks for hanging with us. "good morning america" coming your way. have a good week end, folks. >> breaking news, philadelphia police shoot and wound a man in frankford. we have a live report on what led police to that scene in the first place. >> "action news" has video police say of a car that hit and killed a little boy. >> accuweather has rain for the morning commute. >> let's go over to karen rogers in for david murphy, and matt pellman has traffic, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, we have rain to deal with this

he is not surprised by their scheme and that he believes this type of stuff happens all the time tom foreman from our partnership with cnn explains. >> reporter: tsa officers using their high-tech scanners to identify, plus side and then broke attractive male passengers. that is what authorities say was going on at the denver international until the two officers involved a man and woman were caught and lost their jobs and that that is not enough to or five many fliers now comes this from the time magazine the bigger issue here is a systematic one there are far too many federal hand on people's private parts and airports the writer is jason and harrington a former tsa agent when says this sort of thing happens all the time in airports everywhere he writes the aged running his or her hands over you after you pass to the scanner is almost never do it for good reasons that's more he adds that comes will likely never even know they were assaulted since so many passengers have their private parts vital to be sure harrington has written fiery critiques of the tsa before notably this one called dear

tom foreman is live in the virtual room along with chris harmer a former u.s. navy officer. they're there to show us how all of this might play out as the tensions escalate. tom. >> hi jake. yemen is right peer. the u.s. forces are coming this way, the iranian forces coming this way. this is the line of convergence. look at the size of the force that we're talking about. u.s. force about 12 u.s. naval ships and the iranians someone between seven and nine of their own vessels coming in. and even though this looks like a big standoff you're saying that nobody here intends to shoot anything. >> that's correct. it's been other a quarter of a century since they actually fought each other. both sides want to avoid an inadvertent escalation. we don't coordinate directly with each other but we deconflict to make sure we don't inadvertently escalate the situation. >> we see the fighter jets out there and we saw the tomahawk missiles and all of the potential for these coming into play, the actual goal here is to make sure that these do not come in to play and yet, while everyone is loo

. >> tom foreman joins us. do we know if they did give them an hour notice. the fact that he was able to pull this off and land on the capitol lawn people you have cell phone are they surprised by that? >> reporter: people are astonished by it. they are trying ascertain how much truth is involved. undeniably plenty of people knew about it in some fashion and the real concern here is we have an air defense system. right now i'm standing under what should be a very specific portion of highly highly protected airspace and it's built to protect against things like missile attacks and jet fighters and yet as you pointed out a guy in a flying lawn chair was able to make his way in here flying for two years from gettysburg pennsylvania where they believe he took off. that's a long way to go at a very slow pace for no one to intercept him or do anything about it. >> it's incredible. president obama was not in town when this unfoldled but was briefed on what happened. so i understand you were walking around the capitol building killing time before a job interview. can
