the united states has been infiltrated by soviet spies. nothing more serious than the atomic weapons program and the rosenbergs paid the price. what we have, then n the united states is a full-fledged red scare. we talked about this after world war i in the 1920s. this is a second red scare. we're afraid the united states has been infiltrated. we are suspicious of everyone and everything. your next door neighbor might be a spy. it's your american responsibility, your duty, to report suspicious activity. the band leader, synonymous with the red scare and flushing out the communists, wherever they might be, is this fellow. recognize him? yeah, joseph mccarthy, senator from wisconsin. united states senator from wisconsin. what he's going to do is gain a lot of attention in 1950. he's going to go to wheeling, west virginia. he's going to deliver a speech. in part of that speech, he's going to hold up a piece of paper. he says, i hold her in my hand a list of 205 names of known communists working in the state department. see i have a piece of p

you know they're trying to infiltrate our organization. i want to first ask you about your polygraphs that you do conduct with employees prior to employment. if you can elaborate on what some of your findings have been in terms of these pre-employment screenings. >> yes, thank you very much, mr. chairman for that question. as i mentioned in my oral interview, we've begun -- we began doing polygraphs in 2008, and we've done about 10,000 polygraphs, about 400 a month. come january of 2013 under the anti-border corruption act, we're mandated to do all law enforcement officers and we will meet that mandate of 2013. matter of fact, we'll meet that mandate sometime this summer. so this summer, we'll have 100% of our law enforcement officers undergoing a polygraph prior to coming on board as a law enforcement officer. so, of those 10,000 polygraphs that we've done, we have discovered a whole host of individuals that applied to be border patrol agents or customs and border protection officers. and the polygraph was able to identify individuals tha

double agents infiltrated the terrorist cell in yemen.out the plot, his hands on the new sophisticated bomb, and left the country with it. they it is remarkable, considering how careful a kaukauna screens its recruits. >> quite an accomplishment to be able to pass yourself off as an all cut a terrorist to the terrorists win in fact you are working for the u.s. or allied intelligence. abc news reports the fbi plans to make a replica of that bomb and send it through airport security to test the system. is comes amid revelations that airport security equipment is sitting at a government warehouse gathering dust. >> we have a store that use of first on seven. another john mccain attack against president obama's victory lap a year after the death of bin laden. >> heroes don't brag. his continue was bragging about taking out bin laden, let somebody else talk about that. >> the republican senator made the remarks to abc 7 last night during an event honoring vietnam war veterans and prisoners of war. president obama toyoda is accomplishments of w

we also found out that hackers have been infiltrating everything from our defense networks to the financial systems. bank robbers are now stealing more money with computers than they are with guns. >> this map is showing a visual representation of where all of the known infections of conficker are across the world. >> computer analysts say it's like a sleeper cell, and it may be poised to suck sensitive data out of millions and millions of computers. >> it takes time to read the manuals. i'm gonna save you that time. 'cause i stay home on saturday nights and read them for you. >> you and the rest of the geeks? >> there's millions of us out there. >> everybody, let's hear it! geek squad!

they have the paranoia of infiltration, so everyone is vetted.have like them, dress like them, think like them in order to infiltrate them. you've got to have a history of being in the region and communicating with the same type of people. so it is very difficult to infiltrate, but nonetheless, as i've explained in my book "a time to betray," i did even recruit for the cia deep within the revolutionary guard. so cia obviously tries its best to infiltrate, to gather intelligence and to prevent disaster, such as this one. >> how did you, reza, make the decision in your mind, in your heart, to do what a lot of people would say is betraying your country. in this case your country was iran. how did you decide to become a spy to work for the cia? >> i had a lot of anxiety about it. actually you are right because part of me felt that i'm betraying my country. i always tried to think that i was betraying the system, trying to help my people. but on horrific events, i saw suppression, rape, torture, execution and i saw injustice and i couldn't stand by an

infiltration do you think is currently an anonymous i mean we know that there was an informant and the stratfor leaks do you think that that's elements of it are compromised are you willing to come out right now and say that you are not an informant i mean i am not an informant for the f.b.i. if i was i'd be living a lot more to cover. that than i have right now i mean i'm on the run i go from coffee house coffee house city to city my lawyer can verify for you a lot of the details of the lifestyle i live but it's not a pleasant lifestyle it's not one of luxury and i certainly would be living better than i am now what about anonymous as a whole i mean do you think that there are elements that have been compromised more so that we are not. i think we're massively infiltrated i think this is always been a problem for an organization that wants to be open to new membership and to have it so we do it in. a horizontal organization i think it's always going to be open to that sort of thing but this is not new this goes back to the sixty's would point go pro in the eighty's when i was in the a

other online attacks have seen millions of dollars stolen from banks and defense systems infiltrated. it's why, as we first reported in november of 2009, some people are already saying that the next big war is less likely to begin with a bang than a blackout. >> can you imagine your life without electric power? >> until february 2009, retired admiral mike mcconnell was the nation's top spy. as chief of national intelligence, he oversaw the central intelligence agency, the defense intelligence agency and the national security agency. few people know as much about cyber warfare, and our dependency on the power grid, and the computer networks that deliver our oil and gas, pump and purify our water, keep track of our money, and operate our transportation systems. >> if i were an attacker and i wanted to do strategic damage to the united states, i would either take the cold of winter or the heat of summer, i probably would sack electric power on the u.s. east cost, maybe the west coast, and attempt to cause a cascading effect. all of those things are in the art of the possible from a sophi

the good news he infiltrated. the bad news he could be, out for his safety so we will have to work harder to get other assets inside the cells. good news he was there. bad news we need more people to infiltrate so we can "drone" them. >>shepard: one thing confirmed no matter what we do to protect ourselves with t.s.a. and the rest they are trying to figure out ways around that. >>guest: they will continue to do this. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to make a bomb, or how to implant bombs in a bed. if you have the internet you have intelligence people with information. and access to materials, they will be able to construct the explosives. that means we have to get better at detection and we have to have much more intelligence sharing inside and outside so we are able to look from our skies and with our partners. and also have people on the ground. but we cannot afford to be come place enand we have to understand and invest in research and development and new technology because they will try to take advantage of

is there to prevent infiltration by terrorists and the smuggling of weapons.human traffickers are also at work. they want to halt smuggling of african migrants. more and more people are being struggled -- smuggled across the border. the human rights group provides free medical aid. this man describes the violence he experienced at the hands of the smugglers. >> he was beaten upside down. even his reproductive organs were beaten. until he paid 5000. >> he was dropped off at the border and he crossed into israel on foot. his future remains uncertain. >> israel is entitled to decide who gets into its territory. but i think they can not just to build fences and come up with laws against infiltration. they also have to do something positive. they have to come up with migration policy. >> the israeli government relies on the sense to stem immigration. >> we want to reduce the -- of our borders with egypt. egypt has become dangerous because of work opportunities. >> the migrants are not jewish. the refugee agency says that complicates the asylum process in israel. >>

that our intelligence apparently infiltrated al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. that to me seems to be the biggest news. is that fair to say? >> it's fair to say we're working really well with the yemenese and saudis. if you go back to 2010, that cargo plane plot, the saws saudis gave us a tip-off. they're doing a good job infiltrating. >> a source when we learned of his ied we started tracking it before we grabbed it, and more importantly it's my understanding that the tracking of this ied gave us the intelligence necessary for the drone attack that killed this, the person we believe -- the successor to -- is that your understanding? >> absolutely. no coincidence that. >> no. working together. >> about shresolutely. identifying a plot well in advance allowing us to collect intelligence from all people involved, disrupt the plot and take down other elements of the network. why the white house was bent out of shape that the a.p. went with the story when they did. there was nor operational activity going on. >> all of this debate. how much do you go public or not?

>> infiltration is possible war in the conduct of another operation that came across this. it is unclear how close to the inner circle. that has always been one of the most difficult aspects because a group like al qaeda, they have known each other for years but they have fought together in afghanistan. the ability of a western government to insert an operative is tricky. nonetheless, because we have been able to take out some money operatives -- there is room at the top. >> the defense secretary said that al qaeda possibility to operate as a coherent structure is limited, but it is struggling to survive in this format. what we have seen is a strong body in the arabian peninsula. now, there are about half thousand fighters. >> this was court al qaeda, those that bin laden, his circle in the tribal regions of pakistan and they probably cannot have the ability to conduct today the kind of attack that came on 9/11. most of the capability has moved to the affiliate's. bin laden have an ambivalent view about al-sabah us, potentially in nigeria. we have much more limitations but

something happens inside the organization when you get infiltrated. everybody becomes very suspicious of everyone else. what that ends up doing is sort of slowing up the process of getting a plot off the ground. in other words, they keep looking over their shoulders to see if there's someone they ought to be looking twice at. someone who might be passing on information. because of that, they're extra careful and that gives perhaps either saudi intelligence or u.s. intelligence a little more time to thwart a plot. >> brown: what's your sense of that? the kind of thing you can do once and it's harder to do another time because everybody gets more careful? what happens? >> i would say harder but not too hard. remember, these folks are motivate bid religious conviction. they're never going to go home again. they can't and they won't. so as dina said, they might go to ground for a bit but that's a short-term solution. you have people who in yemen are gaining ground. they're gaining tkpwr +*epbs against the government. they may have more safe haven to plan

how did this anonymous agent infiltrate al qaeda? how did he leave yemen? and who actually recruited him? information from the agent appears to have led to the killing of fahd al-quso in a drone strike on sunday. al qae operative and had escaped from prison having been convicted for involvement in the -- for the bombing in the warship. but this man is still at large. he actually designed and makes this ever more sophisticated bombs. it looks like airport security is going to have to be reviewed yet again. the latest device now being analyzed have no metal parts and might not have been discovered on a simple body search. >> let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. ukraine's jailed opposition leader has been taken to a hospital. he has agreed to end the three-week hunger strike and will be treated by doctors after authorities banned her from going aboard. she says she was beaten in prison and needs treatment for chronic back pain. in the u.k., a gang of pakistani have given long prison sentences for their involve

sensors along what became known as the ho chi minh trail, to pinpoint where the north vietnamese infiltrators and materiel was coming from, and he set up a position to do that. and in the end it didn't work. i've since speculated that with the capabilities that we now have, but did not then have, how much more capable -- how much better that would have worked. well, there are two problems, even now. one is that jungles aren't as easily penetrable as sensors as deserts are, and the other is that the big problem was not only the viet cong in the south and the infiltration and in the end invasion by the north vietnamese, it was the weakness and corruption of the south vietnamese government. as the vietnam war went on, mcnamara had less and less time for other matters. so the decisions were often passed down to the deputy secretary of defense. and they didn't have quite the same quality. my conclusion from all of this is that four years is long enough. there's an old saying that, for a secretary of defense, there's an old saying that in washington, friends come and go, but enemies accumulate. and

the man has not been identified but authorities say the spy infiltrated the terror cell posing as a double agent emmett learned the plot got his hands on a bomb and left yemen with it. the fbi is investigating the device described by officials as an upgrade to the underwear bomb that al-qaeda attempted to use in the past. this is remarkable work given that al-qaeda usually carefully screens its recruits. >> it's an accomplishment to pass yourself off as an to the terrorists when you are working for a u.s. or ally the bomb in his original state before it goes off, u.s. experts now are able to figure out how the bomb works, how it might be detected. >> reporter: fbi agents plan to make a replica of the underwear bomb and send it through airport security to test the system. sherrie johnson, abc2 news. >>> today a jury is going to hear arguments in the trial of a campaign consullant accused of using ro about. o calls to suppress the black voter turnout in the 2010 gubernatorial election. he worked for robert ehrlich. henson is charged way tempting to influence voters decision on whether to go

he also accused turkey of harboring armed groups which are infiltrating syria committing crimes and returning back to turkey the syrian ambassador said what also undermines kofi annan his plan is the inflow of arms into syria now both the syrian ambassador to the u.n. and even the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. noted that there has been a decrease of violence in syria but the international envoy kofi annan said there is still a profound concern that syria is descending into full on civil war up to one hundred international observers are already working there the only said the number will reach three hundred by the end of the month so there's going to be more eyes on the ground as of now he said and i'm going to i'm going to quote here there has been a worrying episodes of violence by the government but we have also seen attacks against government forces troops and installations it's very interesting how the u.s. ambassador susan rice responded to the claims made by the syrian ambassador she brushed off the question about terrorists and then she went on talking about those who took up arms to fig

inintelligence agencies infiltrating al qaeda in yemen. and foiling a plot to bomb u.s. aircraft. remarkable work, given that al qaeda carefully screens recruits. >> it's quite an accomplishment to pass yourself off as an al qaeda terrorist, to the terrorists, when in fact, you're working for a u.s. or allied intelligence agency. >> reporter: the man has not been identified. but the spy infiltrated, posing as a double-agent, learned of the plot, got his hands on the bomb and left yemen with it. it's an upgrade of the underwear bomb being used in the past. it's being studied by the fbi. >> by having the bomb in its arran original state, before it goes off, u.s. experts are able to figure out how the bomb works. how it might be detected. >> reporter: a new report raises questions about what the government is doing to stop terror attacks. equipment, hundreds of baggage scanners, explosive detection systems and bomb detection systems are in storage, in a government warehouse. while hundreds of airports across the country, go unprotected by the best bomb-scanning technology. >> obvious

is it possible they have infiltrated greece and turkey? this is exactly what we've been warned about. stalin is not just content with controlling eastern europe, now he's spreading his influence down into the mediterranean. now that's not the case. we know that today. in 1947 it fit perfectly with our suspicions of stalin and the soviet union, so we're going to get involved. we're going to send $400 million worth of aid to try to prop them up to defend themselves against this insurgency. second element of containment, the marshall plan, named after george marshall. $13 billion, as it turns out, $13 billion of economic assistance to rebuild western europe. world war ii has devastated france, belgium, the netherlands, britain. they are in weakened state. as long as they are in a weakened state, they are susceptible to influence, foreign influence, communist influence. when people are at their bottom rung they're willing to listen to anyone who offers them a different message of hope, whatever. the best way to hold back communist expansion is

but the spy was able to infiltrate the cells, get his hands on a bomb and get the bomb out of the country through saudi arabia last week. >> we had confidence that we had control that it was not an active threat at that time. >> reporter: the bomb is being described as an upgrade to the underwear bomb used three years ago in a failed attempt to bring down a detroit-bound jet liner. this new design is described as being made with a different chemical formula, with dual detonation systems, to make it easier to set off. >> by having the bomb in its original state, before it goes off, u.s. experts now are able to figure out how the bomb works, how it might be detected. it's'ser when the bomb is still intact. >> reporter: still there's great concern the bomb maker, 30-year-old ibrahim al asiri, is working on other bomb designed, including bombs surgically implonted in terrorists, even in picture frames and radios, as shown in this al qaeda video. >> they keep trying to devise more terrible ways to kill innocent people. >> in this case, the bomber was the source working for the u.s. anand other

if stalin is trying to infiltrate this area or this country, we must be there. stop them, thwart them. hold them back, contain their expansion. this is what kennen is advising. and so the days of cooperation are gone. the days of containment are here. this is going to mean that the united states is going to have a dramatic shift in foreign policy that largely lasts up to this day where we are going to become sort of the big brother to the world. we are going to be involved in other countries around the world. the days of isolationism are gone now. how does containment play itself out? well, 1947 is a big year for the cold war. harry truman is now going to start to describe for the american people and for the world what containment actually means. there's trouble in greece and turkey. after world war ii, both greece and turkey are struggling financially. politically. there's rebellions. there's insurrections in these twos countries. harry truman is going to develop what's known as the truman doctrine in which the united states is going to send over $400 million w

is the pipe leaking; are you having a lot of infiltration or inflow? thornell: every time it rains, water will come down, go into the pipe, enter the sewer system. it's very easy to repair this defect and get all that water out of the system. griffin: with our closed-circuit tv inspection, we record cracks, holes, pipes that are partially collapsed. hunter: we literally will have a digital video of every foot of our sewer that in the future, we can go back and do a comparison. what's changed? is it degrading? what do we need to do? at what rate is this happening? griffin: to really improve these systems, you need to deploy the latest technology. woman: the pipe bursting process is designed to replace an old pipe without digging an entire trench. the old pipe has cracks and displaced joints and openings in it. we try to stop, not only infiltration, but exfiltration, where sewage would actually leak out of the pipe. the head is larger, so it breaks away the old pipe and allows the new pipe to come in behind it. griffin: we are saving about 67% of the cos
