federal the messiers -- federal investigators took jack johnson and his wife in handcuffs. they are charged with tampering with a witness and destruction of records in a federal investigation. >> this involves allegations that real estate investors have been paying off officials for official action. >> according to an affidavit, fbi agents have been monitoring the county executive's movement through wiretaps and other methods as far back as 2007. investigations reveal payments to johnson from real estate investigator for $100,000 in one instance and $5,000 in another. today, agents allegedly interrupted a $15,000 payoff to johnson from the developer. >> jack johnson was permitted to leave that interview. he made a series of telephone calls to his wife, leslie johnson. >> that is what david says, monitored by fbi agents, including johnson instructing his walk to destroy a $100,000 check. he -- she asked, "de wanted to put it down the toilet?" johnson replies, "yes, flush it." officials retrieved $6,000 from leslie johnson's underwear. >> we still have several real- estate de

things are about to get messier, too. a national group is planning to boycott is scanners on wednesday, opting for pat-downs. that would easily gum up with works. the scans take ten seconds while the pat-downs can take minutes. clearly, both are catch ago hot of eat. here's the problem. pat-downs and scanners don't catch terror attempts like the ones we've most recently seen. like the underwear bomber or those cargo plots. you're not going to catch the cargo bombers, not to mention the massive amount of money we're spending on false solutions. the budget, $8.2 billion. the amount of money al-qaeda spent on those two cargo plots. $4,200. let's talk about the passenger perspective with the director of the consumer travel alliance. we won't make you deal with the whole kit and kaboodle here, but just from the passenger's perspective and i harken back to a conversation i had saying that the israeli population would never put wup this as a way to live, as a result, they had to figure out another way to do this because they cou

there are a lot of these different issues that i think maybe a little messier than in other areas. >> elected the issues apply to screenings as well. the need individual impairment of prevalent in the community you are looking at to find it began . it uridine with an uncommon condition -- if you are dealing with an uncommon condition, linking that requires a large sample to do capiit. they can test a number of things but then they will have records available to monitor that. the downside is gathering that information sufficiently. particularly have a limited amount of time. we are told me considering larger scales studies to try to narrow that a bit. >> is there a danger of using screening tools that have not been evaluated? >> i think that is a tough one. i think there can be negative consequences when screening tills are not valid. it is a dilemma. people need resources to use burda i think with screening, that is one reason why it is so important to confine the outcome to being the first step. i think this would be extremely dangerous. >> it is a little bit like the anti-jeopardy.

you do not have to get into the must messy -- much messier domestic issues. these foreign policies issues. >> i think that the republican leadership and the president will find common ground on afghanistan. i do not assume that all members -- many members of the liberal caucus and the democratic caucus and some members, including rand paul, who have great concerns about operations in afghanistan -- where the members are coming in, where they will necessarily be on that. i'll say that there will be an effort to find common ground at the leadership level. the two things that i would also point out, what will happen in iran? the closest thing to the next war, i would say. and then what will happen with china, which is this 800 million billion pound gorilla. >> the largest guerrilla ever known. [laughter] >> and one of the most effective campaign ads this season was put together by citizens against government waste, with a chinese guy was talking about how america squandered its great heritage. i think that china is on the mind and should be on the mind of farm p

. >> for today we have a mixed bag as the golden gate bridge looks messier and san francisco is lookinge are often gone in a slow start to the storm? >> yes it is the latter part of your day that will give us the better chance to see some showers and it is going to be overcast today and on and is looking and the weather really does start today in a rain and not only ran the snow. we are expecting to possibly seize and sell in the bay area for some of the higher peaks of here's a look your current temperatures, we're in the '50s pretty much everywhere you go, low to mid 50's. life for o'clock he will see it some showers and a chance for showers does pick up as we head towards the 8:00 hour, you can see a darker shade of green indicating just that and by evening we will continue to see showers overnight and into saturday morning. your saturday has a good chance of bringing rate for everybody at 10:00 at night all of this field here shows moderate rainfall and a darker shade too so we are expected to see some rainfall pick up on saturday night and into sunday as well. sunday is a little mo

think that it offers people a box to check on bipartisanship without having to get into a lot of the messierissues which are upsetting people. i wouldn't draw a distinction between the foreign policies and trade. i think trade is a domestic issue more than a foreign policy issue. >> i would make a couple observations. first, i think that the republican leadership and the president will find common ground on afghanistan. i do not assume though that all members, many members of the liberal caucus and democratic caucus, and some minister including rand paul who have great concerns about operations in afghanistan, where the members coming in, where they will necessarily be on the. so i would say that i think there will be an effort to find common ground as the leadership level. the two things that i would also observe, what's going to happen with iran, which is the closest thing to the next war i would say that in and what could happen china, which i think is this 800 million, billion pound gorilla in the room, which is -- >> the largest guerrilla ever known. [laughter] >> the largest guerrilla

i think it's going to be a much messier process. >> i thank all of you. before i open up to general questions, i've got two topics tied into exactly what's going on here, and i'd like quick responses so we can get to the audience. first, i want to talk about the car bankruptcies and then the possibility of bankruptcy declared by a state. but first, i've heard mr. 11 says well maybe it wasn't so bad. i heard the two professors say yes it was so bad and i've heard professor coal say we should have soved it outside of bankruptcy. but i didn't hear what that would be. you've each got a minute. you are in charge of the government fr a minute and you have chrysler in front of you. what are you going to do? you didn't like what they did. professor leven, give them what they wanted? >> chairman chrysler would have filed two years before they did. so that the debt markets could have been open and we would have avoidd this entire mess in the first place. i don't think it's good to make a habit of government in possession financing. but i think given the state of th

. >> so there's a lot of these different issues that i think make it maybe a little messier than in other areas. >> i think also the same that the same methodological issues that i was describing before for the interventions apply to screening as well. so unique individual in paramount's of sufficient prevalence in the community better looking at to find an independent on the outcome that you choose, you need a large enough study. if you're dealing with a relatively uncommon functional impairment or condition and a relatively uncommon event such as a crash, then linking those two together requires a large sample to be able to do that. part of the problem is gathering enough of that. some of the best efforts have been state based, large state-based programs where they're having a large number of drivers that come through, test a number of things and follow those people are at record available to monitor that in looking at different systems in doing that. the downside is a gathering that information sufficiently in that environment, particularly if you have a limited amount of time with tho

i think it's just going to be a much messier process. >> ok, thank all of you. before i go to general questions, i have two topics tied to what is going on here, and i would like quick responses so we can get to the audience. first i want to talk about the car bankruptcy's and then briefly about the possibility of bankruptcy declared by a state. first, i have heard maybe it was not so bad. i have heard professors skeel and zwicki say it was bad. you have each got a minute. you are now in charge of the government for a minute and you have chrysler in front of you. what are you going to do? you did not like what they did. ?rofessor lubben >> in my ideal world, i think gm and chrysler should have filed two years before they did so that the debt markets would have been open and we would have not been in this situation in the first place. i think given the state of the debt market, is when those automotive cases happened, they had to do it. in my ideal world, they would have filed two years earlier. a normal chapter 11. >> what would you have done with chrysler in pa

there a a lot of these different issues that make it messier than in other areas. >> a lot of the same methodological issues describing before applied to a screening as well. unique individual and parents of sufficient prevalence and depended on the outcome uni a large enough study. if you are dealing with an uncommon condition and uncommon event such as a crash, linking those together requires a large sample to do that. part of the problem is gathering that. some of the best efforts have been a state-based. they have a large number of drivers coming through and having the records available to monitor that. the downside is gathering that information sufficiently, particularly if you have a limited amount of time you have less detailed information on them. gathering that information, putting it together and considering larger scale studies is the way to try to narrow that. >> is there a danger in using screening tools that are not evaluated? are these better than no screening at all? >> i think that is a tough one, because i think there can beat negative consequences when screening tool
