bill to crack down on who gets in is called precheck is precheck. and it just passed the house of representatives. abc 7 news reporter amy hollyfield is live at sfo to explain. hi, amy. >> good morning. take a look at the main security line and how long it is right now. sometimes when that line gets too long they will pull people out and move them over here to the tsa precheck line just to speed things along. you can see, though, right now the tsa precheck line is kind of long and this what is congress wants to avoid. this is what congress is talking about putting a stop to this because this line is supposed to be speedy. the bill will ban people who aren't precheck approved from getting into the precheck line. these people pay for this privilege and expect a quicker experience. but we've been talking to people at sfo, we haven't found many who are upset that people from the main line get to use their line. they're a bit surprised that congress is even getting involved in this. >> i don't know if i care for other people coming into the precheck line

is precheck. it just passed the house of representatives. abc 7 news reporter amy hollyfield is live at sfo for us. hi, amy. >> hi, good morning, jessica. see how this line is getting long, this is the general main line for security. sometimes to ease this line they will pull people out and let them come over here where there is no line to the tsa precheck. well, this is a line that people have paid money for and some have complained, so congress is nowoingot traveler this morning who was surprised to hear this. he says he just doesn't think it's that big of a deal. >> precheck, you pay for it, so it is something that, you know, it's an added benefit you have to pay for, but i understand if there's no line, then in order to expedite the other people it would be okay to move them into the precheck line. as long as it gets people through safely and as quickly as possible i think it would be fine with me. >> congress is talking about bringing an end to this and only letting people into the tsa preche

i rise in support of h.r. 6265, the precheck act of 2018. and i yield myself as much time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. mrs. watson coleman: thank you, mr. speaker. in 2011 the transportation and security administration launched a precheck program to expedite vetted, known travelers through airport checkpoint screenings. today t.s.a. precheck is in more than 200 airports nationwide. improving security by allowing t.s.a. to focus its resources on the passengers it knows the least about, who may pose a higher risk to the aviation system. while precheck has generally proven popular with passengers, there is a concern that t.s.a. has straight from the program's original intent. in an effort to manage checkpoint wait times, t.s.a. has put travelers who are not enrolled in precheck into ex despite -- expedited screening lanes. while i recognize that large crouds of passengers waiting at checkpoints could pose a security risk, the way to prevent long lines is to staff checkpoints sufficiently, not to abuse

lane passenger is by definition less because a precheck passenger has given more information to theovernment, has provided a biometric to the government. therefore we recognized we have more knowledge of that person's background and provide them a different level of screening than a passenger who didn't provide that information. this new technology will allow us to one better validate that the driver's license or passport that you provide is in fact authentic. rather than the officer looking down and examining visually the credential the machine will verify the authenticity of the credential. additionally the machines are connected to our execute flight data base which basically allows us to see what the rick of that passenger is precheck standard lane or perhaps a selectee, and also gives us the flight information for that passenger. for passengers once the deck following is deployed they won't have to display a boarding pace. we have cases every monday where we have a fraudulent id or boarding pass presented at the checkpoint. finally from a technology perspective we are working t

this prohibits them from having tsa precheck. which is quite an inconvenience. now, the airport is beg proactive. they have expansion plans, $1.5 million to add one processing lane at each concourse. here's our problem. we don't have an assurance from your agency that they will staff and provide the necessary resources for these additional lanes which are going to be done based on a local $1.5 million expansion plan. can you work with us on that? can you commit your agency's support to provide the necessary resources after we've done this. >> yes, sir, i can. i'm sure the director is already involved in the process. every year we look at where our resources are allocated and adjust those allocations based on what we see as throughmuch. our primary metric is passenger throughput going through that particular airport. we also have a desire to continue to enhance the tsa pre- check brand. and part of that process is to make sure that we have more predictable hours for pre-check lanes to be open and closed. when we do have the 0. we have more and more airlines signi

to achieve its original vision for the precheck program. i urge my colleagues to support it. and i yooled back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yield. mr. katko: mr. speaker, i want echo the sentments of the gentlelady. she is exactly right. this program is not being used. the idea of precheck is to have a known trusted traveler program where someone walks through and combets a different level of scrutiny. when you put people through that same lane and get a different level of scrutiny they shouldn't have, it defeats the purpose of the bill. and with terrorism the way it is today and attacking our aviation industry, we shouldn't be caught in corners. we need to have more people staffing these lapes and better running of the precheck program. but if you cannot cut corners when it comes to security. so therefore, i urge my colleagues to support h.r. 6265 and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill as amended. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in

and we're taking a live look at sfo right now because changes could be coming to the tsa precheck. >>fort to stop nonmembers from using the special lanes. >> good morning. on this friday, september 7th. >> you are never more than seven minutes away from your accuweather forecast. meteorologist mike nicco says it's going to be a hot day, right, mike? >> absolutely. especially inland where you can see no clouds. the gray, mainly around the east bay shoreline and along the coast. we're going to wake up with more sunshine earlier this morning, but tempertures are still pretty cool in the mid 50s, even a few upper 40s in the north bay. now look by noon you'll already notice it looks different and feels different. especially inland we're in the low 80s. everywhere else 50s and 60s. 4:00, we're in the mid 60s at the coast, upper 70s around the bay and 90s. there's your push o

if you don't do the tsa precheck. >> dana: never wear tight shoes and tall boots when you're flying. know kennedy you will answer this. what's your favorite back-to-school memory? >> kennedy: the first day of school, a few times, it was my birthday. that was the very best. especially when you're younger kid, walking around on going it's my birthday! one year, i had a birthday party and all of my friends got to walk from school with presidents. it was awesome. >> dana: do you have a favorite back-to-school memory? >> greg: the best thing was buying the supplies. going to the drugstore aisle and piling things in. we also went to the liquor stor store. cigar boxes. you got some cigar boxes as pencil boxes and i would sell them. >> jesse: you were probably just happy that summer school was over. >> dana: you remember -- i love back-to-school shopping. my favorite memory. the trapper keeper. >> jesse: velcro. >> dana: way to bring it full circle. >> juan: shopping is pretty good. part of it is, your mom would take you for a new shirt or new sneakers. to me, lunch boxes. >> greg: yeah. >>

. >>> making tsa precheck sound better. don't have to use the bins. taking a look at the bay bridge toll plaza, we have the metering lights on this morning. pretty early, couple minutes after yesterday's official time. 5:21. things are stacked up into the maze for everyone unless you are using the carpool lanes. that is the one exception. quick check of drive times, not terrible on the central valley but heavy westbound 580, tracy to dublin, antioch to concord in the yellow at 31. filling in too. north bay commute, san rafael to san francisco, 16 minutes. let's head over to meteorologist mike nicco. >> all right. thank you very much. the pacific is still very active with norman a category 1 and olivia up to a 3. not worried about olivia. it's going to take a farther north track than what we're seeing with norman as it tracks to the north. over the next 24 to 48 hours, it is going to push some really intense waves, heights up to 18 feet. a high surf warning in the areas you see red, which is pretty much all the islands until about 6:00 friday morning h

kind of steps you through the different criteria you have for your own travel and nmplgts the tsa precheck program. probably november six million or seven million in cvp's global entry. on any given day on a busy day in the summer. we had 2.5 million people go through our security checkpoints, i see continued growth in the pre-check program. it's good for security and good for the passenger experience. >> in response to earlier questions, principally from senator nelson. you talked about 3-d-printed firearms and your efforts to make sure you're protecting us from those firearms. my question to you is what about international coordination? are there other countries preparing for this threat? and are they taking measures to insure that they are not trafficked on flights or used on board to harm passengers, particularly those who may be heading towards the united states? and what are some of the lessons we can learn from what you're seeing around the world? >> we coordinate closely with our partners around the world. with respect to threat information in exchange. and then also some of our ot

so now the faa is looking at putting some type of restriction on that and then also you have -- precheck that means it is vibl in a lot more airports around this country and all voted on this week because funding for faa programs ends september 30th which means they're going to need to get this through part of the new budgeting package for the fa airings. >> who will vote against more leg room. there will be more varney after this. . . . . pier. ♪ stuart: we went there. lucy in the sky with diamonds. 1967 or something? i was alive. okay. look, look at the big board. seems like toxic politics and trade news is beginning to affect the market. now we're down 135 points. that is a half percentage point. big techs mostly lower this morning. facebook up a fraction. apple up a fraction. microsoft is also on the downside. mixed bag for the big techs. >>> back to those allegations of sexual misconduct against brett kavanaugh and the media reaction to those claims. we have howard kurtz. host of "mediabuzz" on the fox news channel. there is a second unproven allegation. how would you judge the medi

this means no more prechecked boxes, no take it or leave it offers and no default consents. the second principle is transparency. consumers should be given the information they need to make an informed decision. explanations about how companies collect, use and maintain consumers' data should be easy to understand and readily available. the third is parody. consumers are best served by a uniformed framework that is applied consistently across the entire on-line ecosystem. it should not be based on who is collecting the information or whether a service is free or paid. the fourth principle is uniformity. for these protections to be effective, there should be a national standard that protects consumers on-line privacy whether a consumer's information is pro tected should not depend on where they live or travel. the final principle is security. at charter we believe privacy is security and security is privacy. strong security practices should include safeguards that protect against all unauthorized access against on-line information. we support the adoption of federal legislati
