national security and homeland security the lines were. we stood up the north commit out in colorado springs. we don't enforce our combatant commands begot homeland defense and homeland they could. it's difficult. because this issue of national security is a broad enterprise designed in 1947 by the national security act but the fact is when you start looking at the threats, opportunities and the moving parts, the former threats in sri lanka over jakarta i once because of globalization and the issues of the day are really and homeland as well. we have to look at how do we get structures that best suit that. so again and there will be future changes to the u.s. government structures whether we stand up to czars or whatever we call them. the nomenclature may change but will have to have versatile adaptive nonlinear leaders who are able to think on their feet and bring your experience your approach, your personality to get solutions to quantify and help leaders make better decisions at gravitas and reputation will only get you so far as a czar

-- cyber security efforts. by creating that unit within ccips, we were already focus on cyber security, but this is a dedicated unit to make sure that cyber security gets the constant regular security it deserves and warrants. ccips has extensive security experience, that will concentrate that in a relatively small group of people. what the cyber security unit will do -- we are already doing it. it's been in effect now for almost six months. they have been analyzing and providing legal guidance on cyber security issues. to the extent they appliquÉd fettle -- they implicate federal laws. they're working with congress on cyber security related legislation priorities. i have been working with the national security council and others in the executive branch on various cyber security initiatives. most important for this audience, they are actively engaged with the private sector and the public at large to address the kind of legal challenges related to cyber security. i'm happy to announce that even though it's only

shot at a security officer. then, in response, police, garland police, shoot at the two alleged suspects and then they die. that is what we understand right now. kxas has been our affiliate in the air providing us information. let's go to what they're broadcasting now live for a moment. take a moment. >> just released from the hospital. >> police shot and killed the two men who opened fire. we have live team coverage starting with jocelyn lockwood. you were literally next to officers as they secured the scene. tell us about that. >> i was, and to be honest i'm here with officers. this is a very active police scene. it's been all day as extra security was called in just for this event. but right now, i would like to bring in joe harn with the garland police department keeping us abreast of the situation as it develops. thank you for joins us. tell us what happened. >> just before 7:00 we were outside. we heard gunshots at the front of the event center. officers started responding to that area. what we found out,

state data security laws. also, many states have so-called ftc acts, unreasonable data security practices. finally, retailers voluntarily and by contract follow a variety of security standards including those maintained by pci and iso. while retailers comply with the range of data breach notice and requirements, a carefully crafted federal data breach law clear of regulatory confusion can protect and notify customers better. they support legislation that's practice call and proportional and sets a single national standard. this supports data breach legislation that creates a single national notification center allowing businesses to focus on quickly providing affected individuals with actionable information that ensures that targeted notice is required only when there's an actual risk of identity theft, economic loss, or harm. that ensures that the responsibility to notice is that of the entity breached but provides flexibility for entities to notify the party, establishes personal information, recognizes that

as we have -- as you pointed out, aviation security, border security. senator franken: i understand. secretary johnson: administration of our immigration laws. there is the general rule we should not engage in racial profiling. that is still the case, that was the case before, that's the case now. nationality, given the nature of our mission, is taken into account, for example. i have heard, just as you have heard from the somali community in minneapolis that because of the profiling that they perceive occurs at the minneapolis airport they prefer to go to chicago. i have heard the exact same thing. i asked t.s.a. to undertake an evaluation and study of that. they have come back to those in the community to address the concerns. i think it frankly continues to be a work in progress but t.s.a. knows my view that we should not profile at airports. and we should not make it the case that somebody prefer to go to chicago versus minneapolis, their own airport, and we've had, i think, some productive conversations with the community along these lines, but i t

airport security is pivotal to our nation's security. we appreciate the thousands of men and women who serve at the tsa. they work hard, work -- they're dedicated, committed. they don't know what they're going to see. we have an inordinate amount of guns still trying to be taken through airports. weapons of all kinds. it's a very difficult situation, with literally tens and tens of thousands of security badges that are out there. we need to continue to have a good, vibrant discussion in this country about the safety and security of our airports and how to do that. one of the things i like to say and i've said it many times and i'm sure i'll continue to say it, is we're different in this nation is that we are self-critical. we take a look at our security parameters and challenge the notion that the standard status quo is acceptable. one of the things that stuck out to me in the 9/11 report the commission that came together is that often, government lacks imagination. terrorists who want to do harm and provide mayhem, death and destruction

who owes us security? this state is empowered with a duty to protect us from each other and the extra oil threat. and those who have technology in the market what it is the relationship between the government and five private sector to provide us to see what they could demand from the private sector. also determine its laws and enforcement mechanism security and policies. the more they cross boundaries of the more they are not bound territorially but there is a huge pressure on governments with the cable or stronger government to reach beyond their borders to extend their power you can do that through legislation where about brazilian citizens could progress rich more aggressive means. we predict we will see more unilateral actions but has the check to prevent the world from running to the wild west we need an operation from largely symbolic to think about cooperation to police that allows forces and the much more global level not just how we manage liberty and security have we regulate individuals or inte

right now, high level security. >> yes, i think for critical facilities we have high level security there yes. >> in the memo douglas also rights in reality, csd, the corporate security division, cannot firmly account for what security assets are in place and the company's existing security infrastructure is an assortment of technologies many of them outdated. she adds i would consider them to be in a stale mode. information in the memo helps to explain why they could not answer this key question last year. >> can you tell us where we've been and when? >> i'll let you tell me. i do know a couple of places that you've been and i know that you've been visiting some of our sites at night. >> that's part of our test here. can you tell us where we were and when? >> tony i'll let you give me some ideas. >> they're still speaking out of both sides of their mouth. >> senator jerry hill spearheaded legislation calling for greater requirements and klt accountability and security at pg & e substations. >> we've worked to make sure there's not another metcalf. >> after reading this memo, is she

it is not secure. i don't know, when he talks about internet freedom, if he is talking about everything being insecure people not having privacy. that sounds like privacy being breached in a way. perhaps hypocritical. but i think that when we are talking about data being kept electronically, it is never going to be secure. we have two up and recognize that. emily: we don't know what julian assange has on hillary clinton. but go ahead. tom: there is an assumption made that the u.s. is a monopoly on being big brother. there are multitudes of government agencies from other countries as well as hacker groups and crews that have the capacity to maintain omniscience, to be telepathic as it relates to our personal comings and goings. at a minimum we need to respect the fact that without cyber security legislation, we will never maintain the privacy of nationstates and criminal groups that abound. emily: what does this mean for companies like apple, google facebook, companies whose trust in them was undermined

not only security when. other side should be political, talk about what political it means government programs that the prime minister comments himself this is my government program to be of limited with all other political partners. that includes reconciliation national guard, sunni recruitment and training and armed forces. all these things are really not a new topic. the government put a timetable three-month, six-month, one year. on the other side the other threat is the militia. we talk about the men between iraq and the region all fight isis. now talking about militia, talking about militia working illegally outside the structure of the security force. this will reach the point of security forces, all of them to negotiate, coptic, christian to all these groups will find warlords who are fighting inside iraq between 10. post daesh post-isis. some sectarian that the changes come including two days ago come the attacked one of the jails released some of the criminals belong to the militia and to more than

as i said, we got some major gaps in security. there have been several notable security breaches. i note that on september 14, 2013, a t.s.a. employee was arrested along with five others for participating in a scheme to smuggle undocumented immigrants into the united states. additionally, two airline employees were arrested in december of 2014 for smuggling weapons, guns and ammunition on at least 20 flights from atlanta to new york over an eight-month period. two t.s.a. security screeners at san francisco international airport were also arrested in 2015, march of 2015 for allegedly operating a drug smuggling conspiracy. in addition on march 9, there's a report that was in the press i believe nbc had a story about these 1,400 badges that were -- and these were for security badges for employees to access secure areas, they had gone missing over roughly two years. that was at the heartsfield-jackson atlanta international airport. -- hartsfield-jackson atlanta international airport. in the city of boston, the closing arguments today on the death penalty question for one of the marath

we're also told that a private security guard, one of many who were hired to provide security to this event, was wounded in the exchange of gunfire. what's his condition? >> reporter: he will -- i'm told he's in good condition. he's been released. this was an event that had been publicized for several weeks leading up to this event here this sunday night. so there was a great deal of controversy surrounding it, and obviously a great deal of security precautions that were put into place given the concern that -- the differing viewpoints that you might have shows up here at a scene like this and event like this. so there was a great deal of concern about security measures being taken here in the area. obviously what you saw there was that that law enforcement presence outside the building as this event was going on, and obviously called into action here tonight. john? >> ed, it wasn't just the depictions of the prophet muhammad and just a reminder to our viewers for followers of islam, for muslims, any depiction regardless of what it is, a cartoon, regardless of if it's even seen as bei

security was part of it. now security is not very much a priority for fda because it has been pushed towards tsa. the idea of funding those necessary steps is important. >> for the coordination is out of whack as well with resources. let me just move on asking each of you to respond to this question. do you believe tsa overprescribed technological solutions and fails to think creatively about airport security but. >> yes i do. i think basically we do not pay enough attention to the passenger themselves and the fact that we have started implementing steps in the other direction like pre-checks should be welcome although we should carefully look at what is being done as suggested earlier but i think it's a step in the right direction. i also think the behavior detection as part of it but obviously i have the dispute on that with some of the other. >> ms. roper could you respond? >> i would answer a question by saying the tsa is overemphasizing getting their programs up and running and that under a precise thing

security plans. you do need to understand how you're going to respond to something if you have an event. you need to have a common set of standards across the systems. those standards may differ from mode to mode, but they should be consistent within the mode. they should be based upon what we understand of the threats and they should evolve over time. because the easiest security system to defeat is the one that assumes that you have the answer right. and then there are a lot of partners involved in this as well. what is the connection to your private sector partners, and how are those connections and how are those partnerships maintained over time? i intent to look very hard at this, if confirmed. >> well, i'm asking for a commitment that you'll give us some time lines as to when there will be compliance with the law. that seems like a basic request. can i interpret your remarks as a yes? >> i will look hard at this law and how tsa has addressed its commitments and responsibilities under the law. a

how did that effect it. >> we changed our security posture. and of course i'd be glad to discuss that more in closed session. but we drastically closed our security posture throughout the capitol in terms of methods and staffing. in this instance today we're talking about today as in any instance where an officer has to make a split second decision to use force or not to save their lives or other lives. that's what officers are up against every day. and in this particular instance given all the ramifications we discussed, i think they made the appropriate decision. but that is a challenge officers face every single day whether on a checkpoint, during a traffic stop. when they are stopping people around the campus, etc. >> without going into any classified information tell me this. did this incident -- this incident that we're talking about today has that caused you all to change anything about your policies with regard to shoot downs lethal force? >> we have not changed anything yet. but it has caused us like those other seminal moments you re

they did injure a kbarland security guard. i want to be more specific. a garland security guard.s been transported to a local hospital. we understand that that security guard is in stable condition. non-life threatening injuries. that's good news. and also we are hearing from the spokesman here, clint, that the men were then engaged by the garland police officers that you and i were talking about. and after that engagement, the two suspects were killed. there is a nearby wall mamplt that's been closed. the event center now being evacuated. it sooemd seems like the activities, at least the activities from this chopper cam as now the sun sets in the area is a little bit more quiet. but who knows what may be happening. the people in the events center were being taken out in buses. we can see one of those buses, perhaps, right now. as you look -- i'm not sure if you see the pictures, clint. what's your assess men of what you see on the camera, on the chopper camera that's following what is happening here. >> well, what you've just described now, we have got a multilevel of security.

for your polish the national security council and create a whole new top security structure and it producesbsolute indifference on the part of the media except for a few experts who write commentary that does not give much pickup. the most dramatic is you have a very young minister of defense. that is an uncertainty. but looking back at this over the years, we have done about as well in understanding these shifts as people do in picking the fantasy football team. there are all kinds of theories about what this leader will be, there are all kinds of extrapolations based on what they did in the past. people turn to one expert or another, and anyone who has in in saudi arabia realizes that characterizing the royals is almost an ongoing sport. as long as you only talk to one saudi, you get a very clear explanation. my background is in areas like planning, dealing with the national security, the intelligence, the defense structure, and i have not focused on things like education or many other areas that really matter in the kingdom. but what i have seen is an awful lot of structural consistency.

and in order to comply with the security treaty the u.s. forces are monitoring the seas near japan appropriately. if the u.s. forces are attacked in the line of their duty, unless yapjapan is attacked japan could not do anything. we could not do anything we did not do anything and that was japan's position up to now. is it really fair? in the seas near japan if u.s. forces are attacked we could also be jeopardized, and endangered. this is not somebody else's problem, but our own crisis. if our lives and peaceful living are exposed to clear danger and there's no other appropriate measures to eliminate that danger and the counter measures would be within the minimum necessity. these three conditions are stipulated as strict limits in the bill. and the diet is necessary, needless to say. in a very limited manner we will allow for the use of the right of collective self-defense. but even then japan could involve itself in american war. some might be anxious. but to those who are anxious, i will explicitly mention that, that is absolutely imposs
