the fact that the cdc in 20 14 made the exact same errors made in the oakland incident shows the cdc did not learn from the incident. i turn now to biosafety and security in cdc select agent laboratories. i submit the 2014 incident is not isolated, but part of the pattern and part tern that could have been recognized a half decade ago and should have been. last week, multiple other incidents, none previously disclosed to the public in which they activated viable select agents to other laboratories. these undisclosed select agent incidents are similar to the 2014 incident, in particular, two previously undisclosed incidents from 2006 involved anthrax and identical. they raise safety and security concerns. i note further hhs and oig audits note the violations in select agent labs, and the cdc select agent labs in 2010 reported major violations including failures to ensure physical security, failure to restrict access, and failures to document inventories and failed required training to workers with training being unverifiable for one in three workers in the most available report. most e

this is one of the things we need to do to improve the culture of safety at cdc. >> one of the disturbing findings of cdc's own report is that scientists use a pathogenic strain of anthrax when they could have used a nonpathogenic strain, isn't that correct? >> yes, it is. >> well, when the moratorium is lab is and being brat reopened, will you make sure that scientists are not unnecessarily using potentially dangerous strains of bacteria when it is not necessary aphis? >> yes. >> gao and aphis both examinations. dr, yousbury and believe this was an appropriate response to this incident, don't you? >> yes, i do. >> yes, i do. >> we should not forget that the way the cdc conducts this is to help keep the american public safe. cdc serves a critical role for studying dangerous pathogens to finding cures and vaccines for deadly diseases. these labs are critical to our nation's response to bioterrorism threats, so i am interested in learning about how this moratorium and the lab closures are affecting critical research that these labs were conducting. den, how did the moratorium and lab closur

>> the cdc and usda have responsibility in the approximately 1000 other u.s. select agent labs. government academic, and corporate. there's no basis for confidence that bio security standards are higher or more stringent at cdc-regulated non-cdc labs. there is no basis for confidence that bio security standards are higher or select agent inspections are more stringent than at cdc agent laboratories. deficiencies in standards at these other laboratories are amply documented in the oig audit. one final point. i know that the cdc and usda funds the work but also regulates biosafety and bio security for select agent work. this represents a clear conflict of interest. the systematic clear conflict of interest may at least partially account for the deficiencies mentioned. >> i think the two witnesses and i recognize myself for five minutes. mr. kaufman, you specialize in behavior and behavioral change along those lines. we have heard from you that the culture of complacency is a concern. we have investigated problems with the veterans administration but we saw that there were cash ince

this smallpox virus is going to be verified by the cdc and then destroyed. as brian just said, the incident has nothing to do with the anthrax breach that caused everyone so much concern just a couple of weeks ago. but it is a reminder that we still have very dangerous things. but this really was a discovery while cleaning up an old laboratory and has nothing to do with what we talked about before. >> luckily, no one was in danger. nancy, thank you. >> you bet, brian. >>> overseas tonight, airports with direct flights to the united states have started ramping up their security procedures. we reported on this on the way last night, after the warning from u.s. intelligence, that terrorists might target a passenger aircraft with explosives hidden in personal electronic devices. this has led anticipatively to some confusion and frustration at some major airports. we get our report tonight from nbc's tom costello. >> reporter: government security sources say the new tighter screening procedures should now be in place at overseas airports with direct flights to the
