[everyone talking at once] terms clearly defined! >> tsa is struggling to find what the methods that will come back -- >> do you think this making a safe now? >> think they're doing a pretty good job in a field where nobody -- where perfection is not. >> i get the impression that the tsa screeners, who do the patdowns, are not given very much freedom of discretion. >> by discretion i mean evaluating the person coming through. >> they have -- what else can you do? when you say discretion, there are certain rules that they have to follow. but they should follow. >> pistol, now heads it up and said he is going to

this is humiliating and embarassing. >> the tsa released a statement saying brantly left the security checkpoint before officials were done checking her. they offered to screen her privately, but she refused. >>> a six-ton satellite is hurdling toward earth, but don't worry, it is now expected to crash into the pacific ocean. the satellite has been in orbit for 20 years. we have a view of the tumbling satellite as it heads back to wert. -- earth. they believe the satellite will re-enter the atmosphere sometime friday afternoon give or take 14 hours. the chance it could hit someone are about 1 in 3200. >> it is not great odds, but if you think of something a little more down to earth, the chance of geting in a car wreck today is one in 16. so this is not much to worry about. >> it is expected to break apart in 16 pieces. all of the debris could be scattered in an area about 500 miles long. >> the question is will the skies be clear enough? >> meteorologist sandhya patel has that answer. >> duck and cover. inland areas will be clear, but not near the coast where in the pacific ocean is

we'd spend more than we spend on the whole of the tsa, about $8 billion now. we would spend $9.3 billion to reach 100% coverage. now we have 10% coverage, and one study assumed air marshall presence on 10% of flights found the cost of per life saved is $180 million. that's more than the office of management and budget recommendation of $1 million to $10 million. $180 million is an extreme amount of money to spend on per, you know, per life saved basis. however, hardened cockpit doors that were installed on all airliners are costing effective with an estimated $800,000 per life saved. that's a good expenditure of resources. to note here what's changed, there's two big changes since 9/11 and actually on 9/11 that changed the rational of hijacking. there's the hardened doors that are cost effective and good counter measure to employ. the passengers now now they have to fight back. it's all marbles. we're not going to get flown to a tarmac and negotiate for release of political prisoners. the airlines are a cruise missile, weapons, and they want to crash them into

and just last week, the tsa bought more all with the advanced outline system. but members of a house homeland security subcommittee approved a measure today that would speed that up, requiring all the scanners to be upgraded within 90 days if the full congress approves. >> it's giving a little bit more dignity back to the people who have to go through the scanners without sacrificing any type of security. >> reporter: on another security issue, a big concern for parents, the homeland security secretary said children under 12 will no longer have to take off their shoes for screening and will be patted down less often. >> we hope over the coming weeks and months to begin rolling that out. it does require additional training of all of the thousands of tsa officers, and that's under way. >> reporter: a different travel nightmare for a woman caught up in heightened security over the 9/11 anniversary. passenger and crew jitters led to fighter jets escorting a frontier airlines flight to detroit sunday after two men seated in the same row were seen making frequent lon

this change signals a shift in the way tsa might approach security in the future. a decade after 9/11, the agency has been widely criticized for taking a one size fits all approach to security, treating children and the elderly like high risk suspects. >> we do want to move and are moving to a more risk-based approach to screening passengers. >> reporter: a risk-based approach, screening that focuses on passengers who recently traveled to countries known to support terrorism, could make security lines faster for all of us. and screening less invasive. napolitano also said technology is in the works that could one day allow everyone to keep our shoes on. but she wouldn't say when. at the nation's airports today, passengers said the changes to tsa policy are long overdue. >> last time i heard about an american child with a bomb strapped on them was -- never. i never thought that patting young children was a deterrent or in any way made the country safer or air travel safer. it just took more time and traumatized families. >> reporter: now, secretary napolitano stress

terry crosby went to work for the tsa almost from the beginning.gned up eight years ago because the attacks made him want to serve his country. he rotates through several different jobs during his shift, from running the x-ray machine for carry-on baggage... >> guy left his liquids in there. >> reporter: ....to hand- searching for suspect items... to physically searching passengers. >> okay, i'm going to go inside your collar. >> reporter: it's not his favorite job, but a job he says needs to be done. >> a lot of americans don't feel that they should be patted down, that it's not necessary to be patted down. but when you have things that come in that don't belong, or try to take things on the plane that don't belong, then it is necessary. >> reporter: some americans believe those "enhanced pat- downs," which started within the last year, violate their constitutional rights. they're just one part of a raging debate over how far the tsa should be allowed to go. since 9/11, security procedures have steadily escalated after a series of failed terrorist

good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> i understand that the tsa had a problem with your hair. tell us what happened. >> i don't think tsa had a problem with my hair, i think something else happened. i went through the checkpoint. there was no screening asked of me. 15 minutes later someone was running after me. two people down the escalator talking about, hey, hey, hey, we have to check your hair for bombs. i don't know what happened. tsa gave me my things. i put my shoes on and i headed down and one lady had come up to me just out of nowhere and said did they check your hair? that's what she said. did they check your hair. i said no and i kept going. after that i got in front of the train transit to go up to my gate and then these people came screaming, humiliating sounds and disrespectfully coming after me saying they needed to check my hair. >> tsa have issued a statement. i want to share that statement in part. they said "additional screening may be required for clothing, head wear or hair where prohibited items could be hidden. this passenger left the checkpoint prior to

private companies are actually forced to pay for the tsa. l you, the research on this segment, i did not know that the airlines themselves have to pay the tsa, but they do. >> this is very problematic for two reasons, one is that they are never going to acknowledge when capacity is going down and less people and they are going to credit back these private companies. two, this is the government punishing success. these airlines have figured a way to make money. we may not like it because we're paying more and they are successful, and they are trying to get something else. >>> shouldn't the airlines be the ones that take care of the passengers and property? don't they have more of an interest than the government does? and can't they do it less expensive and less intrusive job of it? >> we have some sort of failure in the replication of the freedom gene in america. if the american people don't understand it. government is rewarded by failure, bigger budgets, everybody moves up in the bureaucracy but failure for a private company is a very costly
