the third point, and this is something getting back to tom, tom's points, as well, is that there's lotsof inefficiency in health care. i promised a map and here's a map of the dartmouth at lass referral regions. miami leads the country in spending. $16,000 per person compared to laces -- places like grand junction which are about $6,500 per person. and so there's a lot of money going on. in fact, if you count up the lifetime differences in medicare expenditures between, say, los angeles and minneapolis or miami and massachusetts, -- minneapolis, you end up with a really nice car. this is used -- i mean, it's on the order of $80,000. . on the left-hand side, you see rates per 1000. in ohio, they like to do a lot of sense. -- stents. in canada, this is the estimated rate. there a2oju potential savings. you would not pick up what comparative effectiveness unless you monitored what doctors did in particular regions. the idea here is that is is that doctors to decide, not some panel in washington or an insurance company. the idea is that these doctor- hospital groups are paid on the basis on

tom? >> reporter: lester, good evening. the tsa is saying tonight that all international passengers traveling into the u.s. may well see enhanced random screenings, which will include pat-downs, explosive testing of luggage, and those enhanced body imaging scans before they board a flight. the tsalso says all passengers from or traveling through seven high-risk countries will receive full-body pat-downs and physical inspections of their luggage. those seven countries are yemen, pakistan, nigeria, syria, sudan, an, and cuba. the state department considers the last four to be state sponsors of terrorism. the new rules take effect at midnight, which should affec most u.s.-bound flights coming from europe and africa tomorrow. this requires the cooperation, of course, of other nations and their airport security personnel. but the tsa has a strong working relationship with most countries that have direct flights to the u.s. as for in-flight protocols, it will continue to be up to the pilot whether passengers are required to remai

overall what has it been like in europe there, tom?well, alex, europe's cold snap has seen snow closing roads and airports across the continent and has icy blizzards from the arctic bring freezing temperatures and misery to millions. in britain, normally mild winters are a memory as schools close and millions stay home from work. local counsels have used up so much gravel on the icy roads that they have been running out of supplies, leaving thousands of secondary roads and sidewalks untreated. turning them into sheets of black ice. eurostar, the train service, which links britain to france under the channel, is running on reduced services. in sweden, temperatures dropped 40 degrees below zero putting a strain on energy supplies. heavy snowfall in the czech republic has prompted the government to ban trucks from its roads. spain reports thick snow in catalonia and heavy rains in italy caused concern over rising water levels. venice is facing exceptionally heavy tides. now meteorologists are predicting the cold weather is set to continue
