like toothpaste. i have presented this in such a way that somebody giving it a casual inspection will probably pass it. >> reporter: the size of the container alfred used is the size that you have to place in checked baggage at an airport but two smaller containers this size, which you can carry on a plane, can also be used. these tubes would have to be attached or near each other to create an explosion that can be detonated by a heat source. >> this is not a hypothetical development. there has been a reported case that's been well-documented where a toothpaste bomb exploded a plane? >> absolutely, there has, wolf. october 1976. anti-castro cuban operative hid explosives in a tube of colgate that brought down a flight over the caribbean. more than 70 people were killed in that. bombing. it didn't take much. >> i know you have more on the tests that we commissioned. thanks, brian todd reporting. >>> up next, we're getting new information out of the white house right now on the sochi threats. our senior

so it's not near that level of cooperation, no. >> let's say there's a toothpaste -- a container of toothpastend it has explosives in it. what kind of damage could that do to a plane? >> any type of concealed explosive could be extremely damaging, could be enough to bring a plane down. but again, any type of explosive on a plane is of great concern to us. >> so i guess the key question, are the athletes safe right now, the american spectator, the family members, the fans, all of the guests who are going to sochi in the next -- are they safe? >> i would say that they are reasonably safe, but i would not go myself. if i'm an athlete, that's one thing. but just as a spectator, i don't think it's worth the risk. odds are nothing is going to happen, but the odds are higher than any other olympics i believe that something could happen. and the olympic site itself probably is locked down pretty well. there is that ring of steel around the olympics itself. but getting there and the surrounding areas i would say there's real cause for concern. >> i was disturbed the other day the xharm of your committe

do we know if the toothpaste

toothpaste. the opening ceremonies are now literally just hours away, and officials say that the u.s. is now investigating multiple plots against the games. officials tell cnn tonight the threat stream is credible, and the u.s. is now ready to respond to terror strikes at the games. now, in an interview which aired just moments ago on "nbc nightly news," president obama was asked about the level of cooperation between russia and the united states when it comes to trying to keep the games safe. here's the president. >> i think the russians have an enormous stake, obviously, in preventing any kind of terrorist act or violence at these venues, and they have put a lot of resources into it. we're in constant communications with them, both at the law enforcement level, at the military level, at the intelligence levels. >> jim is in washington tonight. jim, you've been working your sources. now we're hearing about multiple credible threats. what are you hearing? >> reporter: well, first, on the multiple

they're probably not using toothpaste tubes to bring explosives here. something they would like to attempt in the air. >> nick paton walsh, thank you so much. that is one theory. o course another theory from a former fbi agent we just spoke with is that the explosives would be smuggled into russia, into sochi to wreak halvoc ther. there is much of the story we don't know. wolf blitzer continues in "the situation room." mr. blitzer, take it away. >>> jake, thanks very much. a possible terror threat involving explosives hidden in tooth tpaste tubes. there are new details coming in. mitt romney is in "the situation room" this hour. after running the salt lake winter olympic game, is he repo worried about the safety of americans in sochi? and does he really mean "no, no, no" when he says he won't run again in 2016? i'll go one-on-one with him live this hour. >>> and is this what it like when hell freezes over? across the countr

i imagine all of them will have toothpaste, diane. >> and, pierre, i want to ask you. give us a sense of what level of certainty they have about this attack. and specifically toothpaste tubes. >> reporter: again, the information they have, has recently come in. it was specific only to toothpaste tubes, as for as we know. again, they're taking it seriously. but they don't have more specifics than that at this point. >> so, at this moment, taking it seriously. i know you will be following up throughout the night. thank you, pierre. >>> we have another note of a different kind from sochi tonight. the face of team usa, snowboarding superstar, shaun white, has pulled out of tomorrow's big event, giving up the chance for a gold medal in the slopestyle because of, quote, the potential risk of injury. there's been criticism of the way the russians constructed the course. and several athletes, including white, have already been hurt in practice runs. >>> now, we move on here to the newest round of wicked weather. 104 million people in a duel with nature. stuck at airports again

toothpaste bombs. the games are two days away and officials say terrorists could try to hide explosives inside of toothpastes or cosmetic tubes. we'll have that sort of not totally a liquid but a soft substance. evan perez is following the story. evan, obviously it's incredibly specific. you've been working your sources. how serious is the threat? >> it's very specific and very serious threat. this is not every day you hear from the homeland security department asking airlines to be on the lookout for possible explosives in toothpaste or makeup containers. obviously for years we've been putting our toiletries in small bags. in russia they've banned it. what has happened today is the homeland security department says this could be an issue so they've asked the airlines to be on the lookout for it, erin. >> to your point, we talked about liquids. i'm thinking people think that you realize that toothpaste, at least in most airports i've been in, you don't have to have it in the liquids bag. that might be

potential toothpaste tube bombs. how much do you know about this? >> i've been briefed on this actually today, but the terror threat has been around for several days. i find it to be very specific and credible. at 2:00 the department of homeland security issued a bulletin to airlines, particularly flights going out of europe into russia warning about this potential threat where explosives can be put in toothpaste containers and cosmetics on board either to detonate on the airline or to possibly smuggle into the olympic village. this is a serious threat. homeland security officials are taking a lot of precautions. in terms of tightening up screening at the airports to ensure that these explosives, if they try to get them on airplanes, they'll be able to stop it. >> i know there's only so much you can talk about. have you been briefed on threats that are as specific as the toothpaste and cosmetics bomb threats? >> there are threats. the emirate caucuses, the more extreme faction of the checken rebels that have trained in syria, for instance, there is

tubes the explosives hidden inside a toothpaste tube can be powerful and potentially deadly. this bomb in a toothpaste container blew off a car goold the homeland security department warning airlines flying into russia that terrorists might try to smuggle explosives on board hidden in toothpaste tubes at the same time russian law allows its intelligence agents to do electronic snooping on anyone inside the country so that means americans phones fair game. actually fox out a whole hacking story originally lauded by n.b.c. as robert angles turned out not to be true about a security expert robert graham says the story is completely fraudulent current attack times graham accuses angles of faking the report and intentionally downloading applications that would ensure his smartphone was hacked almost immediately look i'm not saying that hacking isn't a problem or that there isn't massive surveillance going on in sochi that's to be expected but it's certainly no different than what's being done here in the u.s. so the level of hype around the story even if it were true is just a bit

it smells and tastes like toothpaste. i have presented this in such a way that somebody giving it a casual inspection will probably pass it. >> the question of course is how good are the inspectors. how tight is security at u.s. amounts especially on russian soil. ivan watson is in sochi for us tonight. barbara starr at the pentagon. barbara the tsa issuing this ban today. obviously the u.s. taking this latest threat seriously. >> reporter: absolutely, anderson. good evening, the department of homeland security issuing this ban as they would say out of an abundance of caution. but the reality is now the u.s. and the russians are tracking several threats against the sochi games. and the challenge for intelligence services in both countries is to determine which of these threats are specific, which are credible, who would have the capability to really assemble some of these devices and carry off an attack. and they are far from understanding that at this point. so still a lot of intelligence gathering going on, a lot of foc

homeland security tells airlines beware of toothpaste bombs. it's believed terrorists may attempt to pack them with explosives. we are covering all the angles. let's begin with nick paton walsh. >> reporter: obviously the background chatter now continues to be about security, particularly with this new threat. very specific about flights coming from europe into russia. we found actually to fly from moscow down to sochi with liquids in your carry on, they're trying to prohibit that. >> any type of explosive can be extremely damaging. it could be enough to bring a plane down. >> reporter: airlines with direct flights to russia on alert this morning. the department of homeland security issuing another terror bulletin warning about the possibility that explosive materials could be concealed in toothpaste or cosmetic tubes on flights headed to the olympic games in sochi. the possible devices intended either to be detonated on the flights themselves or smuggled into the olympic village. mitt romney discussed this threat with cnn's wolf blitzer. >> a

>> thanks, nick. >> we know about this toothpaste threat because of intelligence gathering.ight suggest we should emphasize gathering more intelligence internationally rather than on blowing people to bits with unmanned drones. of course, the irony is that while progressives like me don't like drones, republicans actually love them. as well as the general thrust of the president's foreign policy. in fact, their only specific complaint is that president obama isn't a republican. >> i have a long list of complaints. the fact that he isn't a republican isn't one of them. i think at least my position on drones is a little bit more nuanced than that. but let's get our guests to weigh in. >> well, i think drones are an act of war. you need to understand that. so before you use them, you should say would i be willing to send in troops or use artillery? i think they're very effective because they play to our strengths. we're technologically ahead of like with the smafrt bombs we used in the first gulf war and it enables us to accomplish our objectives of killing a lot of these terro

many of them traveling with toothpaste.ncerns, big u.s. companies are voicing concerns about the olympics and about russian policies. anheuser-busch said it is not throwing its usual big budweiser parties in sochi because of security concerns. meantime u.s. olympic committee sponsor at&t is condemning russia's anti-gay law. the company called it harmful to a diverse society. gay rights protests were held in big european cities yesterday. demonstrators called on big sponsors of the game like mcdonald's to denounce that anti-gay legislation. billie jean king was supposed to be part of the delegation at the opening ceremony but king isn't able to make it now because her mother is sick. she may still attend games later, she says. >>> here in new york investigators are getting closer to finding out exactly how actor philip seymour hoffman died and who supplied his heroin. >> responding to calls from a tipster, four people have been arrested. at least one of them with hoffman's cell phone number programmed into his phone. >> mean

there's a toothpaste tube threat. it's going to be so hard to attack something like the opening ceremonies. >> it's fair and sensible for us to say that is the biggest red zone out there, the idea that you could have people walking into and out of the area when they are not in as much of a protected zone. you see what is happening here, jake, the people tightest to the middle of the olympic games may very well be the safest. >> yes. >> and getting there and going home after ward, that may be the biggest challenge. >> that's right. soft targets. >> tom foreman, peter brooks, thanks for joining us. >>> there may be concerns about whether russia has their ducks in a row from a security standpoint but if any group dare try to embarrass the country on the grandest of the international stages, the reaction from the gremlin would be fast and fierce. nick paton walsh is live in sochi with more on that. might the country's reputation for retaliation actually help to thwart a possible attack? >> reporter: jake, some may argue t

they had direct ties to the toothpaste tube intelligence that triggered the warning. russia has been trying to reassure the world that the games are safe. president vladimir putin created what he calls a ring of steel around the olympic venues with 100,000 security officials. the other concern, the so-called soft targets outside the olympic site and intelligence officials say the toothpaste tube threat is just the latest. >> there are a number of specific threats of varying degrees of credibility that we're tracking. >> reporter: now, russia has already banned gels and liquids into russia and out of an abundance of caution here in the u.s. the tsa may also step up security measures at airports around the country. but so far, no threats here on the domestic level. >> okay, michelle, we know the size of a toothpaste dub. do they think someone could pack enough explosives this size to take down a plane? >> he do. they say several of those tubes, you know, filled with the right type of explosives could be enough to do enough damage to a plane or the other thought is that

warning about exclusives that could be placed inside toothpaste tubes, and russia is vowing the gamesl be sief. tim crockett joining us from atlanta. why would officials discuss something specific, like explosives being placed inside a tube of toothpaste and yet not cite a specific threat. >> well, dell, with any threat of this nature, agencies are likely to be dealing with incomplete intelligence. so it's far better to issue a warning more general in nature, especially when there is risk of loss of life than to sit on that information, waiting for the final pieces of the puzzle to fall into place. >> tim there has been a lot of concern leading up to these games, specifically following the two twin bombings. but is it because we are leading up to the games, and there is so much attention being placed on sochi? or are these threats out of the ordinary and different from what we might see in a olympic season like we're going do? >> obviously with these games being situated so close to a hot bed of activity, it is to be expected that these threats will be issued, and more threats are lik
