perhaps the most notable example of that is tsa. tsa has tsa precheck. a lot of people here are a member of tsa precheck, i'm sure. submit some information on background, you get to the airport, there's a shorter line. less aviation security, less screening when you get there. it enables us to free up resources to divert toward the class of individuals we know less about at the airports. so tsa, under the leadership of john pistol, has actually become kind of popular with the american public. it's the agency of government that the public deals with the most. people are actually saying nice things about tsa. at the same time we've developed and grown tsa pre-check -- there's an amazing fact i like to repeat to audiences. just in the first ten months of calendar year 2014, while we have tsa pre-check, tsa has also seizeds from the carry john luggage of aviation packages, people getting ready to get on the airplane that you fly, 1,855 firearms in carey john luggage, 1,571 of which were loaded. over 3,000 various weapons seized by tsa in the first ten months

there is a bit of good news that i can give you today and that is that tsa lines are moving quickly. no delays there. very easy to get through. officials are crediting that both to programs like tsa's precheck, which allows you to keep on your coat and keep your liquids in your bag and also crediting that to airlines which are willing to change and willing to waive those change fees associated with people moving their tickets. a lot of people were actually able to leave the area last night which is making, as a result, those lines much shorter today. that's the situation here today at laguardia. joy, back to you. >> precheck is a very good thing. sarah dallof in new york. luke russert live in washington, d.c. luke, is anybody, is anybody going to get home to see grandma? >> well, as of right now, the delays here at dca aren't too bad, joy. it's about a half hour to 45 minutes. if you go about 20 miles away from here to dulles international, the delays are more severe and more of the snow drif driflt that was felt here at 11:30 a.m. the snow and sleet and the precipitation will fall a
