tsa is operating at a heightened level of security as a result of world events and the current threat environment. tsa operates at a high level of security and constant state of vigilance and the agency has a risk based intelligence approach, multiple layers of security, seen and unseen. tsa and dhs are in close and ongoing touch with all of our partners and will continue to monitor the situation, and may adjust security postures as or when necessary. that statement, it seems to me, tom winter, is an indication of the knowledge in this world that through social media, through all the means of communication, people see there's explosion on a bridge between the u.s. and canada. there's been no definitive motive, and no definitive cause for it. and anybody who's traveling might get nervous, right, so it's not surprising that the tsa would put out that statement or affirm they are at a high state of alert, given what's going on in the world and the fact this they have a high number of travelers this weekend. i think we've lost tom. let me bring in darvell harvin on the faculty at georgeto

tsa wants to remind people to arrive early for their flights. they say to get to the airport 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before an international one. >> at sfo, amanda hari kron. 4 news. a luggage carousel jam. >> well, we have some good news for people driving around the bay. gas prices are continuing to drop. the current state average is 4.90, for a gallon of regular, which is almost a 10% decrease from last weekend. a little more than $0.40 less than last month. as for the bay, the cheapest gas you'll find is in santa clara county for 79 for a gallon of regular. most expensive is in sonoma county. 5, oh, wait. there, san francisco, not much better. 505. it's getting more expensive to keep your home warm. there are a few things you can do to try to help keep these prices low. you want to have your heating units inspected before the worst of winter comes to the department of energy recommends locking your thermostat somewhere between 68 and 70 degrees lower. if you can take it, they say turn the heat down when you're gone or asl

i want to read you the statement from the tsa. it says the tsa are in close and ongoing touch with all partners and continue to monitor the situation and may adjust security postures as or when necessary. so, we are only seeing this now develop just in this moment. the tsa is essentially telling us we may see more things develop at airports nationwide. right now at reagan national airport things seem roughly normal. we've been through ebs and flows all day of huge traffic volume. now we're about to be on the precipice of the afternoon rush. around 3:00 p.m. is when things start getting going again and we'll see the impact here as it unfolds as to many people are trying to get where they're going on this big day before thanksgiving, the biggest day for holiday travel. >> pete, thank you so much for that update. we want to go back to josh campbell. josh, just given your general impression of what you're seeing, you mentioned previously that this doesn't necessarily fit the profile of what traditional terror attacks have looked like.

they are trying to travel a little earlier, so it's interesting about the tsa numbers is they say it's2-day travel period, which means that would start this coming friday. i want you to listen to aaa spokesperson who says that really the demand is lengthening and the peaks are getting a little less as more and more people take advantage of hybrid work schedules and being able to work from home. >> the reality is many people are leaving on tuesday, on monday and coming back the monday after thanksgiving because they know that sunday is going to be such a mess on the roads and at the airports. so if people are being more plexable. >> it is a condensed holiday. people are going to fly, but more people are going to drive. 49 million people, that's the anticipated number from aaa. and a lot of those people are driving at the worst possible time. you have to look at the breakdown. really it's kind of like rush hour times two. that's almost literally. so if you can avoid essentially 3:00 to 6:00 p.m., pretty much every day leading up to thanksgiving and in the few days after, you might have a

we had 2.5 million people or close to it passing through the tsa check point.s up from 180,000. or 180,000 more than last year. take a look at it. we got 1400 flights in the air. 352 delays. 40 cancellations the worst delays right now in atlanta, new york and los angeles. we have that coastal storm that is moving offshore. that's part of the problem along the east coast. temperatures ahead of the front warmer than average except new england and canada where we have snow flying and that's going to disrupt things. even though this storm is going to move offshore, it's the winds behind it that will cause delays and the cancellation. even though the radar looks good. the winds will definitely cause issues in the air. here is the snow still to come for parts of new england. certainly maine will get the bulls eye of over a foot. that front moves offshore. that's the same storm system that brought the severe weather including tornadoes this week. a new storm system moves into the northwest. otherwise, a pretty good-looking forecast as we get into thanksgiving. we do h

tsa says jonathan dunn has since been removed from that program.ched after 9/11 as an additional layer of security on domestic flights. >> it's serves as a last line of defense in case everything else goes bad. >> john pistole is a former tsa administrator. >> i think it's worth having, to know that even if they can get the cockpit door open, that might be the last or the ever open. >> reporter: the volunteer violets are that end, they also complete training program overseen by federal air marshals and are recertified twice a year. >> we need to tickle hard look at the oversight program related to the people who command airplanes. report make this newly revealed his follows another cockpit confrontation last month when an off-duty alaska airlines captain allegedly attempted to turn off a plane's engines midflight. >> i think if you look at the big picture, our safety system is very good in this country. >> reporter: dunn said to be arrayed in federal court on that felony charge later this month. the faa requires pilots to have a valid medical certi

i spoke to the tsa administrator. he said the interesting thing happening now is this rush is getting longer and people are leaving earlier. >> normally, for us we count about ten days for the thanksgiving travel period. this year we paid it 12 for that reason. people are stretching out their leisure travel. so they will leave earlier and stay a little bit longer. this year 12 days. we expect about 30 million passengers to be screened in that 12-day period. >> reporter: transportation secretary pete buttigieg says weather is the big "x" factor here, the top cause of flight cancellations. we have only seen about 18 cancellations nationwide so far today and we heard from american airlines, 23,000 flights is the number of flights it operated between thursday and sunday. given that entire period and that huge number of flights, the airline canceled only two flights over that time. so things are going pretty well so far. >> two out of 23,000, doesn't sound so bad. could be a ground top at reagan today. what are you seeing
