this allows the tsa to vet passengers through expedited screening and tsa can allocate resources on the ground to focus on travelers we know less about or suspected criminal intent. one million people have voluntarily submitted i graphic information in order to participate. that makes sense to me and seems like an appropriate balance between effectiveness and efficiency. certain populations who have not undergone this vetting on the front end are sometimes permitted to use the pre-check screening lanes. that doesn't make sense to me. it suggests that the balance tips too far toward efficiency at the expense of security. that was the case when a convicted felon and a convicted member of a terrorist organization used a pre-check lane as we learned from the report last week from the office of the inspector general. that breach is on excusable. we can concentrate resources on passengers who are unknown to us and post the highest potential risk, but when a passenger such as this individual, who was known and posed enormous risk is given access to the pre-check lane it demands we take a hard

the tsa pre-check program as i understand it is one of tsa's risk-based initiatives aiming to maintain effective security while also maximizing efficiency. when the aviation and transportation security act became law it authorized tsa to establish requirements to implement trusted passenger programs and use available technologies to expedite the security screening of passengers who participate in such program. this allows the tsa to vet passengers on the front end through the pre-check application process. those passengers can go through expedited screening and tsa can focus on travelers who we know less about or suspect of criminal intent. i understand that more than within million people have voluntarily submitted their biographic information in order to participate in this traveler tram. that makes sense to me. that seems like an appropriate balance between effectiveness and efficiency. but i also understand that certain populations who have not undergone this vetting on the frontened are nonetheless sometimes permitted to use the expedited pre-check screening lanes. that doesn't ma

to accomplish these goals, the tsa did the following. first the granted some government populations ptech eligibility. and third it implemented risk was to allow others to receive ptech eligibility. finally it established the pre-check application for membership. these actions have resulted in an increase in the population eligible to receive the pre-check. this includes a project initiative to determine what processes and procedures they use to bet the applicants properly and second how the tsa assesses the continued eligibility and how they test the processes for timeliness. we conducted fieldwork on this and we determine that as a concept this is a good start. however they need to modify this with the processes and we also determined that the pre-check communications need improvement. the specific findings are classified or contained sensitive information. in addition we responded to a disclosure concerning the use by the tsa secure flight program that may create a gap in aviation security and inspection results are likewise have been

at the same time, you heard how glad that tsa agent is of that lieutenant shooting white. she says she's thankful to be alive and you have to keep in mind, eric, that neither she nor any of the other tsa agents were armed. that could be a debate that we hear play out in the next couple days. we heard this last year when there was a shooting here in los angeles at lax. >> one tsa agent was shot to death. thanks so much. passengers often grumble but thank goodness for carol and all the other tsa agents across the country who are protecting us. thank you. >> reporter: absolutely. >>> president obama jumping into the fray over his attorney general nominee, loretta lynch. he nominated miss lynch back in november and today, the president used his weekly radio address to demand that senate republicans confirm loretta lynch, saying quote, stop playing politics with law enforcement and national security. lynch would replace outgoing attorney general eric holder. meanwhile, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell says lynch will receive a vote after democrats and their filibuster of

airport is now reigniting the debate over whether tsa officers should have guns. this attack happened friday night in new orleans. police say 63-year-old richard white charged at agents at security checkpoint. first he sprayed wasp spray at workers, then pulled out a machete and started swinging. the sheriff's deputy happened to be there and stopped white, shooting him three times, but could the tsa have reacted more quickly if officers were armed? i want to bring in cnn's rene marsh. this really does renew the arguments about what capabilities these tsa officers should have. >> that's right. when you even look at the stats, last year alone, we know tsa seized more than 2,000 guns at checkpoints. this latest incident only highlights what can happen when those weapons are put to use and now after this attack the union representing tsa officers says the officers need guns to close what is a security gap at airports. a tsa officer on a stretcher and the machete-wielding attacker face down and handcuffed. the weapon nearby. this about 40 seconds after 63-year-old rich

explain what the behaviors are that the tsa are watching out for? cora: we obtained a 92-point checklist. it is divided into a section on initial observation, which is used by officers who are looking at passengers approaching the screening area. and then a second category of signs of deception, which is used when they pull someone aside for further screening. and might even used to refer them to law enforcement. the behaviors on this list range from the mind numbingly obvious, things that you think the tsa might have a cartoon villain in mind, whistling when you approach the security screening area -- the wringing of hands appears to be in disguise was my personal favorite. others are so broad they could apply to almost anyone you could imagine, yawning. amy: why yawning? cora: we don't know. exaggerated yawning is a characteristic they decided could be a sign of deception. throat clearing, strong body owndor -- odor. inappropriate dress for the location, face flushed, nervous. these are things that could apply to any one of us at any given time. a

remember back in 2013 a tsa agent was shot and killed at l.a.x. by a gunman carrying a semiautomatic rifle. joining me to talk about it from telluride telluride, colorado former cia operative bob baer. this brings into the light this key question -- should tsa agents be armed? >> well at the very least they should be. you have to look at airports as a soft target for al qaeda or the islamic state. and if they ever decide to bring operations to this country, airports would be right at the top of the list. and they are vulnerable. most airports, as you know, are protected by one deputy sheriff or one armed man, which is not enough. not only should they be armed or have more arms there, there should be some sort of barriers to protect airports. >> say, okay all tsa agents are going to be armed. what would that do bob, in terms of the certification and training that need to get? because you have thousands of tsa agents across the country. >> enormous amount of money. it's a precaution that's probably worth it probably add to the air fares. but you loo

he is going to describe what happened. >> he walked down the tsa like and encountered the tsa officer and challenged at that point in time by the tsa officer. the response was that he pulled a can of wasp spray and sprayed the officer in the face. he proceeded past that checkpoint and encountered the second tsa officer and then the third tsa almost at the same time. one was a female and one a male. he strayed the female in the face. the male grabd a piece of lug gag to defend himself against the machete. they got to the end of the line and they both made the turn around the benches and heading out of the exit. when going through the magnets the tsa alerted to the law enforcement officer that's manned at the exit. the law enforce presidement offe down the line to get close and fired three times and hitting the preerpetrator in the left chest and left eye. >> let's dig deeper and the former director asis tent and tom let's just start because this is not the first attack against a tsa officer at an airport. what is your reaction on what happened in new orleans? >> good morning victor the

obviously, the tsa. so not unlike other incidents like this around the country, there was a desire on the airport officials and my part to get as much information in the hands of the media as possible in a very short period of time. based on some original witness statements there were a few things that were mentioned in the first press conference last night that were actually factually incorrect, and i would like to try and address those first. there was not a member of the traveling public who was actually had a bullet graze wound. that was a mistake. there was a couple of members of the public that had some cuts and bruises, none of which from the perpetrateor, and i think that's how that story took off is they saw folks with a bleeding arm or something like that, and it took on a life of its own. the tsa agent that we put out, everyone thought that she had gotten hit by the machete. the fact of the matter is that while trying to -- she was being chased by the perpetrator with the machete. he was proba

as a frequent flier, i've long believed that tsa should have a trusted traveler program where individuals are identified as low-risk travelers and are provided by expedited airport screening. when tsa was established in 2001, congress granted 's the stay authority to establish a trusted traveler program. however, as many of you may

so i am all for the spot program. >> do you have tsa pre check? >> no but your toddler -- they are going to scream if you leave me in this line any longer. they are like lady, just go flew. just go through. you are not a threat to anything but the santee of everyone around you. just deprive your kids of a little food for a couple days. >> thanks foretelling the tsa how you get through the line. >> if you are there with your two toddlers are you likely not a terrorist. >> andy calls them jihadists. you fly a lot and you work in l.a. and you party in new york. have you ever been given special attention by the tsa? >> i got the pre check thing. it changed my life. i blow past the dumb old ladies. what? you can't bring a live chicken? >> you can't bring more than four ounces of water. no lady, you can't bring a bag of soup. you are at jfk but i have to take it to the village. i don't even take my shoes off. i zip right through. >> tsa pre check is like having a back stage pass to the van halen show in 1984. >> i make meaningful eye contact with the du

how does the tsa address this? how do they make sure that this doesn't become a norm or that it isn't the norm? >> reporter: the tsa is standing firm on the fact this man's name was not on the no-fly list. they say if his name wasn't on the list that must mean that he was not an aviation security threat. the agency said in a statement that all passengers are essentially screened and there are multiple layers when it comes to security. so they're standing firm here that because his name wasn't on the list that is the list that they use to determine who is okay and who is not. >> i imagine many people don't find that particularly comforting. rene marsh, thank you very much. i want to get into this more with congressman benny thompson. a democrat from mississippi and ranking member of the committee on homeland security for the house of representatives. congressman, you just heard this report. you know all about this. how is this possible? i understand that he's not on the no-fly list. he's a convicted murderer. he's a

>> rene what does the tsa have to say about this? >> reporter: the agency is really standing firm on the fact that this person's name did not appear in a terror data base. the argument is that if authorities thought that this individual was a threat that their name would be on a list like the no-fly list. the agency's also pointing out that they have a multi-layer approach but there are some people who say this is just not enough it shows that there is a weakness in their process and the report itself is calling on them to do something about it. >> the government as always being defensive instead of admitting a mistake and trying to learn from it. rene marsh, thank you so much. >>> wolf blitzer now here with a preview from "the situation room." wolf you are focusing today on the latest isis terror attacks. >> what's going on in tunisia, in yemen. remember yemen, that's the home of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula which represents according to u.s. intelligence analysts one of the greatest if not the greatest terror threat to the u.s
