point. the felon was spotted by an agent but then a supervisor cleared the security check despite the man s history. a homeland security inspector said it highlights the need for the agency to modify its procedures. let s talk about these. let s bring in former assistant director of the fbi tom fuentes. tom, good morning. i want to start with the tsa pre-check story christi gave us. this man had a murder conviction connected to a domestic terror organization. how could someone like that get through the security pre-check process? i think victor, the mistake is he shouldn t be on the pre-check list. if they had him selected randomly to be able to go through pre-check i think they are going to have to take a hard look at that program. most of us, and i have the pre-check approval, comes from you know, the application process, the background process, the number of miles you fly with a particular carrier, so i don t understand how he was even able
borne out he will be free to go. there will be a trial, he will get due process. after a trial in the event a jury buys that it was self defense he will walk out the door. to the extent it is a victim who is dead you have to look out for that. you mentioned self defense. this is something that stood out to victor and i looked at each other like what? when we were listening to this. suge knight claims he is blind in his left eye and 15% vision in the other and that contributed to this. he didn t realize he was running over somebody. joey, if the you ve got if you re blind in one eye and 15% vision in another how are you legally driving? that s a very good point and one that the jury i m sure at the time of trial will be asking. ultimately, even if that is the case, and you know again, he ll have his defense in court and potentially he could say that he was under attack, he was invited there, that is at the location
international and this case of the man with the machete and the wasp spray. i wonder do you think there will ever be any absolute security, i kind of know the answer but giving you space to run here, in places like the airport, or a mall, or a grols grocery store. maybe just mental illness. we re waiting. but can that be guaranteed? no. and you re right, you know the answer to it already, victor. there s no way. and you know, grocery store or other targets, softer targets than an airport. here at least you have the magnetometer lines, the checkpoint operated by tsa to prevent a person from getting onto a plane with a weapon, whether it s a gun or machete or a can of wasp spray in this case. so you know, wherever you set up a checkpoint is going to be the first place that you re going to have a problem with somebody

cells inside. let s bring in lieutenant reid and retired delta force commander and operator joins us live from baghdad. i want to start with the narrative that we were talking about a couple of weeks ago. in iraq we were talking about the weaknesses and what s the significance of having these back to back with isis claiming responsibility? good morning victor. we re starting to see here especially is isis how they call it here are getting backed pretty hard and bad. the iraq security forces are doing a very good job of destroying the isis here. i believe that we re going start to see dice or isis starting to realize that they re not going be able to go toe to toe with the military and going to have
