To speak this hour. Live coverage. Stand by for that. Lets get to the breaking news. The first objects now being recovered in the med train yite sea. Those are body parts and luggage that disappeared on flight from paris to cairo. That according to egyptair and greek officials. It was locate around 180 miles north of the egyptian coast but the fuselage have not been located. Search crews from a number of nations including the United States, france, and greece all combing the mediterranean area right now. Egypt now established a new Investigative Committee to look into the tragedy. Its being run by the same person who headed the investigation into last years downing of russian plane in egypt. That was in sinai. Killed 224 people. Widely believed to be the work of terrorists using a very small bomb. Here in the United States, officials are keeping a very close eye on the latest developments. We still dont know what happened there. Were following the investigation closely. Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the people who were lost. But most importantly, its a stark reminder that what we do is really important. We need to do it well and efficiently. Right now, the reason for the planes demise is unknown. Although the prevailing theory for both the u. S. And egypt is that it was terror. U. S. Officials, however, stress that as of now, theres no, quote, smoking gun. There have also been no claims of responsibility by any terror groups. At least not yet. The air base on the greek island is used as a staging ground for search and recovery operations. Cnn International Diplomatic editor is there with details on the search and how the weather is affecting the operation. Reporter wolf, this is one of the greek air forces seen with an aircraft and this is being prepared to go out on a search and recovery mission. They have one of these out over the search area. We understand as well that they have a Surveillance Aircraft also over flying in the area where the search is going on right now. Also, today, three u. S. P3 Surveillance Aircraft increasing the u. S. Effort to try and find the debris out there on the Mediterranean Sea. Now that some of that debris has been found, those body parts, the seats from the aircraft, parts of passengers or luggage, thats floating up as well and can focus this effort. Theres a British Naval vessel out on the water as well as egyptian vessels and also, that information from the European Space agency and the oil slick on the surface of the water been seen close to where this debris has been spotted and found. That oil slick typical from an aircraft entering the sea. Could be hydraulic fluid or aviation. Its not clear yet but if spotted by satellite, if its associated with egypt, 804 but thats something again held into focus hoping to pinpoint the recovery effort. As friday as gone on, the visibility diminished, wind picked up and rain moving in. The swell has been high and all, of course, going to make the visibility and the recovery effort a little bit slower. But the pinpointing, the area now just southeast of where the aircraft disappeared off the radar, all of that very, very important right now, wolf. Nic robertson, reporting for us. Thank you. Relatives of the crew of the egyptair flight 804 expressing frustration into the crash. 66 people were on board the plane. The copilot feels that egypt is being undually scrutinized. Its our airports. Its our flight. Its our everything. But its not where the aircraft came from. Just landed from some other country and then the passengers and flight. I mean, to us, normally takes weeks. And when it comes to an egyptian aircraft, its ours. And then pointing fingers, its our airports, its our pilots, its our entrance and then what . Our Senior International correspondent arwa damon in Cairo International airport. Arwa, what more can you tell us about this egyptian Investigative Committee thats been formed . Reporter well, its main focus is going to be trying to find the answers to those questions that everyone has been asking. How and why did this plane come down and what can be done to prevent this in the future . The problem is its very difficult to begin that process before main parts of the plane have been recovered. Now, the man who was heading up the Investigative Committee is the same person who headed up the metro jet investigation. Remember when isis claimed responsibility for bringing down that russian budget airliner over the sinai and in that case, it was and ended up being explosives that caused the detonation that then brought down the aircraft and that led to a series of investigations into security procedures at the airport and then led to the country having a greater height and sense of awareness and beefed up security when it comes to its own measures within egypt but this investigation, wolf, is going to need to span across countries and across continents, given how many nations at this stage are already involved. Well stand in close touch with you. I want to discuss the latest findings with my guest, our aviation analyst. Peter as well as senior contributor david galla. Theyre finding body parts, pieces of the wreckage, other stuff. What kind of clues can they get from what theyre finding right now . Thats a very difficult process and the early stuff that theyre going to pick up, the human remains thats floating is going to be the lighter things. And it may but most likely will not lend itself to analysis of whether it was a bomb or not. Freorensically, can they determine it . They can if the bomb was located in the luggage and if youre lucky enough to get what was adjacent to that. Most likely, thats not the case. Because when a bomb explodes on a plane, the first material off the plane is always the most important and that tends to be further up the flight track so if youre in a large debris field, youre probably not going to see the first material off the plane. But youll be able to see. You might be able to see whether there was fragmentation or pieces of shrapnel in the suitcases or in the human remains, there may be some indication. There could be important clues. Take us through some of the challenges of finding the wreckage in the water, especially in this area in the mediterranean whether its about 10,000 peopfeet above the surfa . Its a serious endeavor, wolf. If its in the deepest part, were talking about mounting a full blown deep water expedit n expedition. You have to have very sophisticated tools like robots, sophisticated sensors, sonar and then a ship and a team who knows how to work the water depths. Were talking about putting together a fairlylaborate expedition . If this is a crash, peter, a crash investigation right now, which it is, but if some terror group, isis, lets say, declares responsibility for this, how does that change the investigation . It will change it pretty dramatically. If its an accident investigation, it will most likely be conducted under the guidance of what they call annex 13, which is a treaty that many of 200 plus countries have signed that guides how accident investigations are conducted. If it is an act of terror, then that treaty really doesnt apply and the country conducting the investigation is really free to conduct it any way that it sees fit in its national interest. And the french and the british are contributing right now significantly. Theyre probably continuing to contribute. So if it becomes a terrorism investigation, the issue of transparency ceases to be at the top of the agenda. How does that affect you, your colleagues, david, the size of the debris field is enormous, obviously, if it becomes formally a terror investigation, what is the direct impact on the search operation if you were involved . Well, it just means that every single bit of that aircraft and every bit of human remains can be found as part of the puzzle, part of the mystery. So it just adds more intensity to the survey. You dont want to miss or leave anything behind. Peter, for the all practical purposes, theyre working on the assumption of the terror mission. Thats the discussion so far. More than has been declared but thats the assumption a lot of these governments now have. Thats right. Everyone stand by. Thousands of people with access to airplanes, airport maintenance crews, janitors, food services. What kind of security do they have to go through . The United States initial theory that a bomb brought down egyptair 804 is raising new questions about Airport Security specifically from the former cia director James Woolsey in an interview with cnn, he believes the crash was, quote, an inside job and he questioned the tsas ability to stop something similar from happening here in the United States. The whole focus seems to have been from avoiding terrorist attacks on tsa and lets add more tsa people standing around as we walk through the magnetic detecte detecters. That strikes me as perhaps not front and center as the things one needs to do. The hard thing in many aspects of Law Enforcement and intelligence is that you have to get into peoples backgrounds and understand why they might be the radical ones and the process for doing that, people dont like, sometimes, its done wrong and it would affect, you know, peoples privacy. Cnns rosa flores asked the tsa administrator about woolseys comments. Anytime you have a trusted population, you want to verify that. The way we do it is running them continuously against terrorist screening and looking for affiliations with people who are in those databases or in databases associated with that and then looking at their criminal history background check and we do that ourselves regularly with the intelligence community. Lets discuss all of this with representative john who is a congressman from upstate new york joining us from syracuse. Youre a member of the House Homeland Security committee. Is the tsa right now effective or is it failing in its efforts . I wouldnt say its failing but theres room for improvement. Both domestically but also internationally. Lets not forget, we spent billions of dollars every year domestically trying to keep our skies safe but if we dont do a good enough job for airports and flights coming directly to the u. S. , we may leave a back door open with vulnerabilities and im quite concerned about that. Youre worried about James Woolsey, the former cia director as well. The head of the tsa said its down nearly 6,000 employees right now when you look at what happened to brussels airport, the bombing there and the belief that the egyptair flight was probably a terrorist attack. Why are u. S. Airports short thousands of security employees right now . Well, one of the reasons theyre short right now is they have that they would have much larger number precheck. The precheck system is basically a way of verifying up front and doing recurring vetting of travelers up front and then get expedited screening and usually twice as fast as people without the Precheck Program. That program has just not developed the way it should have and thats a big concern. You mean, not enough people have applied to go through the tsa Precheck Program . Is that what youre saying . I am saying that, yes. And i passed a bill out of the house earlier this year that allows some mandated tsa to do reforms in the program and formed with private industry to expand a program. Once you expand the program, youll be able to process a lot more people in an airport at any given time and its quite frankly flown to the senate except for one senator has a got on it and once they lose a hold, they can get that signed into law and start the process in the right direction. Would you feel better if the tsa, if all those employees checking people during the security checkpoints were private contractors or Government Employees . Well, we had a hearing on that earlier this year. The transportation security subcommittee called sbp program. A private partnership program. Some airports have the private screeners, some do not. Most do not still. But we havent seen a discernible difference in terms of level of contraband. The only correction is whether we could be more from an administrative standpoint and were looking at aspects there. We found last week by talking to stake holders that gives us indication that theres serious administrative problems and im working on a bill to introduce next week to address that. How confident are you, congressman, that airport employees who have access to planes where the janitors or others get the proper screening in advance . Im absolutely confident they do not get the proper screening. Ill tell you why. We looked at this last year when i first got into congress, a fella got off a flight and had a backpack full of guns loaded in his backpack. Most of which were loaded. Turns out he was selling them on the streets in new york. This was his tenth trip up making similar in his backpack and had an employee from the Atlanta Airport who just walked through security unobstructed and searched and handed him the bag and walked down the plane with guns. Im confident theres not enough scrutiny going on and not trying to say ive got the magic elixir to everything but weve passed a far reaching Access Control bill that flew out of the house as well and in the senate as well. That would really be up to scrutiny for employees nationwide. We must do that. Congressman, thank you very much for joining us. Thank you very much. Anytime. John from new york.

France is moving quickly to enhance security in the wake of the crash of egyptair flight 804. 66 people were on board. The flight originated at Charles De Gaulle airport in paris. The French Interior ministry now said its a necessity to reinforce security at the airport. Joining us now from bahrain is natalie gulay. Thank you so much for joining us. Have you been presented any evidence that this was indeed a terror attack . No, absolutely not. We have no evidence yet. Absolutely not. What is your working assumption . First, we have to be cautioned but then regarding the security of the french airport, i would like to underline that first of all, we are under heavy state of emergency since november and i think that we increase the level of security in the airport. That is a very strong assessment. As you know, there were reports that last year, maybe 40 or 50 or 60 airport employees were removed from their security clearances because they supposedly had gjihadi connections and access to planes. Tell us about that. For paris airport, you have almost 80,000 people and the french system regarding the privacy and so on across the databases, but at the end of the day and especially after november, the Police Discover that 80 people were suspected to have linked with terrorism and then their clearance have been redrawn as a matter of fact after this double check of ability and past and regarding the databases, but previously, we have to admit that we didnt have this kind of control, unfortunately. Do you believe that the security situation at Charles De Gaulle airport right now is very, very strong or could it be better . It always could be better. I was listening to the previous man who was talking with you and said we always can improve more regarding security but at the same time, nobody wants to slow down the traffic. So we have to increase the control but at the same time, the traffic is increasing too. So it will be very challenging. We saw that also in brussels and this time, we really dont know what happened. So we have to be really cautious about any kind of conclusion but at the same time, that could be a good approach to increase the control and especially the databases of th
