And made in america is back tonight. Something home grown, now making a lot of money. Good evening and we begin tonight with the investigation into that russian jet that fell from the sky, breaking apart, killing everyone on board. And, tonight, Counter Intelligence officials focused in large part on terror intercepts. Conversations between members of isis. Those conversations came after the mid air catastrophe, and authorities said they could be heard talking about a bomb. President obama weighed in saying he believes there is in fact a possibility that this was a bomb. And another breaking headline as we come on air, u. S. Authorities taking action in the next 24 hours at airports across the country just as millions prepare to travel for thanksgiving. We begin with abcs chief investigative correspondent ryan ross. Reporter u. S. And british officials tell abc news, the strongest evidence it was a bomb comes from isis itself, from electronic intercepts of terrorists talking specifically about a bomb. Tonight president obama weighed in for the first time. I think there is a possibility that there was a bomb on board and, were taking that very seriously. Reporter yet, there is still no hard evidence of just what happened to the russian jet and u. S. Intelligence officials told select members of congress at a classified briefing that the bomb theory is still far from certain. Well, i think its going to take a forensic examination of the wreckage of the plane. Examination of the bodies, and a full investigation at Sharm El Sheikh airport. And the focus tonight for u. S. And British Intelligence is on security or the lack of it, at the airport in Sharm El Sheikh and fears if it was indeed a bomb, isis had an insider here with access to a luggage hold. If isis has been able to do that at that airport, how many other airports have they been able to get into, infiltrate, or, are they working on right now . Reporter tonight thousands stranded as british and german flights were canceled. The head of Airport Security here was reportedly removed or promoted. Alex marquardt is at the airport tonight. Reporter security here clearly making a show of being extremely thorough, padding down little kid, telling everyone to take off their shoe, far stricter than normally. Our thanks to alex marquardt. Brian ross with us now. Back to the intercepts, because youve reported that they could hear conversations about a bomb. But these came after that plane came apart . Thats right. They are trying to assess if they are boasting or gloating or knew what they were talking about and future attacks. Brian ross, leading us off tonight. Brian, thank you. And abcs bob woodruff the only american journalist to sit down with defense secretary, ash carter, who also acknowledged it bite be a bomb, and bob asking, could it be isis . Do you think theres a possibility isis could have been involved in this . Well, theres always a possibility in this case. And in fact, isis is now metastasized around the world, both by having branches in very just places as it has with cyanide. But i dont have any information to share with you on that. It gives us an independent view. Bob woodruff with the defense secretary. This, as millions of americans get ready to travel for thanksgiving. Britain concerned because they take direct flights from that region. Even here, theres word the u. S. Is beefing up security in the next 24 hours. Enhanced security for planes coming to america from other parts of the world. Abcs david kerley covers aviation. Reporter tonight with airlines estimating more than 25 million americans will fly over thanksgiving. And they expect to send that directive to increased security requirements for handling package inside the u. S. The Obama Administration is reviewing a number of different steps that we can take to enhance security for commercial flights bound for the United States from certain foreign airports. Reporter with airlines estimating more than 25 million americans will fly over the thanksgiving holiday, will they see changes in security after the egypt crash . Security here is often very different than overseas. In the u. S. , carryon bags are screened. And in atlanta we watched checked bags heading to a special tsa underground screening room. Each bag run through an explosive detection scanner. Each day, more than a million checked bags in the u. S. Are checked. But you cant stop everything, can you . You cannot stop everything. Thats why we need a system of Aviation Security that is dynamic. Reporter gaps in tsa security were exposed this summer with inspectors hiding materials on their body were missed 95 percent of the time. The author of the report says progress has been made since then. The other concern the insider remember this case in atlanta. An airport worker using his i. D. To get around security and allegedly help smuggle guns. Atlanta now says the vast majority of workers are screened there is no national standard, although the tsa recently took action to improve security. David . David kerley with us, thank you, david.

Abcs alex perez is outside of chicago.

Joe was my best friend, my world, my hero. Reporter the Community Embracing the officers family amid the massive manhunt for his supposed killers. For two months, his widow melodie dismissed speculation it was suicide. There were things that were happening in our life that people who are going to commit suicide would never do. Reporter his son, d. J. , pointing to the dangers of the job. Hes told me many times. Hed sit down in his car and be like i hope i go home. Reporter but yesterday, that revelation, joe glinoweitz had staged his own death, shooting himself twice in the chest, over and under his bulletproof vest. Glinowitz committed the ultimate betrayal. Reporter police say he thought the new city administrator, ann marrin, was about to expose him as a thief stealing thousands from that Youth Program he ran with his wife. In a text message to an unidentified person, glinowitz wrote she hates me. And she has now demanded a complete inventory of the explorer program. Today, investigators tell me he even looked into hiring a hitman to kill marrin. That he wanted to speak to this highranking motorcycle gang member to initiate a hit op the village manager. Reporter the hero police officer, once honored with signs around town, now a villain. And, david, an investigator on the case tells me he can neither confirm nor deny whether the lieutenants family is part of the criminal investigation. So far, through their attorney, the family said theyre cooperating with authorities. David . Alex perez on the case tonight. Thank you, alex. We have new developments for the race of 2016 the two men leading the republican field, dr. Ben carson and donald trump, now under secret service protection.

Reporter but now trump isnt just selling himself onstage. Hes also out with his First Campaign ad. If the people of iowa vote for me, youll never be disappointed. I dont disappoint people. I produce. Reporter and hes attacking the man who is rising in the polls, marco rubio. Marco rubio has a disaster on his finances. He has a very bad record of finances. All you have to do is look at his credit card. Reporter hes talking about rubios use of a state Republican Party American Express card while he was speaker of the house in florida. It was meant for Republican Party business expenses but rubio acknowledged using the card to pay for things like home repairs and a family reunion. Rubio admits this was a mistake but he tells us he always paid for personal charges out of his own pocket. Every month the bill came to my house and i would review it and if it was something personal i paid for it and if it was something that was political the party paid for it. Reporter and on the trail rubio gave it right back to trump. I find it ironic that the only person running for president thats ever declared a bankruptcy four times in the last 25 years is attacking anyone on finances. And jon karl from New Hampshire getting the oneonone with rubio on his finances. Did rubio tell you himself when he plans to release those charge card statements . He did.

Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. I accept i dont have to set records. But im still going for my personal best. And for eliquis. Reduced risk of stroke plus less major bleeding. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. At t and directv are now one. So get ready to laugh here and cry here.
