Charlie, margaret . Elaine thank you. Senior correspondent john miller is a former fbi assistant director. Good morning. Good morning. So how do malls respond to this active shooter situation . Well malls have come to the realization that this is not a phenomenon that seems to be going away. So theyre starting to focus on this more and more. In the case of westfield mall this is a place that got to this really early. A long time ago they developmented an active Shooter Program for their security very quietly, behind the scenes. But theyre an israeliowned company. Weve had the chairman on this show. And theyre very focused on this. Part of their plan is a lockdown of the security command post so that they can follow the events using the video camera and feed intelligence out. The other part is that security people respond out to the rally point where police will respond with something interesting. A couple of the mall security radios so that they can begin to communicate with people inside who maybe guards who are hiding or trapped with other customers or may have a vantage point. And the third thing is that they respond with a full floor plan of the location. And this has been drilled into every security persons head not to think about it just do it. When you go to other country, you mentioned this is an israeliowned firm that has control of this mall you go through metal detectors in some parts of the world. The israelis why not here . The israelis have a law about that. When i was studying security there, they said youre the country that checks the packages on the way out of the mall. Were the one that checks them on the way in. You know, were worried about shoplifting and theyre wofrried about terrorism. Right. Are we going to see this every day now . You said to me as you sat down youre going down to washington to moderate a discussion amongst very important people. Whats the question e . So the question today is and this is the Critical Group of Virginia State university this is this is command and control in these incidents. If youre a town like paramus pd, they well practice this. Or a small place or a large place. How do you execute the police function there . But i just came from the International Association of chiefs of police in philadelphia where i was a moderator on the active shooter panel. This is something that Law Enforcement is focused on because it keeps happening again and again. Part of it is the tactics, and the other part of the discussion is why is this happening . And why is it happening more . Exactly. Answers we need. We have that other unfortunate to check in on now, john. Thank you very much. Because investigators out in los angeles are focusing on the antigovernment views of the man who was charged with killing that tsa officer. This morning Officials Say they still dont know why the suspect chose his target. Some observers say the officers should have been able to defend themselves. Ben tracys inside terminal three at l. A. X. Where the shooting took place. Ben, good morning. Reporter margaret and charlie, good morning. Good morning to our viewers in the west. The accused gunman paul ciancia, is still in the hospital this morning. His lawyer says hes unconscious and unable to speak after being shot in the face at the airport.

The union that represents tsa officers called for some of those officers to carry guns. Currently, none are armed. Were not suggesting that all 45,000 tsa officers be armed. What were suggesting is there needs to be another layer added, which would be transportation security Law Enforcement officers who would have Law Enforcement duties would have a weapon, would have the ability to arrest people. Reporter but the head of the Airport Police here says even if the tsa agent who was murdered had a gun it would not have mattered. Thats because paul ciancia had his his rifle in his suitcase. He pulled it out at the last minute and fired at that officer at pointblank range. Charlie and margaret . Thanks ben. New thoughts this morning over the troubled obama care website. A cbs news analyst finds ensuring privacy and security information is behind scheduled. It was delayed three times over the summer and final top to bottom tests never got done before the launch. All of that is adding to concerns about the safety of personal information on the site. Jan crawford is in washington. Jan, good morning. Reporter good morning, charlie, margaret. Good morning to those of you in the west. Technology experts tell us the website did not go through enough testing before it went live and they shared with cbs news several flaws that it could expose your personal information. And now were starting to see reallife examples of what can go wrong. With critics openly mocking the Obama Administration about problems with healthcare. Gov, officials insist on one thing at least the website is safe. Consumers can trust that their information is protected by stringent security standards. Reporter but tell that to South Carolina attorney thomas doog l. My information is out there and i want it deleted from their website. Reporter he and his wife signed up on the website in october but over the weekend got a disturbing call. A man in North Carolina who also registered and was shocked to get their eligibility letters, including their names and home address. Its just a system that, you know, weve been continually told was secure and now ive found out its not secured. Reporter a spokeswoman for the department of health and Human Services confirmed an incident involving the personal information of one consumer was reported, and we took immediate steps. We identified a piece of Software Code that needed to be fixed and that fix is now in place. But other fixes are not. Software experts tell cbs news they have identified multiple Security Issues including with user names and pass words. We gave one Technology Expert the real healthcare. Gov user name of a cbs employee. Within second, he identified the specific security question she selected to reset her password. Sean henry is president of the Cybersecurity Firm crowd Strike Services and a former assistant director of the fbis cyber division. If somebodys got the ability to look at the source code and be able to reverse engineer that and identify what somebodys personal questions are, that should be of concern. Now, House Intelligence Committee chairman mike rogers told me yesterday this is one more reason the website should be taken down and tested for security vulnerabilities. Were starting to see democrats make that point, concerns of course, it will likely be raised when secretary sebelius testifies again before congress on wednesday. Charlie and margaret . Jan crawford, thanks. Well, there are National Implications for the two gubernatorial elections taking place today. In virginia former dnc chairman Terry Mcauliffe voted early this morning. He faces a tight race against republican ken cuccinelli. And in new Jersey Republican incumbent Chris Christie strongly favored against Democratic State senator barbara buono. Bill dailey is a former chief of staff to president obama. Good morning. Charlie. So heres governor christie saying on expectation of a win saying if you look if republicans are looking for a place where they can win, look at what happened in new jersey. Is that the message that comes out of new jersey if he wins . If he wins and if he wins with the ability to bring voters into his campaign and republican conservative campaign, that traditional li have not been there over the last couple cycles theyll have a strong argument to be made thats the model to win on the National Campaign campaign. And the opposite may be true in virginia when you have a pretty conservative obviously and tea party more aligned gubernatorial candidate may go down in defeat in a state that has traditionally been very republican now moving if not purple towards blue. Thats a stark contrast. I think if thats the case governor christie has a strong argument to be made. To charlies point, the question is christie in new jersey will bring in black and hispanic voters. This is a republican winning in the blue state. Has he proven himself to be the inevitable candidate . Proven in new jersey but were a long way away from a president ial campaign and he has to go through primaries that are not necessarily reflective of the voters of new jersey and hell have to convince those Republican Voters as others have found very difficult, romney found out, a very difficult process. So hes in a strong position after today if he wins with the sort of victory you say. But its still a very long way away. You see any themes coming out of the political environment today that might be a narrative for 2016 or 2014 . I dont think were there yet. I think theres a lot to happen between now and 16. The 14 elections obviously we have the entire house up and much of the senate. We have other gubernatorial races. That will be much more indicative of people in two states i think. If you were advising Hillary Clinton today, and everybodys talking about inevitability, what would you advise her . Theres really nothing she can do about that argument. I would just suggest she keep doing what he cease doing, keep a relatively low profile, which is impossible in many ways for her, but just not engage in the back and forth speculation about not only speculation in the daytoday sort of political discourse thats going on. The American People dont want it all the time. And i think the biggest challenge for her is to try to tamper this thing down. And if you were the president today, would you be out trying to make your case or would you be keeping a quieter public face . I think the case for health care is very strong. And i think he has to be out there. But the most important thing, obviously, is what he has repeatedly said. That is get the thing fixed and get it running and get a lot of this behind him. To the argument jan crawford has been making in one report after another, there seems to be problems at the heart that go beyond the website. And the president is seeming responsible because hes the one who said you wont have to face the problem of getting plans if you like your own plan. But a lot of this confusion is rooted in the ability in the inability of the website and therefore to move on from the original debate and difficulty. Once that gets fixed, then i think the discussion changes as to the process of it actually working. Good to see you. Thanks, charlie.
