And the plan empowers individual americans to buy the Health Insurance that is right for them, not the plan forced on them by government. On thursday evening, he invited group of republicans, many of whom oppose his ban to the white house basement, for bowling, and pizza. I think he is making fools of his own people, quite frankly. You dont agree philosophically in what the legislation is, lets go bowling at the white house, okay . Come on. But the big story of the day at the white house was a very positive jobs report. Nearly a quarter million jobs were create in the february. And the Unemployment Rate dropped to 4. 7 . How much, just year ago, candidate trump blasted the obama administrations numbers.

Officials say a worker was injured when a deicing truck collided with an Iraq Airlines plane. Passengers on board that plane watched it all happen. The wing clipped the guy deicing the plane, and the host got wrapped up in his legs, and pulled him off. The dude in the basket there, you know, he was dangling, dangling, it was un believable.

The tsa has created one standards cards eyes procedure for those opting out of using the body scanners or if they set off a de tech tore. The change comes after a report found major security lapses all around the country. As Nicole Brewer reports, some travelers say the patdowns go too far. Reporter at times air travel can be a hassle. Tsa check point, take off your shoes, your belt, pull all metal items off. It can get back up. Have to have a lot of patience these days. Most passengers agree also the greater good. But not everyone on board with the newly launch more comprehensive tsa screening procedure. Make sure were safe. But also they dont realize what they are doing. It can be inapropriate touching. Tsa will use more rigorous universal pat down procedure instead of allowing employees to choose from variety of screening options. As in the past it will be performed by agent of the same gender and include selves tip areas such as breasts, groin and the buttocks. Got three daughters and a wife and, you know, the thought of one of them being rigorously patted down is not very comfort too long me. Change follows report that criticized parts of the tsa screening process for failing to detect handguns and other weapons. Im sorry, but i would rather be safe. I dont see any harm in it. That is a trade off to the safety, you know, but there are some boundaries as far as, you know, just basic human rights, you know, places that you shouldnt be touched and things of that nature. If you you are select today receive a patdown or opt into the procedure you have a right question to request public or private area for the screening, you may also have a witness present. Nicole brewer, cbs3, Eyewitness News. Turning now to the eyewitness weather forecast, justin, not only is it cold out there today, but also looking forward to another possible snowstorm . Note snowstorm it, happens. March we think about big one, 1993 super storm. That will line up on the same day. No kidding. Same time period. Looks like decent noreaster potential for our region. So we have to watch. Still a lot of things as far as the tracking the time willing, and what exactly we do see for the threat. But will stay cold. Average high 50, 51, wont even see the 50s probably at least a week and a half at this point, maybe longer, have to depends, see how the pattern sets up. Poconos are loving this. Taking advantage of the colds arctic air in place, big boulder cranking out the snow, with this forecast, coming up, no problem staying open until april if they want to. With ideal snow making conditions and the potential for some more natural snow. So here are the headlines, looking on tap on the menu, extended arctic blast, talking highs stuck in the threes, pretty much for the next seven days or so. Like i said, not even close to 50 degrees for awhile. So feels like the middle of winter, january, actually much colder, running good 20 degrees below average, and we have to watch the potential noreaster threat for next week specially monday night into tuesday at this point. So here is the set up. Just like last weekends, if you remember, saturday, we had the jet stream dropping to the south, still a lot of cold air in canada, deep snow pack, able to seep southward, thats a trough, dip in the jet stream stay in place over the jet stream the next few days. Colds air isnt going anywhere. Thats why. Time it out with the noreaster potential, easy chance to see snow for part of the region. Nineteen in cherry hill, 23 in the capitol city of delaware at this hour. Swedesboro coming in at 20 degrees. So cold everywhere. Look at that, teens now showing up 16 degrees, 18 malvern, gets cooler the further north you g mount pocono checking in at 7 degrees, half the battle. We have the winds can be kicking up, windchill values are feeling like the Single Digits in lot of locations, 8 degrees in philadelphia, eight in wilmington, minus 12 mount pocono. Apparently full on Winter Weather gear. By midmorning still running Single Digits, mid teens for the windchill values, by the afternoon, things started leveling offer into the low 20s, so nonetheless just down right cold day, probably want to be inside, and then evening, headed outside once again, windchills dropping into the teens. Tomorrow morning, little better. Because the winds backs off little bit. Still scold. Windchills hanging out mid 20s through the afternoon hours. Heres whats happening. Not much. Cold flow coming in out of the northwest, lake effect snow showers, central bucks and pennsylvania, have sunshine today, few clouds build up for the afternoon, system to the south and west, that passes by to the south. Through the weekends. So no threat of any precipitation today or tomorrow. Here is the set up. Yesterdays storm moving across northern atlantic ocean, High Pressure builds back in for later today into tomorrow. That locks in dry, pushing the storm system to the south. Then we watch the next disturbance come in off the pass i can i can sunday, by moon day afternoon central us, tries to develop a coastal storm. Thats likely on the carolinas, later monday night into tuesday. So tuesday threat, likely we will see some heavy snow for parts of the area where thats still the question. All about the track. Again, this storm hasnt formed yet, right now, so virtual storm. But even mention any numbers as far as snowfall amount, also going to be watching the potential for rainsnow line. Could be sleet rain mixed in, but nonetheless, high winds expected with any time you get coastal storm. Today though windy, cold, partly sunny, 32 degrees, High Temperature tonight very cold again at 20. Extended forecast, like january, nothing but 30s. We have the snow threat on tuesday.
