If i were going to run against him, would i win . Yeah. And found, a little boy who vanished 13 years ago in alabama discovered in ohio kidnapped by his father and living under a fake name. How the boy helped find himself. His moms reaction when she found out he was alive and well. We do say good morning, america, on this friday morning. What an incredible story. Can you imagine searching for your child for 13 years . Unbelievable. The family is overjoyed right now and i can only imagine as youre talking about what that that. Well get to that. Right now right to the stepped up security at the worlds airports. Look at three of the busiest airports in this country, hartsfieldjackson, atlanta, l. A. X. And washington dulles, a crackdown on security involving luggage handling expected there and at the hundreds of overseas airports that fly directly to the u. S. As investigators try to figure out what took down that plane in egypt. Abcs brian ross starts us off. Good morning, brian. Reporter good morning, george. According to the chairman of the House Homeland Security committee, the u. S. As soon as this weekend is expected to order sweeping security changes for all flights coming nonstop to the u. S. From some 275 foreign airports, focused on luggage handling and airport personnel a direct result of the consensus a bomb brought down that jet after being smuggled past lax security at the egyptian airport where it took off. The sharpened focus today on overseas security comes after intelligence say they discovered an astounding lack of security sheikh. And fears that if it was a bomb that isis had an insider there with access to the luggage hold and may have infiltrated other airports, as well, which unlike Sharm El Sheikh have direct flights to the u. S. The last chance, if you will, to catch Something Like a bomb on an airplane. Reporter u. S. And british officials tell abc news the strongest evidence so far that a bomb blew this plane out of the sky comes from isis itself from electronic intercepts of terrorists talking specifically president obama has now weighed in for the first time. I think there is a possibility there was a bomb on board and were taking that very seriously. Reporter yet almost a week after the crash no hard evidence of what happened to the jet precisely and u. S. Intelligence officials told secretary members of congress at a classified briefing thursday the bomb theory is still far from certain. Well, i think its going to take forensic examination of the wreckage of the plane, full investigation at Sharm El Sheikh airport. Reporter theyve been told there will be flights to take them home but not with their luggage. That will come later on a separate flight, robin. All right, brian, thank you. As you know, all of this is raising questions about the possible threat to American Airline passengers. And joining us now from washington is john pistole, former head of the tsa and now president of anderson university. You used to run the tsa, john. What are your biggest concerns right now . Well, good morning, robin. Yes, my concerns are, one, that if this is a terrorist incident that its not isolated, its not a singular incident that there may be other people similar situated who are wanting to do something and are poised to do that. The second concern is that if there is a new technique that has been used, a new type of explosive device then that also creates additional concerns. A lot of people are talking about checked bags, both here and overseas, so what should the concerns be there, john . I think its not only checked bags, but if that is the situation, then additional scrutiny would need to be applied through explosive detect machines and the human inspection of those bags, but it applies both to that those items which would be carried on flight like we had with abdullah mutallab. You talked about something a while ago about these un undetectable bombs and, again, we dont know exactly what the scenario is with the flight that just recently went down but you raised a red flag about that and there seems to be growing concern about that now. I think youre referring to the nonmetallic improvised explosive device which is the underwear bomb or some of those through traditional metal detectors and walk through them and other things. But in this instance, it may have been that, but its more likely it is sounding that it was something that was smuggled on board that flight which may have been done by an unwitting airport worker thinking that they were being paid a bribe to smuggle money or contraband or drugs on a flight but smuggled explosives on. Thats the concern there. So much work to be done. John, thanks for joining us. Many more question as head. That storm slamming the south overnight, tornadoes reported in oklahoma and texas where downpours and powerful winds left a trail of destruction. Ryan owens reports from dallas. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning to you, george. Were in the parking lot of a Bank Building north of ft. Let me get out of the way and you can see what happened here. That is some sheet metal that came off the roof of this cars in the parking lot below. The roof of the building just [ bleep ] blew off. Reporter a reported tornado touches down on top of this Bank Building north of ft. Worth, texas. Im going to call 911. Reporter the winds ripped down pieces of the roof tossing them onto cars below. Flying sheets of metal raining down just an hour before the end of the workday. All of a sudden we started hearing a swirling sound. It was very terrifying. Reporter somehow no one is hurt. But plenty of cars are damaged. Across north texas a line of torrential blinding rain. This funnel cloud spotted earlier in the day. Cracking. Reporter the same storm illuminating the sky, hail leaving holes in cars. In oklahoma it made for a driving adventure. This semi losing control and jackknifing. Utility poles getting knocked to the ground. In kansas, winds and rain practically halting traffic. And in arkansas, transformers igniting after power lines were tossed to the ground. There is no structural damage to the building behind me but it will be closed today so they can clean up quite the mess here in the parking lot. A cleanup that feels a whole lot more like a storm we would see in spring than in november, robin. It does, ryan, thank you. The race for president now and this morning, gop candidate ben carson is coming under fire facing questions about stories he tells on the stump about his violent past. Abcs tom llamas is in the studio with that. Good morning. Back in january dr. Carson said he welcomed the vetting process, actually welcomed being under the magnifying glass and right now thats exactly where he finds himself. This morning, dr. Ben carson facing new accusations claiming he made up part of his compelling life story which he mentions frequently on the at age 14 another teenager angered me and i had a large camping knife and i tried to stab him in the abdomen and fortunately under his clothing he had on a large metal belt buckle and the knife blade struck with such force that it broke. Reporter but cnn says several friends, neighbors and classmates dont recall that ever happening. It. Reporter back in 2000 carson recalled the same story in a documentary, going into detail about his violent temper. I would hit people with hammers and bats, throw rocks at people, almost put a guys eye out one time. Tried to even hit my own mother in the head with a hammer. Reporter carson calls the investigation comical and claims cnn interviewed the wrong people. I want to point out how silly the cnn investigation is because when i would have flashes of temper, it would only be to people who were directly involved. It wouldnt be something that everybody else would know. Fire from gay Rights Groups for saying this. How about we have a transgender bathroom . It is not fair for them to make everybody else uncomfortable. Reporter his recent comments following another unorthodox move. His campaign releasing this rap ad running today in several cities. In we wanna get america back on track we got to vote ben carson a matter of fact reporter its pretty catchy but thats not carson rapping. His strategy to appeal to younger black voters which at this point in the race republicans usually dont go after. Another debate, of course, coming up next week so who is in, who is out . Give us the starting lineup. Big news. Now only eight. I know we say only eight. The lineup right now, the two people missing governor Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee. This is not good for their campaigns. The stage will be smaller because of low polling numbers those two wont be there. Theyll be in the lower card debate so well see how this changes the debate. Whether you can get back on once youre off. We move to those candid comments from president george h. W. Bush. The new buy iography about him from jon meacham. He takes off on cheney and rumsfeld calling him an arrogant fellow who served george w. Bush badly. Reporter this is something weve really never seen before, a big bush family dispute bursting forward into the public. Bushs sons, george w. And jeb revere their father but both are forced to respond to his criticism of cheney and rumsfeld and by extension of george w. Bush himself. In a statement bluntly disagreeing with his father george w. Bush said, i am proud to have served with dick cheney and don rumsfeld. I was fortunate to have him by don rumsfeld ageably led the pentagon and was an effective secretary of defense. As for bush, he told me jeb bush, he told me just this week that his father is the greatest man alive, but he is now siding with his brother on all this. Listen to this. My brother is a big boy. His administration was shaped by his thinking, his reaction to the attack on 9 11. I think my dad like a lot of people that love george wanted to create a different reporter one particularly awkward tidbit is that the book says jeb bush tried to get his father to drop Vice PresidentDan Abrams Dan quayle when he ran for reelection. Quayle just endorsed jeb bush last week. Donald rumsfeld had a pretty pointed response saying the former president , the eller president bush is getting on in years. Reporter this probably kit sit well with either bush camp. Years and misjudges bush 43. They may disagree with their father but i dont think either jeb or george w. Would particularly appreciate, you know, that kind of a comment from don rumsfeld. Awkward stuff, jon karl, thanks very much. Clinton on monday. Traveling to New Hampshire next week to talk with her. Okay. Now to another bizarre twist in that Illinois Police suicide. He considered hiring a hit man, investigators say, to take out the woman who may have exposed his illegal activity. Abcs alex perez has the story. Reporter this morning, new details on lieutenant joe gliniewiczs plan to cover up his tracks.

Reporter Authorities Say fearing he would be exposed gliniewicz killed himself with his own gun in september shooting himself twice in an elaborate plan to make it seem like he had been gunned down in the line of duty. At the time, many here embracing his family while Police Search for suspects that they now say never existed. For two months his widow insisting he would never take his own life. There were things that were happening in our life that people who are going to commit suicide would never do.
