The political narrative has shifted dramatically to terror and National Security since the paris attacks. Candidates have their own ideas on how to keep this country safe. Somemeore extreme than othths and donald trump now trying to distance himself from a controversial comment that he sa was misconstrued. Abcs devin dwyer at the white house for us. Hi, devin. Reporter hey, good morning, paula. You know, fear of terrorism here in the u. S. Is now near its highest level since 9 11. The threat from isis and what to do about it have become the top issues on the campaign trail. Anxiety over terrorism is testing the president ial candidates in new ways. Donald trump was asked about setting up a database of muslims in america. Should there be a database that tracks the muslims in this country . There should bebe lot of system beyond databases. We should have a lot of systems and today you can do it. But for muslims specifically how do you actually get them registered into a datababa . It would be just good management. Reporter trumps answer set off a flurry of condemnation from his rivals. Should the federal government keep a registry of any religious group, the answeweis, of course, not. I find d abhorrent that donald trump is suggesting we register people. Reporter ben carson said a database of all citizens in the u. S. Is a good idea. Hopefully we already have a database on every citizen who is already here. If we dont, were doing a aery poor job. Reporter truru later tweeted, i didnt suggest a database. A reporter did. We must defeat islamic terrorism and have surveillance including a watch list to protect america. In a new abc News Washington post poll, 81 of americans feel a major likely and a majority, 54 , are concerned about a potential threat from Syrian Refugees and want them m stay out.

But Authorities Say passengers sheard a phone conversation. It was all a mistake. Still, s sce that russian jetliner was brought down by a bomb, possibly in a soda can like this, there have been concerns about the possibility that that bomb was put on the jet by an insider, an airport worker. Could that happen in the u. S. . The responsibility for screening airport workers is left to airports. But this mornini, just three of the u. S. major airports have decided that workers should be screened just like passengers. That means a 100 check, every employee has to go through devices likekehis before they can get into a secure area. 34,000 people work at miamis airport and are screened before entering secured areas. And you think it works . I know it works. Reporter miamis Security Director says the 3 million it costs each year is a small price.

Go to Coast Guard Foundation dot org to help support coast guard members francie lathams refrigerator looks good on the outside but it seemed to have a mind of its own. It would make so much ice, it would flood the freezer. Reporter extra ice was annoying enough but then the fridge went on the attack. I would open the door, anit would shoot ice at me. It shot ice at my husband one time. Reporter francie bought the fridge at home depot for about 1800 and also got a threeyear warranty. Less than two years in, the stairsrs reporter but francie had that extended warranty so she called for a repair and another and another. He said, i think you have a possessed refrigerator. Reporter after six months home depot said the solution from the manufacturer was for francie to just keep emptying the ice every day. I said, but, wait a minute, and they said, no, were declaring that this is over, that were done repairing it. Reporter francie was frozen out so she called in the abc news fixer. Our fixer, stephanie zimmermann, got on the case contacting home depot. Home depot agreed to investigate and in the end they decided to refund ththfull price and gave her a 100 giftftard to make up for the hassle. Home depot said it should have been handled better and apologized and appreciated the opportunity to make it right. Its fixed another satisfied customer. Lets bring in the fixer herself, stephanie, good morning and good job getting this fixed. A question for you. For anybody else planning a big live purchase, what are the different kind of warranties on fer . Well, dan, any time you buy a product you get something called an implied warranty. Thatssust that you can expect that the proroct will function. And beyond that ththes usually a Manufacturers Warranty and in the case of a fridge that usually lasts about one year. And after that, you have the option to buy an extended warranty, which is supposed to give you even more protection. You know, i thought there wasas an implied warraray when we hired sara haines, but shes still picking on me, so what about these extra extended warranties that weve been discussing this morning. Are they worth the price . Well, it really depends on the product and depends on the plan. If its a really well made product that has a good history wf performing well, th i think you shld just save your money because the amount you would spend on the extended warranty is probably more than you would really are worried and find a good plan, go for it but consider how long does the warrrrty last and will it t ver any kind of repair, and are they going to charge you a service fee if they come out to repair and, finally, make sure you dont have to perform any extra maintenance in order to keep the warranty in effect. Those are all things to consider as always, the fine print is important. Stephanie, we appreciate it and, by the way, if you have a Consumer Problem for the ac news fixer, you can find her at abcnews. Com fix ir. Maybe shell f f your problem right here on gma. My mom would just say, they dont make them like they used to speaking about refrigerators or pop news anchors. She broke the mold. Sara, you definitely broke the mold.
