Alex savidge is live at the airport now and you have reaction from the tsa on that incident. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning to you. Tsa officials are staying tight lipped about this investigation. The agency right now is working hard to figure out how this passenger who was apparently drunk was able to fool other passengers into believing that he was a Real Security screener. It all happened at one of the checkpoints at the International Terminal at sfo on tuesday. According to a Law Enforcement source, this is the man taken into custody 53yearold eric slighton. Investigators say he managed to pass himself off as a security screener directing a woman into a private woman where he apparently gave the woman a patdown. According to one published report, slighton seemed to dress the part. He was wearing khaki pants, a blue polo shirt and he had on blue rubber gloves. Investigators say the man tried to do the same thing with a second passenger, another woman, but thats when a Real Security officer caught on and then notified Airport Police and slighton was then taken into custody. Now, the victims in this case are believed to have been foreign travelers and some believe there may have been a language barrier at play here and that could have led to some of the confusion. Passengers we talked with this morning say this arrest is disconcerting and they hope something is done to prevent this from happening again. I think they are so busy checking in passengers and their security and thats where the and they are security and thats where it becomes time to check that. Reporter because investigators havent been able to track down those two victims for the time being, the man in custody, eric slighton, is only facing a charge two charges, i should say, one of being drunk in public, the other for being involved in a suspicious occurrence but its possible more serious charges could be coming. Tsa officials are investigating. Let me put on the screen, the statement we received from the tsa this morning. Its not a lengthy statement. It says tsa is aware of the alleged incident and is cooperating with Law Enforcement. We are working to get more information from tsa officials.

But while most regions including the bay area cut back, water use in Southern California actually increased by 8 . Southern California Water agencies say, though, the report numbers are deceiving. They claim the survey only looked at one single month of water use. That data can be skewed by thinks like leaks, new customers and varying temperatures.

Lets move along and take a look at the bay bridge. If 101 stays slow, the bay bridge may be affected as people getting off the bridge will be slowed down and then you will see a bigger backup here. If you have to go, go now before it gets bad there. The traffic is backed up for about a 20minute delay.

Sal, an amazing job finding a new accident in San Francisco on 101. We unfortunately found a new one as we were talking about an accident that was cleared and traffic was recovering and now we have more slow traffic because of a brandnew crash. Southbound 101 at cesar chavez. As i look at the incident details, it doesnt seem as serious as the first one but we have slow traffic on southbound 101 as you leave San Francisco. One of the things that i want to mention about this is that you can use 208 as an alternate route. This is southbound 101. You can see the road sensors. 280 is slow. It will be slow through daly city. Southbound 280 is slow through san bruno. I still think its a better deal than 101. However, if you know some of your side roads to get on 101 after candlestick, it might actually be worth it for you. Lets go to some other things now, the bay bridge has not become heavier on westbound bay bridge. Its still a 20minute delay into San Francisco. Heres steve. Thank you, sal. A very good morning.

Its always been somewhat challenging to get to the ten minutes but weve pretty much been in the percentage basis. Now were seeing excess of 12, 13, 14, 15 minutes.

I think between both of these crashes it will take a while for 101 to unwind. You might want to think about using 280. Its slow heading out of the peninsula or if you want to get on the freeway on 101 sometime after or near candlestick, maybe you want to go down to brisbane if you are at the south end of the city.

Well, were hearing more this morning from the tsa about a bizarre incident at sfo. A man was arrested. He was pretending to be a security screener and giving a woman a patdown. Alex savidge is live at the airport now with that reaction from the tsa and also alex from some passengers. Good morning. Reporter dave, good morning to you. The tsa wont offer any details about this investigation. But you can imagine the agency right now is working hard to figure out how this happened. A passenger is accused of fooling other passengers into thinking that he was a Real Security screener. The man was apparently drunk at the time. This all happened this week on tuesday here at the International Terminal at sfo. According to a Law Enforcement source, the man who was arrested for this crime is 53 yearold eric slighton. Investigators say he managed to pass himself off as the security screener directing a woman into a private security woman where he apparently gave the woman a patdown. According to one published report, slighton dressed the part. He was wearing khaki pants, a blue polo shirt and had on blue rubber gloves. Investigators say the man tried to do the same thing with a second passenger, another woman, but thats when a Real Security officer caught on and then notified Airport Police. Slighttop was then slighton was then taken into custody. The victims are believed to be foreign travelers. Some believe there may have been a language barrier at play here. Passengers we talked with say this arrest is really hard to believe. Slightly disconcerting. The fact that all of the steps we have to take. I think its another measure that te find. I mean, it took so men events to do what we have to do in order to have security. I think this is one more way they found a loophole. Reporter police were unable to talk with the two women involved in this case because after this all happened, they boarded their flights and left the airport. And because investigators havent been able to track down the victims yet, for the time being, slightton is only facing charges of drunk in public and for taking part in what police term a suspicious occur aps. Its occurrence. Its possible he could face more charges. As for the tsa, they only put out a brief statement. Well put it up here. This is the entire statement.

Reporter the robbers tied up a Security Guard, took holt singh and two other women in a matter of minutes, then sped away in a Bank Employees suv. Within a couple of blocks, the suspects shot one of the fee my hostages, a Bank Employee and either threw her from the vehicle or she jumped. Reporter another hostage jumped or fell from the suv. She was grazed by a bullet and expected to survive. In the end, one hostage and one robber dead in the suv. The other robber died at the hospital and the third in police custody.

If they would have laid down the tracks and end it, i wouldnt have a dead cousin. For the spike strips, the officer has to go out in the street and deploy those.
