if they do that? it's too much to worry about. the game is way too fast. and i know they're not thinking about it. so why should i be thinking about it? >> what they might be thinking about, tom brady

phone without a camera, they're hard to buy. >> i might call for a certain document, legal research to be sent to me on my phone, which i can read. >> and the sheriff says they are seriously considering a policy of holding people in contempt, with a fine or even jail if the phone rings or is used in the courtroom. mary? >> thank you. the court is concerned cell cameras will be used to

chills down into generally the teens most areas. 18 here. 2 below. yeah, in oakland. that's the way it feels. on your skin, as the heat is removed on your body. that's the way your body responds to

tonight. -- talking about tonight. president obama is calling for ramped up security at airports around the nation and around the world. but are patients ready for the bod scanners, that kind of exposure? >> reporter: at bwi marshall, a second form of screening has been under way for two years. you see this man standing in a full body scanner. it captures an intimate image reviewed in a remote location. it's this kind of screening president obama is pushing for. because it likely would have stopped umar farouq abdulmutallab in his tracks. the nigerian is accused of hiding explosives in his underwear. a poster at bwi each display -- even displays a transapparent image of underwear. passengers are split on their opinions of the full body scan. >> does not bother me at all. whatever it takes to be safe. >> i guess the question is, does it violate your privacy? >> i wouldn't feel consist comfortable doing it. i think it's just strange. >> reporter: another security measure, president obama is backing hundreds of police officers across the nation, being trained as federal air marshals. >> reporter: but that's a security improvement we as passengers really won't notice. federal air marshals dress in plain clothes just like passengers. they board the planes just like passengers. except they're armed and trained to look for terrorist threats. >> any measures to help the traveling public, i think, are very warranted especially in a time of elevated security precautions. >> reporter: and the extra air marshals, one of the additional layers of additional security

at fort meade high school, apparently made some statements about making a homemade pipe bomb. we do know that military police and explosives ordinance personnel responded to the area of that student's home, which we are told is near cavalry road and cooper road, located on fort meade. now, personnel have established a 500-meter line. actually, they put a perimeter around the outside of this. evacuated all of the homes inside. we are told, early information is that they found some explosive residue in the home, apparently the adult, the parent there, is a service member and is cooperating with authorities. military police and explosive ordinance personnel remained on the scene. there are no reports of injury at this time. back to you on tv hill. the recession may be behind us. but the

for their buck. >> reporter: even with the latest round of cuts, the unemployment rate remained unchanged alt 10% -- at 10%. >> that's because so many have given up. once people stop looking for diswrobs, -- jobs they are no longer considered in the unemployment rate. >> we have to continue to work every single day to get our economy moving again. >> reporter: in a spark of good news, a revision to yesterday's report showed the economy actually added, 4,000 jobs. the first time that's happened in nearly two years. >> reporter: as for jawalsha, she hopes her temporary position becomes permanent, as employers become more confident. >> part of the job losses might have been due to colder-than- usual weather. construction employment fell by 53,000 jobs. and that sector is especially sensitive to the weather. a dutch man arriving in new york, was among the first hiv- positive forn -- foreigners to enter. clemens arrived from amsterdam for a one-week vacation. the obama administration recently repealed a 22-year-old travel ban on people with hiv. a ban that criticizes unfairly stigmatizing people for the virus. >> i'm delighted to be here. and for the first time in a

search time. >> someone, especially being out in frigid temperatures, obviously time is of the essence. >> reporter: seniors would wear this wrist band. >> put it in a helicopter and it can scan five miles around. >> little program has focused on autistic children. but is now including howard county seniors. who have a brain disorder. louise frequents the senior center, where elderly work to maintain their health. and many of them know how hard it is to take care of loved ones. >> even if they're standing beside them. pretty soon, they look around and they're not there. >> and she wishes
