go out and grab a bite to eat. there are so many good places so baltimore magazine i'm sure has the pockets to go to. >> also great places to enjoy a cocktail with your friends or your husband or wife should that be the case. >> absolutely. we'll probably be doing that this evening. cocktails for a cure are here in the studio from bno. they'll tell us how to enjoy specific drinks that are tasty. they're mixing them up and it's for a great cause so we'll tell but that and another great cause speaking of that, there's something coming up that we want to let you know about. operation christmas child. it's such an easy thing to do. they're putting on this fundraiser, ways to really brighten up the holidays for kids in the area. we'll tell but that. >> also the pet of the week. we have a cute one here today. >> not me. i'm not that cute. especially when you look at don. look how cute he is. he's up for adoption. he's here in the studios, a shy guy right now. we'll introduce you and tell you how he can get a home or any of the other cats or dogs at the maryland spca. >> we have great thanksgiving recipe tips for you. you have the turkey. you have the dressing but what about the stuffing? we have two great recipes but first, the hot topic. >> we're talking about security. airports in florida and georgia are debating whether to replace tsa security employees with check points, with private contractors instead. republican congressman mica-h of florida a long time critic. tsa sent a letter to 100 busiest airports urging them to consider using contractors. orlando sanford international airport has decided to opt out of using tsa agents. it's the 24th busiest airport in the country and there's no word on whether or not they got the letter or what they'll decide but if we find anything out we'll keep you posted. as of today 60 airports have those full body imaging scan machines. we have seen them, every airport is using personal full body pat do you know if you set off an alarm on the regular screener and many of us will go out of town for the holidays but what will happen with the security? >> reporter: for some travelers thanksgiving will be the first taste of this, new measures some call intrusive, others ineffective but tsa officials say it's working. body scanners have captured passengers trying to smuggle mayor one arches whiskey, even knives. as for the pat down -- >> i'm very sensitive to and concerned about people's privacy concerns. the bottom line is we need to provide for the best possible security. >> reporter: look at this. is this really the best possible security? >> are pat downs and scanners the best way? >> no. >> reporter: isaac kent runs security for the israeli airline. the tel aviv airport is a constant target of terrorists but they have not had a breach of security in 8 years. how do they do it? >> what we do, we interview every passenger. >> every passenger. >> every passenger, no exception. >> reporter: first at roadside blocks as they approach the airport. then questioning everyone again inside. assessing the risk based on how they act, look and where they are from. >> critics who say you can't do this type of thing in the united states because it's profiling, what would you say? >> if i'm interviewing every passenger with no exception, what is wrong with it? >> reporter: he says an interview would have red flagged shoe bomber richard reed. he got a british passport in belgium. through to paris, one way ticket to florida, paid cash and came to the airport with no luggage. tsa responded by making passengers take their shoes off. in israel, security officers are college-educated, trained for months and speak at least two languages and they're routinely tested by undercover agents carrying fake explosives. >> if an agent misses one of these fake bombs. >> he is going home. there is no mercy. >> now the tsa does conduct similar tests but employees who fail are generally not fired, just retrained and our producer just got in our ears and said by the way the airport in israel takes 30 minutes to get to the gate from the time they walk in the door because i think you hear all of this that they do and you think how long would it take me to fly out somewhere. >> we're told to arrive two hours early for screening and things of that nature and they reportedly has offered up the blue print for the airline policies to the u.s. those policies were then denied or rejected by the u.s. but another idea that's been tossed around both by the israeli airport and those who are proponents in the u.s. would be that of training and hiring former military who already have been trained in security measures as well as scanning, and then give them something to do from their training in the military background, into the workforce. >> go to the face book fan page and let us know what you think. let's check on the weekend weather. >> take it away. >> before we do that at 9:06. how about this? we spent more than half an hour doing the research this morning. what a crazy year it's been so far. we have got that confirmation of our tornado in baltimore, ef- 1 with winds 830 to 11 miles an hour but this entire year has been extreme to cincinnati least and i think that would be the understatement of the year. we have had two blizzards in early february. they gave us 50 inches, just in the first week and a half. followed by 105-degree heat in early july. you know the most number of 90 plus and 100 plus degree days ever on record for baltimore, followed by tropical storm nicole flooding at the end of september. okay how could we list all of this stuff and then also forget that earthquake, a 3.4 nearby in july. good stuff. i think it speaks for itself. what do we have left? a beautiful scene in manchester with the pretty sunrise, clouds giving way to more sun and that will dominate across the region. manchester one of the cool pockets in northeast carroll county with 40 degrees, 45 pasadena and on the eastern shore we're pushing 46 right now in easton. matching the mark in ocean city and dover as they go back to the official temperature in baltimore at 46. lagging behind a little bit to the northwest but fairly uniform conditions and about the wind. we have been dealing with some force of wind pretty much throughout the week. the good news we watch the arrows shrink up, the wind is less this afternoon and the shift from the southwest when you wake up tomorrow morning although it will be chilly it will start to usher in milder temperatures. we get back to near normal over the weekend and we may have have ale drop with the winds to the north sunday but overall the winds will ease up for today and more sunshine already developing across the region and our day will look rather nice with the 2-degree guarantee though being a little cool. we should get to 55. on a normal day, 50 is what we'll call for this afternoon with 40s outside of the beltway and we look for less wind to give way to a very chilly night. down to about 29 at the official reporting station bwi marshall, staying low to mid 30s downtown by even colder north to west. the day tomorrow, a mostly sunny sky and a few clouds from time to time and a high temperature back to 56 degrees. now, there's some of the, some indication of a big warm up but a big storm coming by thanksgiving. we'll let you know what it means with the extended outlook in the next half-hour. >> you hang out in the weather center. we'll be here at the makeshift bar. cocktails a good subject on a friday but cocktails for a cure is even better. >> brandon is here to tell us more about this because not only are we talking cocktails we're talking cocktails for a great cause. >> exactly so cocktails for the cure is something we do for world aids day all the way to december 1st. each cocktail is $10 but a dollar of the proceeds go to a local foundation here in baltimore so keeping the money local but it's something we do throughout the family company. >> you guys did this before. >> yes did. last year we did. >> how did it go. >> it went well. last year we raised about $100,000. that's a nice chunk of change to be able to donate. i want to make something for you guys today. holiday season, not everybody can drink so and you wan to keep it festive so we'll do a holiday punch for you today. and all of these ingredients you can get locally. one thing you have to make, i made this at home. this is a spiced ginger syrup so all i did was peel some ginger, coin it, throw it in a pot with some water, sugar, and then let it steep for awhile and then strain everything and you have the nice lovely spice. >> is this your own creation?

it is an unbelieveable gift for the children. these are children that are not used to receiving gifts at christmas. they do definitely try to time it so they do receive it around christmas, sometimes they get received a little later than that but it -- they're not used to receiving gifts so simple things that you know some of our children here may not see as a gift, these children in these countries it's amazing. >> what do you need from people?

adam sandler may have mocked the lunch lady but the truth is her job is no laughing matter. what happens in her kitchen can impact your kids ' health. >> they come home full and happy and it sounds good. >> reporter: how do the cafeterias look on paper? we decided to find out so we looked through thousands of pages of inspection reports, sorting through hundreds of schools all over the baltimore area to see who is serving up something that might turn your stomach. >> evidence of infestation of bugs or rodents, mice or rats. you're looking for keeping food at appropriate temperatures. >> food inspectors do the searching behind those serving lines but hold onto your hairnets. we're showing you the reports you'd never see otherwise and from what we have seen, mystery meat isn't the only scary thing in the kitchen. >> i'm glad that my kids are packing. >> reporter: even kids who pack lunch have to eat somewhere and if the cafeteria is not clean, they could be sharing crumbs with some teacher's pests. we looked at active pest violations for 479 schools in four districts baltimore city, baltimore county and hartford county chalking up how many times they were cited for critters and arundal was cited for lowest and baltimore city had a small total. baltimore county was near the top with 10 % of the 160 schools cited but hartford county had the highest percentage, eight of the 53 schools, that's 15 %, had at least one violation for having mice, rats or bugs. >> very disappointing to hear those numbers. >> reporter: but not unusual according to former inspectors. >> the reports say they're being controlled. even in your own house you'll get mice now and then. >> reporter: we're not talking about your house, this is about cafeterias where they are cooking for a lot more people, often using pre-packaged food that just needs to be reheated. >> it's a simple operation. they're not doing much to it. it's like tv dinners. >> reporter: it may be simple but not doing it right can be dangerous. temperature violations are considered the most serious because they can make you sick but still plenty of local schools have them. there were 68 cited with at least one critical last year. almost 40 % of hartford county schools, 19 of 53, had critical violations. baltimore county 27 of 160 were cited. 20 of baltimore city's 17 schools racked up critical violations while only two of the 88 schools in aa county were written up. >> it has to maintain temperatures so it's simple. doing something like that there's really no excuse for it. >> no excuse when it comes to your kids. that's why training is required and those inspections are done. most of them don't turn up major problems. >> that's not to say there aren't things that can be made better but generally the facilities ' directors do a good job. >> filling the bellies of your kids, so someone else can feed their minds. that's why many parents are willing to cut the lunch lady some slack. >> a spec of dirt on the pizza, i can live with that. we all have to eat our pound of dirt, don't we? >> now we spoke with representatives from all four districts about the report. only one wanted to go on camera with reaction and it was baltimore city. >> it's never good any time you have any kind of health code violations but we think considering the number, the very low number and the large amount of schools that we have, we think that we're doing a good job in trying to deal with the problems, abate them quickly, and make sure that they don't continue to come back. >> the other districts sent in written statements with each one telling us food safety is their top priority and they take pride in serving students quality food and clean environments, in clean environments every day. all say when violations are reported within the schools the problems are immediately corrected. you can read the complete statements from each of the districts at our website, abc 2 news.com and you'll find the expanded coverage of dirty dining. look at the schools where you live and see whether they deserve a gold star, or some of needed attention. you all find those investigations in our investigator section again at www.abc2news.com. thanks. 9:23. every single friday the most popular person to walk in the building is arlene from the spca because she brings things like this. check out don up for adoption. we'll meet this handsome guy and talk to her about things going on with our pets. already >> thanks for joining us. what could be better than football and dogs?

it takes a lot of training to operate the snow vehicles. they have had the simulate or for two years. it can help crews learn on nearly all of the trucks. while most months are not snowy, clearing the runways at the airport takes preparation year round. >> very sensitive, safety sensitive situation so they have to be totally on their game >> the simulate or can recreate day or nighttime in any type of weather and it helps when the driver makes a mistake herein stead of on the runway in the middle of a storm. >> it leaves snow behind. either go back and pick it up or someone behind the formation can pull out of line and pick up what i missed. >> reporter: with all of this equipment and the snow there's a lot going on at once. >> plane is landing. taking off. taxiing and you have fueling trucks, replenish meant trucks, contractors, tugs, baggage carts, all moving around at the same time. >> when the real storm hits, they bring out the big gear. this is a $700,000 truck they call vamos. >> you can plow, broom and blow snow all in one operation. >> reporter: this is the largest piece of equipment they have. they don't expect as much snow as last year but they say if that happens they'll be ready for it. don harrison, abc 2 news. >> i swear there's jealously going on in the studio, justin was like how come nobody asked me to go in the simulate or. >> simulate or envy. >> just so you know airport officials are encouraging you if you're going somewhere, park in the garage if we're expected to get a lot of snow. that way travellers, when they get to the car it won't be covered with piles and piles of snows and it will make it easier to plow the lots and get people moving. there are over 11,000 covered spaces they want you to take advantage of them. one thing that's always big come the weekend, weather not pending of course, what to do and where to do it. for that you want to check out the latest issue of baltimore magazine. also for the december issue, so much more inside. editor jeff bloomberg is here to tell us what's in the pages. >> good morning. >> night life is the cover story and you're hitting the hot spots. >> yes we sort of did a comprehensive user guide of places to hang out. we divided locations in 14 categories so if you want to go to a sports bar, allowing, a gallery. we have it all included. >> there's something for everyone because what is offered in baltimore certainly is rather diverse. you guys did your homework finding the best places for everyone. >> we wanted to include you know down the corner bars but some of the fancier spots because not everyone's idea of a great night is the same and we want to include new spots and old. >> and it is christmas season, just a little more than a month away. you guys are also dough voting time to the gift guide. >> yes and it's cool because we divided it up into themes based on holiday movies so it's a wonderful life and home for the holidays, and all of those great movies. >> you guys win the holiday movie route. >> yes. home for the holidays is home gift items, toy land, kids ' items so we kind of got cute with it. >> where is national lampoon's christmas vacation?
