will also see a stronger cold front coming. it looks as though we may be dealing with some afternoon thunderstorms, some of which could be strong to severe. we're going to be watching for the

task force. >> reporter: as he tried to brief congress, the attorney general was grilled by both democrats and republicans over the government's domestic antiterrorism efforts and why big cities like washington and new york aren't getting a bigger share of security funds. >> some of the funding decisions made by this administration have been mind numbingly, insanely wrong. >> our national security policy should consist of more than just dumb bombers and smart citizens. >> reporter: the question now, though, is how much more information will faisal shahzad share with federal officials and where that information will lead. investigators say shahzad used a series of couriers both in the united states and overseas to transfer funds. it's a method often used to not raise red flags among law enforcement. tom fitzgerald, fox 5 news. we have some good news coming out of the gulf of mexico tonight. right now it appears the oil spill has not seriously affected sea creatures, at least not yet.

something jarred it or something happened to the pole. >> reporter: miller escaped serious injury when the pole came down during rush hour. he says there was no wind, just a little bit of drizzle. miller took these pictures of the pole which show a considerable amount of rust. the damage to his van was one thing. but the lack of concern he says he got from d.c. officials when he called

protection division is charged by statute with assisting consumers which are defined as the actual or prospective purchasers of goods or services. since the consumers dealing with we buy cars are the

little more than a screwdriver and a hundred bucks, you can make your home substantially harder to break into starting with a few 17 cent screws. >> longer screws actually can make the difference absolutely with kicking the doors. >> reporter: he says most developers use these cheaper half-inch screws to attach the metal strike plate. these pictures he says show how one kick can force those screws loose destroying the frame and making the lock useless. but a three-inch screw goes all the way through the frame and the wood support on the other side strengthening the doorjamb, making it

trigger, then we could see some thunderstorms in the afternoon. i don't think everyone will see them but if you do see them, keep in mind they might have some gusty winds and hail stones with them.

possibility of some thunderstorms in the afternoon. by 8:00 in the morning 62 degrees. by noon 78 and by 4:00 85. i think that's around the time frame when we'll start to see the showers and storms developing around the region. check out the other high temperatures. fredricksburg, you could be as warm as 88 degrees. waldorf 86. germantown 85 and winchester 83 degrees. then the front comes on
