people who said we have to do more and also trying to address the concerns of those who are saying, how are you going to know that whether these are terrorists or not? as the obama administration has said, we have rigorous screening processes. in fact, it takes 18 to 24 months for refugees to go through the process as they re screened to make sure that they are not going to do harm when they come to this country, but this is a country of immigrants. we have been a welcoming country during our history. we have that statue of liberty sitting in the harbor off new york, and this is just a massive humanitarian crisis, caused by the war in syria that raged for more than four years, and that is what we need to address at its root if we re going to address the refugee crisis. as long as the continues we ll see people fleeing fleeing the .
for magnetometers as you go to movie theaters ready for screening processes. i don t know. most movie theaters have police officers that work friday saturday sundays, high volume times. a lot of movie theaters employ the use of private security but right now i think america is going to take a good hard look at strengthening these soft targets. yeah. well is a way to strengthen a soft target to have somebody serve your bag? i can t even imagine that but should movie theaters do that? if you think about that look how far we ve come since 9/11. could we have ever imagined taking off our shoes and belts before we go through security checkpoints at airports? it very well may be the answer at some point. we have to reconsider our security and also remember this as we change our targets from soft to hard it leaves other soft targets vulnerable for things just like this. okay. so there has been a suggestion that maybe people should be allowed to take guns into movie theaters? that is a
think he s aware of what i m doing. if he was going to kill himself, he didn t have to wait until he got in a plane with 149 passengers involved. how thorough are the screening processes in the united states when it comes to pie will thes? would screenings here picked up the problems this co-pilot went through? jake at last a good question. i think the screening process is well done. most of it focuses on stress and that in and of itself if you could deal with a given stress through those particular tests, you can certainly qualify. one of the tests, one of the phases i remember is listening to an air traffic control situation with reference to an air traffic control situation. we were suppose to do gee am try and math problems while listening to the tape and then ask questions what did you hear the controllers say and so on. that s a stressful time and were
saying he should not have been at work on the day when he was co-pilot of that plane. greta? so the big tip-a off there if you re flying license in 2013 says you have a medical condition, you would hope somebody who would employ him would want to know a lot about that medical condition and make sure he is monitored very closely. that s a huge red flag to me. reporter: it is indeed, greta. that is now the big question. what did his employers know? what were the screening processes at a that airline? when did they know it? how much did they know. and so many red flags, as you say greta. now even the french authorities just today the prime minister said it is time that german authorities particularly the airlines, started handing over a lot more piles and a lot more information. and we also saw today three trainers left here, flew to
like this. that makes sense. that s its job to get out information about threats to the homeland as widely as possible. but just to be clear, this threat not specific or credible enough to get all of our counter terror agencies working on a direct response to it. so for those of us who might have to travel or have travel plans, including airplane flight, does this mean longer screening processes? reporter: it does mean some new measures. it s going to be things like extra swabs maybe as you get to the plane. those swabs they use to test for explosive residue on your bags or on your clothes, that kind of thing. but not a full phalanx of new guards and new kinds of security measures. remember of course we already have to take off our shoes when we re going on a plane if that s what they re looking for specifically this. really does show the difficulty of dealing with threats like this because they re getting a lot of information. it s not always specific and credible. so they have to
