neil: what about the various casino ceos i know at the wynn and this might be just an immediate aftermath of this event, that they are screening luggage. i don t know if they re using magnetometers. but that process has already begin. whether it continues and others follow, i have no idea. do you worry about that? or is that the adjustment you make after something horrific happens? you would know, neil, these are privately owned hotels, they may call and ask different aspects of government and say what would you do. what we re learning from boston and what happened after the boston marathon, i ve been talking with the mayor in orlando with pulse. i ve been talking with governor malloy that was part of the sandy hook tragedy and how that was handled. you learn from those that have gone before you, how you can do something and go through your checklist. did we do this right?
how has security changed? what is hat mood been like? i think for ourselves we have been a little bit on edge. you have to carry on in a situation like that. probably couldn t be any more safer in the world at the moment. everyone on high alert. jillian: so we walked through the security at the wynn ourselves. they went through my little bags and my big bag. they unzipped everything. we got waned. people got patted down. they have dogs throughout. it s definitely a heavy security presence at the wynn and other hotels in this area guys. people said i don t care if it takes me an extra 15 to 20 minutes, i would rather be safe. steve: what you told us yesterday with wayne newton he was questioning whether or not he should go ahead and do the show that night and he said the show must go on. jillian: yep. that s the vibe out here right now. brian: all right, jill i can t believe, thanks so much. 4 minutes before the top of the hour. next hour or two kellyanne conway is going to be joining
take a look. jillian: when did you get into town? just yesterday. jillian: okay. you got here and despite everything that happened the last couple days why did you still want to come. i m here for a conference. i m here for a tournament it the wynn hotel. i could be a millionaire today. comedy show. jillian: what do you think of the security going on at the wynn? great. very good. they checked our bags when we came. in they waned us down. security is fine when you check in. there is a lot more cops. like police cars and cops walking around. yeah, everywhere you go there is police there. and they are just looking out for everyone. we are very from a very small town in michigan. 10,000 in our town. it s surprising to see this type of security. when we come back, people still in the casinos. everywhere we have been, everyone has been really polite and accommodating. we see security walking around all the time. i thought it was great. jillian: walk us through the last c
luggage of the assailant in las vegas. already a couple of hotels and casinos in greater las vegas are doing that. the wynn, for example. and that is showing down the process but maybe that s what happened. after 9-11, you could walk into any building in manhattan. now you have to check, get your i.d. screened and go through magnetometers. will life change? aaron cohen is here with us. israelis wrote the book and how to respond and deal every day with terror. by the same token, that doesn t mean they go through enormous lengths to prevent it. what is the middle ground here? what do you do? great question, neil. the middle ground from my feeling here is that we can deploy an israeli hybrid. had bags been checked at the mandalay bay prior to the mass shooting, the gunman with his
