Job in ecommerce just this week. The room of applicants was packed. In your late 20s and early 30s, looking very professional. And i realized they were competing with me. And i thought they were all because they were so smart, because they were young, they were smarter than i was. But i didnt walk out. Reporter the next day, she got the call. Finally, right . Yes, finally. She goes back to work on monday. She was not threatened by the younger people in the room. And nose nails, from maze nails in illinois, and nobody stockpiling them. Home depot saying theyll hire 80,000 temporary workers as Home Improvement season nears. Spring is coming. They believe the recovery is on the way. And every nail is a victory. Thank you, david. Now we turn to a new chapter in the search for justice on the war on terror. The soninlaw of Osama Bin Laden has been brought here to new york city. He was in a courtroom today, very near ground zero. Abcs Ron Claiborne tells us why and what happened. Reporter security was tight this morning for the arrangement arrangement of sulaiman abu ghaith. The husband of Osama Bin Ladens daughter. And the first member of the terror masterminds family to appear in a u. S. Civilian court. Dressed in blue inmates clothing, he said little during the proceeding, just yes and no to several questions from the judge. His lawyer entered the not guilty plea on his behalf. Just before and after the 9 11 attacks, abu ghaith served as an outspoken propagandist for al qaeda. The indictment said he conspired and agreed to kill americans. But the Justice Department decided to try him in a civilian court rather than send him to guantanamo. If abu ghaith goes on trial, it will be here at the u. S. District courthouse in lower manhattan. That courthouse, less than one mile from here. Ground zero. Karen greenburg was inside the courtroom. When you bring somebody who is alleged to be within the inner circle, whether operation or not, has a symbolic importance for everybody in new york, for the jurors and for the families. Reporter abu ghaith was held without bail and will appear in court in april and will likely stand trial later this year. Ron claiborne, abc news, new york. And we learned about a flaw in security designed to protect against terrorism tonight. An undercover agent of the u. S. Government, easily got a fake explosive device through airport security. Undetected. How did they do it . David kerley tells us. Reporter a stunning breach of security. An undercover investigator with a fake bomb hidden on his body last week in newark, isnt caught. I find that somewhat shocking, not surprising. Reporter the tsa tells abc news the agent with a device hidden so well it would be hard to detect, went through a metal detector. But he was pulled aside for a pat down too. The officers at the checkpoint never found the fake bomb. Its sort of like a red teaming scenario. You intentionally look for where the weak points are in the system. I think it clearly identified a vulnerability. Reporter tsa says their Red Team Test happen weekly all somewhere in the country. But the agency refuses to say how often its officers fail to find the device. The focus on devices and liquid explosives is a big reason why tsa says it will stop looking for pocket knives, allowing them onto airplanes. But that plan is facing a growing backlash. Tonight Delta Airlines is joining in demanding that the policy remain no knives on plan. Some plan to ask congress to intervene and stop the april 25th policy change. We are going to spend every single day between now and then making sure that it doesnt. Reporter knives may be debated, but theres no debate that explosive devices should ever get through one of these checkpoints. David kerley, abc news, washington. Thank you, david. Now notes from around the country. For the first time in america, one state has created a law allowing teachers and other personnel in Public Schools to carry guns in the classroom. They cite the shooting in newtown. Two dozen other states of are contemplating similar measures as this law in south dakota goes into effect. We also want to tell you about a big national recall. An iconic american brand in millions of kitchens, bumblebee tuna. Tonight the recall of their tuna is growing. 2. 4 million cans, because the seal on top is loose, which means the fish inside could spoil more quickly or become contaminated. The recall affects five ounce cans of bumblebee chunk white albacore and chunk light tuna, sold as early as january 17th and as recently as 48 hours ago, march 6. Also tonight, that big snowstorm is leveling its final blow to families in the northeast. In massachusetts, some towns hit by two feet of snow and abcs meteorologist ginger zee shows us why the weary people are so tired of digging out. Reporter waves and flooding has this town north of boston teetering and falling on to its side. Boston got over a foot, while the storm dumped up to two feet in parts of connecticut and massachusetts. Hammering the coastline. The waves are really huge out there, an angry ocean. You can see the winds pushing it. The gusts have been up to 50. In massachusetts, we found mike caputo, he didnt evacuate. You could feel it. Reporter hes babysitting his basement sump pump. But when we went to check it out. Somethings not working. Reporter so you didnt know this was down here . No. Reporter mikes basement had already flooded. Not a good surprise. No. Reporter and one town south, more water, driving snow and a driving ocean. This whole street is completely covered in water. Tonight this winter storm is finally in the rearview mirror, pulling away, but pulling parts of new england with it. Ginger zee, abc news, massachusetts. Thank you, ginger. We turn overseas now. New pictures from the secretive nation of north korea, the country which threatened the u. S. With talk of Nuclear Weapons last night. There they are, kim jongun visiting troops near the border, sparking a kind of hysteria as soldiers raised their hands in the air, in the surf, supposedly a sign of their devotion to the regime. Now the big news out of rome, the conclave, the vote to choose the next pope will begin on tuesday. The cardinals will move into a sequestered building near the sistine chapel. We see their quiet rooms. Theres a bed inside, a cross above it and a desk to study. Theres also a chapel in the dorm and tonight, the Italian Press is reporting that among those cardinals, a division is growing on one side. Roman insiders on one side and other americans pushing for reform. Abcs terry moran talks to men and women in the American Catholic church for the reality of their views from here. Reporter they will choose the next pope, the cardinals, the princes of the church, all men. All rigorously loyal to the conservative vision that now dominates church leadership. Sometimes it all seems so far away, so different from the lives and concerns of catholics here in america. Especially american nuns. Last year the vatican cracked down on the main Umbrella Group of american nuns, representing 80 of them, accusing them of embracing radical feminism. But they and many other nuns have not been silent. We need both women and men voting for the pope. We dont have that now. We need to work toward that. Reporter Sister Christine schenk wants to change the catholic power structure. I get worried when our daughters and our sons are sitting in the pew on sunday and only ever see men taking roles of sacred worship at church. Reporter but tradition has such a strong pull. We spoke with two sisters in new york and found that like many American Catholics, they like things just the way they are, and were. The holy father has to be a father. The priesthood is a fatherhood. Were mothers. Spiritual mothers. Reporter parish priests who have the most direct contact with the faithful, they know things change slowly in the catholic church. Very slowly. Women priests . A woman pope . Not going to happen. Not in my lifetime. Reporter but as American Catholics look to rome next week, many may be wondering, if not now, when . Terry moran, abc news, new york. And i want to remind you, starting monday, the Abc News Team will be reporting live from rome as the conclave begins on tuesday.

The sale of homes is a strong part of the economic recovery in this country, but as jim avila reports, some home owners are in for a shock. The seller doesnt tell them theyre buying a house that can make them sick. Reporter ah, the american dream. This house was the first place that we could really call home together. Reporter the hankins family saw a starter home for sale for 35,000. They jumped at the chance. One of my favorite memories was painting ezras room green. Reporter it was a foreclosure, advertised as is. After weeks of sanding, priming, pluming and painting i was getting dry mouth, nose bleeds, headaches. Reporter could it be their dream house was actually making them sick . Turns out the little starter had a secret past. It was once used as a meth den. All those dangerous chemicals had seeped into the floors and ceiling. So toxic we had to put on hazmat suits just to go in. Its horrifying. Its like a nightmare, you know, reporter the hankins say they should have been warned. That the seller freddie mac should have known and that meth residue should require a warning, like lead paint and asbestos. Turns out, most Home Inspections dont include testing for meth residue. Freddie mac sent abc this statement. We empathize with the hankins, but neither we nor the listing agent had prior information about the homes history. But the police knew. They had arrested the previous owner for meth numerous times. If they had come to us, we would have given them a heads up. Reporter experts estimate there are 2. 5 million homes contaminated by meth in the united states. To make sure youre not buying one, have your home inspector do the special test for toxins and ask the local police if the home was ever involved in drug activity. Ask for the hankins and i guess the 62,000 question is, will you ever buy another house . It willing a long time, if it will be a long time, if ever. Jim afil a abc news, bend, oregon. And the solution were told is that you get the house specially cleaned. But the family tells us, the cost of that special cleaning is more than the house is worth.
