Good Evening.
Undercover federal investigators say slipping past airport security is actually pretty easy at major U.S. airports.
More troubling is that not much has changed since the last inspection six years ago.
CBS Correspondent Lee Cowen has the new report by the Transportation Department's Inspector General.

Another man who lived inside the house, 68-year-old Clayton Price, managed to escape out a bedroom window.
The Fire Marshall says the fire started in a den at the back of the house.
Although a wood stove there WAS being used for heat, he says it does NOT appear to be the cause of the fire.

Infant formula is critical. A child's sole source of nutrition must be current or the vitamins loose their potency. Of course rancid formula can make a child sick. And that's why formula is one of just two products with expiration dates regulated by law.))

The federal government says bunk beds should be safer.

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Washington DC;]
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has approved new mandatory standards for the beds.
Beginning next July, the opening in the upper bunk can be no more than three and a half inches.
Too much space between the slats of the upper bunk can be dangerous because children can fall between them and strangle themselves.
The Safety Commission also wants a continuous rail on the wall side of the bunk.
In the last nine years, 57 children have died in bunk bed accidents.
