Former TSA Agent Arrested for LAX Threats; World's Most Expensive Car Now Available
BURNETT: Our third story OUTFRONT, breaking tonight what could be a punishing blow to gun control. As we speak, the Missouri House and Senate, which have already passed a bill that would make it a crime, a crime for federal agents to enforce federal gun laws. That would mean a crime to enforce a background check, for example. They're back at it. That bill was vetoed by the governor. A short time ago, the House voted to override the governor's veto. Now the Senate is taking up the measure. This is a story we've been following. George Howell is OUTFRONT. He's been to Missouri to cover this story for us. George, the Senate expected to vote tonight. Obviously, this is a huge national story, but what will happen in Missouri tonight?</s>GEORGE HOWELL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Erin, look, this could be a really nail biter in the Senate. We know it will take 23 of 34 members in the Senate to vote yes to override the governor's veto of this bill and we know of at least one member of the Republican Majority Leader Ron Richard who switched his support of this bill to no, only because he's concerned that the constitutionality of this proposed legislation. But again, this is expected to go to the Senate tonight. The House already voted. The House voted 149-49 to override the governor's veto. So we're waiting to see what happens with the Senate. They're in recess right now, but they will take this up tonight.</s>BURNETT: All right, so if they override that veto, this passes. What does it mean then for Missouri where it's a crime as you reported on this program yesterday to then enforce any kind of federal gun law like a background check and what then happens in Missouri?</s>HOWELL: You know, it really all depends upon who you talk to. So if you talk to supporters, they call it the Second Amendment Protection Act. They say that it is more symbolic than anything else. But when you talk to opponents of this proposed legislation, they say it could have real teeth to cause real problems, would it essentially nullify federal gun laws in the state of Missouri. It would also give citizens the right to take legal action, Erin, legal action against law enforcement officers who enforce federal laws. And it would make it illegal in the state of Missouri to publish the names and addresses of gun owners. That's something that came after the Sandy Hook incident. They decided to add that to the law, but many say that would protect some people who should not have guns. You're hearing from law enforcement agencies like the St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson. He says, Erin, look, this is a bad law. He says it would criminalize law enforcement officers when they try work with federal agents to take guns off the streets. You know, this will be a nail biter tonight to see what happens with the Senate. They are expected to vote. And we will continue to watch.</s>BURNETT: Obviously crucial and so many national implications, these stories we're following. Thanks to George Howell. And it's not just Missouri. I mean, we're watching stories like this in a few other states. Another big one, Colorado. Two lawmakers out of a job in the state's first ever recall. The reason? They supported gun control laws. John Morse is one of them. He says he's proud of the stand he took despite losing the recall race.</s>JOHN MORSE, FORMER COLORADO STATE SENATE PRESIDENT: What we did was the right thing. And I said months ago, if doing this costs me my political career, that's a very small price to pay.</s>BURNETT: The lawmakers were up against the National Rifle Association. The NRA spent about half a million dollars to oust of them. But obviously that's another big blow to gun control today. And our fourth story OUTFRONT is threats against one of America's biggest and busiest airports in Vegas. Tonight, officials beefing up security at LAX, Los Angeles International, after a former TSA security screener was arrested and charged with making threats against that airport. So yes, on the inside. Someone on the inside. The TSA. These threats, the world in particular would be watching 12 years to the day after 9/11. Casey Wian is OUTFRONT tonight with that story.</s>CASEY WIAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The former TSA worker Nna Alpha Onuoha's Web site shows in photos and rambling writings a disturbed man obsessed with Jesus Christ and Satan. On Tuesday, the day before the 12th anniversary of 9/11, he quit the TSA screening job he had had since 2006 and left a suspicious package at Los Angeles International Airport. (</s>On camera): Los Angeles airport police are taking the threat by the former TSA employee so seriously that they beefed up security around all Los Angeles area airports. It's the middle of the day. Normally there's no wait to get into LAX. You can see the extra police presence in effect here. (</s>Voice-over): Onuoha's package did not contain a bomb. Rather an eight-page letter criticizing the United States and his recent suspension from his job. The FBI also says he called the TSA twice, instructing it to begin evacuating terminals, adding he would be watching. Onuoha was arrested outside a church about 65 miles away in Riverside, California. The Joint Terrorism Task Force has now conducted at least two searches of his Englewood apartment near the airport. And this latest this afternoon, traffic around the apartment was blocked off while police investigated another suspicious package.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: An angry little guy so I left him alone. He was just always mad at the world.</s>IVAN MASON, DIRECTOR, U.S. VETS LOS ANGELES: He's been living in our community for a number of years and he works in the TSA. He has not displayed any abhorrent behavior while here in our community.</s>WIAN: It turns out Onuoha is the same TSA agent who in June allegedly criticized the attire of a 15-year-old girl, telling her to cover up. Her father then tweeted out this picture of his daughter as she was dressed then and complained to the TSA, causing national outrage. Photos on his Web site showed a note dated September 11th, 2013, proclaiming the scriptures are being fulfilled and a banner reading "The end of America" and "The end of the world." For OUTFRONT, I'm Casey Wian, Los Angeles.</s>BURNETT: Still just incredible that that person worked, past all the security procedures, worked for the TSA. Money and power tonight is all about a car. In fact the most expensive new car in the world, Lamborghini, in the United Arab Emirates is currently displaying a diamond encrusted gold Lamborghini Aventador. OK. Take a look at this. The car features a solid goal suspension, because you need gold against the asphalt. Wheels cast from platinum. Gold plated body panels and seats lined with more than 700 diamonds. They probably really hurt when they get stuck in the wrong part of your butt. It will be a great toy for one buy which is appropriate since it is at the moment literally a toy. The car currently on display as a prototype, an eighth of the size of a real Lamborghini. If you are willing, though, and able to cough up $7 million, they will make the full size Lamborghini for you with all the gold and diamonds. Now this will put you in very exclusive company. The number of people in -- on the planet, OK, who bought million-dollar cars is only in the hundreds. The makers always limit production to maintain exclusively and then they pre-sell them often years in advance. Two of this year's most anticipated car, a new Bugatti and the Koenigsegg will be sold for more than $3 million each. And there's only a few of them available. So you'll be one of like two or three people. So what to do if you're like, you know, us? You don't have the money but you want to get some to begin with. Actually -- well, I want one of these cars, but anyway, here's a solution if you do. Visualspicer.com sells a Lamborghini Aventador for $3.90. It is a paper kit. It does not come with gold or diamonds, but like the Lamborghini on display in the UAE, it's about an eighth the size of the real one and looks very real. And the truth is it probably handles just as well as that $7 million car made of gold and diamonds because the acceleration with all the diamonds and all that other junk, well, we're betting, frankly, it's just not Lamborghini style. Still to come, the White House playing defense over Syria today. Using Twitter to take on critics aggressively. One of the journalists targeted by the Obama administration comes OUTFRONT. Plus more questions about Diana Nyad's record setting swim. Others swimmers now saying she was, quote-unquote, assisted. And new questions tonight about how a groom in Montana was killed. Why authorities believe his bride was the one who pushed off a cliff to his death.
