NEW YORK SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER IS JOINING THOSE CRITICAL OF THE POLICY CHANGES COMING TO AIRPORT SECURITY CHECKPOINTS.

Knives are dangerous, they haven't become any less dangerous since 9-11.

STARTING NEXT MONTH, PASSENGERS WILL ALSO BE ALLOWED TO CARRY ON TOY BATS, GOLF CLUBS, SKI POLES AND OTHER SPORTS EQUIPMENT.

LAST WEEK THE T-S-A CHIEF SAID THE CHANGES WOULD PUT THE AGENCY IN COMPLIANCE WITH POLICIES WORLDWIDE AND KEEP SCREENERS FOCUSED ON EXPLOSIVES.

The key factor for me is that may detract us.may detract us.from that item that could be catastrophic for failure to an aircraft.

SOME AIRLINE OFFICIALS AND FEDERAL AIR MARSHALS HAVE SAID 'NOT SO FAST'.

THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS' UNION SAID THE POLICY WILL FURTHER ENDANGER THE LIVES OF ALL FLIGHT ATTENDANTS AND THE PASSENGERS.

You can't even bring a cup of coffee in many cases onto an airplane and here we are allowing small knives.

UNDER THE NEW GUIDELINES, KNIVES WITH BLADES LESS THAN TWO-POINT-3-6 INCHES LONG AND A HALF-INCH WIDE WILL BE ALLOWED --AND MUST HAVE A RETRACTABLE BLADE THAT DOESN'T LOCK INTO PLACE.

You don't have to be Albert Einstein to know that these items are dangerous.

But a knife like this can be used to hurt flight attendants to hurt passengers

BUT TURNS OUT.THE KNIFE THE SENATOR HELD UP.SIMILAR TO ONES SOLD IN OFFICE SUPPLY STORES.WILL "NOT" BE ALLOWED UNDER THE T-S-A'S NEW POLICY.

The offers they're presented with include offers to apply for credit, offers to sign up for a free trial offer for various products. At the end of the day, after they complete all those steps-- 13 or more steps-- they're often presented with something that says now find three more people who will fill out this information."

JAPAN'S ENERGY SOLUTION-PKG

IN THE FAR NORTH OF JAPAN'S HONSHU ISLAND, WIND FARMS BLANKET THE LANDSCAPE.

THEY ARE ONE PIECE IN AN ENERGY PUZZLE. AS JAPAN TRIES TO FIGURE OUT HOW IT WILL POWER ITSELF IN A POST FUKUSHIMA WORLD. TWO YEARS AFTER THE TSUNAMI. AND DESTRUCTION OF THE NOW CRIPPLED NUCLEAR POWER PLANT.

IT IS A TALL ORDER WHEN IT COMES TO WIND POWER.

RIGHT NOW IT ACCOUNTS FOR LESS THAN ONE-PERCENT OF JAPAN'S ENERGY RESOURCES.

AS YOU CAN SEE THIS AREA IS REMOTE AND RUGGED - AND ON MOST DAYS - PARTICULARLY IN THE WINTER - WINDY AS WELL.

BUT AS SOME CRITICS OF THIS RENEWABLE ENERGY WILL POINT OUT, WHEN THE WIND STOPS, SO DOES THE ABILITY TO GENERATE POWER.

AND IT'S A STABLE, CONSTANT SUPPLY OF ENERGY THAT IS CRUCIAL.

BUT AT THE HEART OF JAPAN WIND DEVELOPMENT'S FUTAMATA PROJECT -- ARE THESE.

MASSIVE BATTERIES, 17 OF THEM, CAPABLE OF STORING ENERGY AND RELEASING IT IN AN EVEN FLOW.

"This completely changes the equation for a renewable power plant 25450 you can actually supply the power when it's needed, not just when the wind is blowing"

THE BATTERIES CAN STORE ENERGY THROUGH THE NIGHT WHEN THERE'S USUALLY MORE WIND. AND THEN RELEASE IT DURING THE DAY WHEN DEMAND IS HIGHER.

BUT AS THE COMPANY ADMITS, IT DOESN'T COME CHEAP.
