Airport security is seeing the effects of the partial government shutdown, leaving most of the Department of Homeland Security without funding. Mark Mayfield has details.

Surveys show nearly half of adults use sleep trackers here in the U.S. But one sleep expert say they're not totally accurate. That story from Michael Kessner. Sleep specialist Samuel Gurvik with the Cleveland Clinic says sleep trackers monitor movement and type of movement and will estimate if you are sleeping, but numbers could be off. So if you're looking for really granular data like how much deep sleep you're getting or REM sleep you're getting, these trackers tend to be much less reliable. Gurvik says to truly know how you're sleeping and if you have a sleep disorder,

a sleep study is needed. That involves going to a lab where brain activity, breathing and other factors are looked at. I'm Michael Kessner.
