attendant checked his ticket after several passengers complained about this guy's smell. robert ore shows us what the feds later found in his bags. >> taken off from new york's kennedy airport and was already in the air heading for los angeles last friday. when a flight attendant found something strange on board. there was a man in 3e, a seat that was supposed to be empty. the man pulled out a day old boarding pass issued for a different flight the previous day. and the name on the boarding pass did not match a university of michigan id baring his real name. sources say he made no threats and carrying no weapon. the flight crew did he recalled it was safe to fly on. his plate approached lax. the pilot gave controllers no hint of a problem. >> clear to land.

>> but upon landing, the mystery passenger was questioned by the fbi. a nigerian national told the fbi he was in la to recruit people. he claimed he simply used the boarding pass and didn't buy a ticket. confirmed he had lost the boarding pass on a new york subway and simply printed another one at the airport kiosk. he was turned loose, but only for four days. fbi agents arrested him yesterday. they found him back at lax trying to board another flight, delta 46 to atlanta. again with a boarding pass that was not his own. and a search of his two bags turned up more suspects. at least ten more boarding passes in various names. he is now charged with being a stow way on an aircraft. he was screened for explosives

gate ferries. several complained about the machines. >> none of the machines worked this morning. they all started going down one by one, so they weren't accepting debit cards and credit cards when the whole system crashed. >> the bridge district says replacing ticket agents with machines is just one of many ways to close an $89 million short fall. >> it's everything from a car pool toll put into place earlier this year for $3 to multitruck rate increase that goes into effect tomorrow to reducing our staff because technologies are there, more efficient and cost effective. >> i feel that workers should strike. i feel valid concern of theirs. and i would pay a little more to keep people employed. >> well that commuter will get his wish. fares are going up, but not to save jobs. had service resumes on saturday, fares are going up

5%. in the meantime, those commuters who did not get the message about this one-day strike tomorrow, they will have buses at the terminal during the morning commute and that is where they will drive passengers over to the golden gate bridge toll plaza where they can board other buses to get into san francisco. >> linda yee, thank you. one in 17 federal inmates could soon see their sentences shortened. that after a panel decided today to retroactively apply a recent change in an old law that many said was racist. don knapp reports a majority of the people who will benefit from this decision are black. >> of 12,000 inmates in federal prisons for crack cocaine, 80% are african american. >> this is one of the major aspects of the criminal justice system. it was purely racial. >> african americans got much

disperties between crack cocaine and powder cocaine. today 12,000 people are going to be able to get a second chance at being productive citizens in our society. >> crack possessions still draws a longer sentence than powder cocaine. the sentencing disperty has been reduced and eligible for shorter sentences will have to petition the courts. no releases expected before november. >> all federal crimes. don knapp, thank you. more than 5 dozen san jose police officers lined up today to turn in their guns and badges. in all, 66 officers were layed off as a way to help the city balance the budget. the uniformed officers gathered outside to shake hands with and to hug the departing officers. those we talked to had a variety of emotions as you might imagine, ranging from fear for people living there to anger. >> personally i think it's been a slap in the face because we made a commitment 2 1/2 years ago to lose a job for 30

years and do it to the best of our efforts. >> we can't go out and serve the city. that's what i wanted to do my whole life. born and raised in san jose and now i can't talk to citizens. >> today was also the last day for 25 officers who accepted early retirement. other news making headlines around the bay area now, an oakland man is under investigation for 21 rabbits found living outside his apartment in filthy, crammed conditions. a neighbor called the spca to report the animals. the rabbits crowded in two small cages at an apartment complex. some of them were deformed from starvation. the rabbits were being prepared for slaughter. 18 are up for adoption. the family of michelle lai and the report of two calls made on the woman's phone after she vanished are just not true. a san diego television station reports there was a call to

reno and one to arizona sourcing someone close to the case. heyward police tell cbs 5 they did follow a possible lead in arizona, but it was not connected to an alleged phone call. >> well it's no secret, we tell you about it every night. many have money problems right now, despite its broken budget, one east bay city managed a 180- degree turn in one of its most dangerous neighborhoods and much of the credit belongs to its citizens. elizabeth cook on the long time dream that has finally come true. >> area used to be known as the killing fields of oakland. is now an urban oasis. tonight oakland city council president, larry reid, opened the doors to the east oakland sports center. a dream he has had for the past 0 years has become a reality. >> place for the residence of

the city to go and enjoy a = of life they have not been able to enjoy. >> a lot of times people don't think cities like oakland can have facilities like this. i agree, we want our kids to have what kids in the suburbs have. >> it took ten years to get the money for the facility with the help of measures b, d, and ww, and redevelopment funds. >> all these years of working to put this together, you see what it means to so many people. >> and as an indoor swimming pool and slide, dance and fitness rooms and karate. >> that's only the beginning. in phase two, they want to build new tennis courts, a new pool, soccer fields, even a new baseball field. that's going to take more money. >> right now the facility is open seven days a week, but that might not last. >> like what most people will see at the end of summer, we may have to cut back some of the money. >> budget talks are far from

the minds of these kids. they are relishing in their new sports center, if a place that needed a reason to smile. >> in east oakland, elizabeth cook, cbs 5. >> it's going to be a great summer for all those kids. it's awesome. well they are not created equal. which fast food joints have been named the best? >> their neighborhood was for ever changed by an explosion. we'll show you what ,,,,,,,,,,,,
