This Morning from CBS News, Nov. 6, 2015
Security and scrutiny
With the question of whether it could have been a terrorist attack still being hotly debated, the break up of a Russian airliner over Egypt's Sinai Peninsula has prompted heightened security at the airport from which the plane departed. And about 20,000 British tourists find themselves stranded amid the ongoing discussion.
Gun debate
Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley appear at their first forum in South Carolina, where gun control will be a key point of contention. The issue has already become a flashpoint in the race this week, as all three campaigned across the country on how to curb gun-related deaths.
"Dead organization walking?"
The Republican National Committee has a problem -- it's losing control over how candidates raise money, as changes in technology amplify changes in politics. Social media platforms have provided a major instrument of change for that shift, as the likes of Ben Carson and Donald Trump skirt the party establishment to court voters directly.
Louisiana shooting
Louisiana State Police are investigating a shooting involving city marshals that killed a 6-year-old boy and critically wounded his father. Christopher Few and his autistic son Jeremy Mardis were shot after a chase in central Louisiana. The coroner says he was initially told marshals were pursuing the driver because of an outstanding warrant, but police say they can't find any such warrant.
School sexting
Colorado parents are outraged and worried over a massive school sexting scandal in which some students could face felony charges. Officials say they've discovered hundreds of nude photos on students' phones. The school's varsity football team has been forced to forfeit this weekend's playoff game, and parents are rethinking how they monitor teen activity in a high-tech world.
VR classrooms
Google is teaming up with hundreds of schools to teleport students to far-flung places that many of them might only have seen in textbooks. The program, called Expeditions, uses virtual reality and is part of a widening initiative not just in the U.S., but also in Australia, Brazil, New Zealand and the U.K.
