Shutdown puts further strain on air traffic control system

Roughly 750,000 federal employees were furloughed when the government closed its doors.

That has raised concerns about the strain on an already understaffed and overworked cohort. Geoff Bennett spoke with Nick Daniels of the air traffic controllers' union.
