New Passport Requirements May Cramp Travel

Beginning today, all Americans flying into the United States from Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean must have a passport. The new regulations are the result of post-Sept. 11 security concerns.

Melissa Block checks in with Zachary Mann, a Miami-based U.S. Customs and Border agent, to find out what happens when people don't have their passports.
