This week's Super Bowl festivities include all kinds of entertainment, including free concerts and parties. But a shadow economy often accompanies these big events. Law enforcement officials say the Super Bowl is a magnet for human traffickers - with people forced to work as prostitutes and laborers against their will.

Guests:
• Bertram Fairries, FBI assistant special agent in charge
• Ruth Silver Taube, legal chair of the South Bay Coalition to End Human Trafficking
