FBI Asked Homeland Security to Refrain From Notifying All Airlines About Shahzad 'No-

[JBeukema]

(maybe we need a National Security section?)

The FBI asked officials at the Homeland Security Department to limit the number of airlines which were given special emergency warning that the name of Times Square bombing suspect Faisal Shahzad had been added to the U.S. government's "no-fly" list in the early afternoon on May 3, 2010, Declassified has learned. The FBI asked Homeland officials to limit special notifications about Shahzad's fresh "no fly" listing because it feared that telling too many airlines about it might lead to news leaks, which the bureau feared were already interfering with its investigation and threatening to spook the suspect, said two Obama Administration officials familiar with the issue, who asked for anonymity when discussing sensitive information. An FBI spokesman declined to discuss the matter.

Airlines should not need a special emergency warning. They should do their job automatically & check each passenger against the No Fly List.

On top of this what about the TSA security. They charge us fees search us, dump our luggage, confiscate & lose our stuff & yet fail to check our names with the No Fly List.

We are fools to let these assholes charge us fees to stomp on our liberties & still provide no real security. Not even computer checking passenger list, wanted or warrant list or IDs is lame.
