“Didn’t I hear Obama say that all flights in progress were notified of the attempted attack.”
Hmmm. As I recall, Napolitano made a comment that ~120 flights were notified. If so that “might” cover the inbounds over the Atlantic, but what of the foreign carriers? There would be far more than that. If one was really pious, the Pacific inbounds (both foreign and US carriers) would also have been notified. Remember, Al Qaida likes to do BIG coordinated attacks.
Finally, does a a flag operation make a bigger crater than a domestic flight? Obviously, the domestic flights should have been notified as well, and yes the airline dispatchers have the capability to do this as well. So now you see that there are probably, perhaps thousands of flights that could have used the information and only a little over one hundred were notified.
No one can say that the “system worked”. Well, you can say it, but it don’t make it so.
We have come to expect that every single word from this administration is an outright LIE.
Very strange. Napolitano’s reference to “all 128 flights” just does not compute. That number is nonsensical. Is this a clintonian “all 128 flights that we intended to notify”? or all 128 flights from Amsterdam, or all 128 flights with passengers from Yemen with no luggage on the terrorist watch list?

Hoekstra: Napolitano Makes ‘Major Blunders’

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and President Barack Obama seem intent on denying that foreign terrorism is a threat to the United States while taking half-measures that leave our borders undefended, says Michigan Republican Rep. Pete Hoekstra.
