Senior administration officials say that Faisal Shahzad was put on the no fly list on Monday at 12:30 pm ET.
So how was he able to board the Emirates Airlines flight to Dubai?
“It takes a few hours for the airlines system to catch up,” a senior administration official tells ABC news.
Another senior administration official adds that Emirates refreshes their system to update with US intelligence information periodically – but not frequently.
In any case, the first official says that airlines were “within minutes” of Shahzad being put on the no-fly list told to “look at a web-board” and manually check its passenger manifest against the news on the web board.

How embarrassing.
So Emirates made the feds lose track of the bomber on the way to the airport?

Holder also said they “thwarted” the attack...even the local liberal TV station was laughing at him here in NYC saying they thwarted nothing, it was botched...

doesn't this mean that the 0bama administration considers Emirates Airlines to be responsible for our safety...not US Government/workers? That's precisely the point.
Obama's cowardly need to run from any responsibility knows no bounds!
If he has to, he'll blame his own children (if they indeed are his own) rather than let the blame fall on him.

Were Napolitano replaced, then there’d be a chance of getting someone in that position who had a clue. I fear that's the last thing Obama wants.

Emirates Airlines alerted the administration that this terrorist was on the passenger manifest. Zero, you and your administration are IDIOTS and @$$holes.

They never heard of real time processing in IT?
