The Transportation Security Administration has implemented a new rule requiring airlines to check the no-fly list within two hours after being notified of a special update, after the suspect in the Times Square bombing attempt made it through security at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport Monday night.
Faisal Shahzad had boarded a plane bound for Dubai when Customs and Border Protection officials found him and authorities brought him into custody.
But in the wake of the close call, officials told Fox News that the TSA will pro-actively implement the new policy starting Wednesday. Currently, airlines are required to re-check the no-fly list within 24 hours after a change. The new rule calls on airlines to check within two hours of being "electronically notified of a special circumstance expedited no-fly name," an official said. Shahzad was added to the list through that process, though the airlines did not catch him.

You mean they didn’t learn with the panties bomber?
TSA: Frick and Frack. Tweedle dee and Tweedle dumb. Barny and Andy.
Hey Grandma, hold it right there. Get prepared for a full body search!
Golly, what about a ‘No Fly’ list is beyond the understanding of security?
If they aren’t going to use it, why do we have it?
At the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, Muslims have infiltrated the TSA security apparatus to the point that almost every TSA employee watching the “exit only” doors is a Muslim.
Why is this the case when the Muslim population in the Dallas/Fort area is minimal? What is being planned here?
Heeeellllllooooo?????????
This jagoff actually was able to board, despite being on the watch list and buying a one-way ticket with cash? The underwear-bomber was also on the watch list too wasn’t he? What does it take for these idiots in TSA and Homeland Security to wake-the-f***-up? Another September 11th?
Somebody should invent some kind of device that if one guy types something into it, everybody else can see what he typed, automatically. It would be kinda like TV but it wouldn’t have to have pictures. It sounds weird I know but hey you never know what crazy things will catch on these days.
The real story is probably closer to some "brave peon worker" broke protocol and said "hey, wait a minute" ....
One of my other problems is that the Feds said they were "familiar" with Faisal before the Times Square thing. I'm sure that info has been shredded by now....
These people are getting a “Pass” BECAUSE THEY ARE MUSLIM. Same as Ft. Hood....lest we offend.!!! WAKE UP!! We have a Muzzie president...and this will continue...
The plane was on the runway and was seconds from being told to takeoff.
They only found him after he used his cellphone.
“This jagoff actually was able to board, despite being on the watch list and buying a one-way ticket with cash?”
Well, it was Emirates Air and he was leaving the country - I have a feeling they get a lot of that.
“Two Hours” is too long, when an airport is less than 30 minutes from most peoples homes. My company has the ability to flash a pop-up box on my monitor if there is an emergeny such as a fire, shelter-in-place or security lock down. And it all happens within minutes. They can’t do that with TSA?
I thought they located him from a manifest list
Yes,bought the ticket while driving to the airport.
Oh.
I dunno.
But that plane was a lot closer to taking off than they are saying. I wonder if that airline would turn around and land if ordered by the US??
I heard a report that after they pulled him off the plane and the plane was taxiing down the runway, they called it back again to pull off a few more people.
I only heard the audio from the tower, it was said to be with him on the plane. I suppose someone could easily be lying about that.
re: I wonder if that airline would turn around and land if ordered by the US??
With any other administration they would turn back or never fly in American airspace again. With this bunch, all bets are off.
A good first step would be to make it as difficult to buy an airline ticket as it is to rent a car. No credit card, no ticket. Or, if paying cash a delay in using the ticket.
mixed emotions here...this Jihadi punk needs to pay for his crimes, but if he had slipped away we might be talking about the beginning of the end of the Obama Regime this morning.
Yeah, I know what you mean. But on the other hand, Obama & his minions (msm included) would do their very best to blame it on Bush, so hard to know how that would turn out.
