I'm with ya this is fishy. Think there is possibly something in the patriot act that enables homeland security to put a gag order on the media?

the word would get out, closing all flight traffic into JFK airport for hours - it could not be covered up.

No, but it is no secret that if a piece of information is controllable - i.e. not many people or members of the media know about it - the feds are able to manage the release. Occasionally, members of the Washington press are asked to hold stories for a day or two, and the reward is that they'll be given the scoop on another story at some later date.
