Please let me know if you get an answer: I seem to recall it was less than 24 hours after the attacks.

The stewardesses on the flights gave the seat numbers of the hijackers to HQ. The hijackers used their real names for ticketing, etc. Many of them were already known by the CIA and other agencies.

But not the FBI? Or State Department?

Incredible.

Thanks for remembering that about the stewardesses, mike. Great memory.
