You have missed the point. The single most incompetent thing a government official could have done about the Egyptair flight would have been to say "We know it was terrorism, and we are gonna infiltrate and get you" Why would you want to put your enemy on alert like that?
It is imperative that Clinton, Bush and all other government operatives lie about these things. We can not afford to let the other side know just how much we know. If we had done what you wanted it would have accomplished nothing except to make you feel better, and make the job harder for our intelegence services.
