I agree with most of your comment, but this.
I do believe they've been tracking it - but also having to keep the information out of the hands of traitors such as the New York Times.
Signs at the airports were posted immediately last night including the liquid ban. Those signs had to be made up in advance.

I can accept that they had their eyes on some (possibly even all) of the scumbags -- but I do NOT accept the idea that *something* didn't grab 'em by surprise in the wee hours of last night. SOMETHING happened that put them into instant pucker-mode, FAST, with NO warning. Something they did NOT expect to happen last night. Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to wake GWB and MC (and all the others who got "the phone call" in the middle of the night). They would have already been up, waiting for whatever to happen. For that matter, strike that -- they would have been sleeping, because the perps would have been taken down before it became necessary to go into ultra-quickstep mode.
