Yeah whatever. As if an outfit that can't get the correct amount of crew meals on board is going to save the day. These clowns couldn't organize a one-car parade and they want you to believe they were instrumental in stopping this loyal "American"...

Riggggght...

"Fly Emirates - the Official Airline of the Pakistani Taliban"...

The move came after Shahzad, a 30-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen, was allowed to board an Emirates Airlines flight bound for Dubai from New York's Kennedy Airport on Monday, despite having been placed on a no-fly list at 12:30 p.m. earlier that day. The airline did not take action after receiving a message sent to all airlines alerting them to check their flight manifests for an individual added to the no-fly list, U.S. officials claim.
New U.S. anti-terror measures in place after bomb scare

In other words, Emirates DIDN'T do anything, and then tried to claim credit for reporting the pax...AFTER HE WAS CAUGHT!

How typical.
