“I was expecting you,” suspected bomber Faisal Shahzad reportedly told the border agents who seized him from his Dubai-bound flight Monday evening. And clearly the suspect should have been expecting agents, given the trail of clues he allegedly left behind and the steps investigators were taking to close in on him, which were detailed in a wealth of media reports. But even though Customs and Border Protection agents were also expecting Shahzad — his name was on a no-fly list — he managed to slip past airline personnel and board his plane unhindered, only to be caught at the last minute as Emirates flight EK202 was preparing to pull back from its gate. The near-miss arrest has exposed some flaws in the passenger-screening process, and prompted changes by the Transportation Security Administration.
