“…FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] intelligence was never provided with, or even informed about, the State Department’s list of known or suspected terrorists. Thus, there was a tremendous disparity between the FAA’s ‘no-fly’ list, which on 9/11 comprised twelve names, including [9/11 mastermind] Khalid Sheikh Mohamed, and the State Department’s TIPOFF list, which included some 60,000 names. In fact, the FAA’s former head of civil aviation security, Cathal ‘Irish’ Flynn, testified before the 9/11 Commission [on January 27, 2004] that he had never heard of the State Department’s TIPOFF list until the [9/11] Commission’s hearing on the subject in January [26] 2004.”
