Thanks
It is, as Global_Hi_Flyer pointed out, between the lines. My inside information informed me that it would take at least 48hrs if not slightly longer to run a passenger name through the vetting process. The reasoning behind this is unknown, except possibly for incompetence.
Because the passenger cannot be vetted in time, and there appears to be no mechanism to transfer the successful approval of a passenger from Airline A to Airline B, any passenger whose PNR is assumed by a carrier inside the cutoff time for getting them vetted by TSA will not be approved to clear into the sterile area without a secondary inspection.
Why can't the computer check be done immediately, or at least within 10-15 minutes? You got me.
