DHS would never want to scrub the international passenger manifests before the flight takes off because the diversion of flights due to DHS "false alarms" has eroded DHS's credibility internationally. Never.

Will the airlines' bouncing someone on the ground off the flight at the DHS's urging get the kind of live television news coverage that DHS's no-fly lists causing flight diversions does? I have my doubts.
