U.S. counter-terrorism agents still hamstrung by data-sharing failures

US Counter Terrorism CenterCounter-terrorism analysts still lack the data-search tools that might have kept a bomb-wearing Al Qaeda operative from boarding a Detroit-bound airliner nine months ago, and probably won't have them any time soon, U.S. officials acknowledge.
