...communication between the two agencies. "Investigations are being compromised by the TSA notifying people we don't want to know we're pursuing," says an FBI agent. But the FBI can't always blame the TSA. FBI agents were tracking Umer and Hamid Hayat, the father and son from Lodi, Calif., who were arrested June 5 on suspicion of being linked to al-Qaeda. (They have pleaded not guilty.) Hamid was also on the TSA's no-fly list and could not return to the U.S., where the FBI was waiting to question him. But it turned out that...

Those that remain stand not in open countryside, but atop roundabouts or tucked in beside the high-rises and flyovers of South Delhi.

Valeta Young, 81, a retiree from Lodi, Calif., suffers from congestive heart failure and requires almost constant monitoring. But she doesn't have to drive anywhere to get it. Twice a day she steps onto a special electronic scale, answers a few yes or no questions via push buttons on a small attached monitor and presses a button that sends the information to a nurse's station in San Antonio, Texas.
