    service clerk, MANUAL SUVA, and RICK SORBELLO. BENNETTs crew'sjob is to load baggage.BENNETTs crew worked flight 198 as the first thingthat shift, unloading that flight's baggage, and loading thebaggage for flight 11. The next plane the crew worked afterflight 11 was flight 156 for London. A seperate cabin servicecrew works on the passenger compartment, and checks for trash,objects, and people remaining on the plane. The makeup of a

    cabin service crew is kept to the same four or five guys, butcrews might rotate so that one might no t find the same crewservicing the same flight every day. Crews usually do not havemuch mixing or transfer of people. People bid by senority forwhich crew they want, usually to work for a favored supervisor.On September 11there were no new faces, and no employees weremissing.Catering does a seperate sweep to clean and prepare theplane. The catering service is SKY CHEF. SKY CHEF's morningshift is their premium or senior shift. Everyone on this shifthas a year or more in service. They take out the old foodstuffs,and replace it.Baggage is handled by the baggage room, which foraircraft of flight 11's design, loads baggage onto hardbody LD8

    containers. The containers are then placed on the plane. Lastminute passenger's bags or oversize bags are put in the plane'sbaggage compartment last, without being put into an LD8.,pontaine,r-->,l^aiLLs

    the passenger compartment to the baggage compartment via a trapdoor near the cockpit. The door is under the rug.MISURACA has never observed a crew member pass luggageto a passenger, and there is absolutely no access between thepassengers and their checked baggage.It would be difficult for a stowaway to make it onboard flight 11. Particularly because it was a "turn-around"flight, going directly on another trip after landing in Boston.A stowaway on this flight would really need assistance from aplane service crew member. It would be easier, but stilldifficult to stowaway on a plane that sits overnight. MISURACAnotes that he is more familiar with the baggage elements of planeservicing, than with the passenger compartment details.MISURACA is also a ground security coordinator. Assuch, he has tested the security and found frequent failings.Security is not doing a good enough job.

She advised she searchedthe USAIR ump seat paperwork to see who had gone through for June2001, July 2001, and August 2001, but was unable to find ATTA'sname. She advised the jump seat forms are only kept for 90 days.She became more concerned about this when she heard on the newsthat some American Airlines uniforms were stolen in Italy.GRANEY was then requested to review a photograph arraycontaining twelve pictures of twelve of the alleged hijackers.GRANEY identified the picture of MOHAMED ATTA as the person sheremembered seeing prior to September 11, 2001 attempting to jumpseat a USAIR flight.

Shesaid that it was unusualbecause if he was so familiar with that particular flight then heshould have flown Southwest Airlines before and realized that theyhad open seating at boarding and that he could not be assigned afront row seat; further, Flight 886 always arrives in Los Angelesat 10:50 p.m., and he had made it clear that it was imperative thathe arrive in Los Angeles before 10:00 p.m. When she indicated thelate arrival tima to him, NARAYANAN ndicated that was okay, andthat he had to be on Flight 886.

    Immediately after NARAYANAN'S contact with VOGEL at theSouthwest Airlines counter, she observed him go over to the UnitedAirlines counter two times and make some sort of contact withUnited Airlines staff there.At about 3:30 to 4:00 p.m. on that same date (Saturday,09/22/2001), VOGEL went to go to lunch at the Portland Airport foodcourt at the Macheezmo Mouse on her break and she observed VINODNARAYANAN and the white male adult who was with him seated. Thewhite male adult was on a cell phone. NARAYANAN was writing in hisnotebook and he took VOGEL's name, and asked her about how manyrestrooms there were on the flight and if they were on front of theaircraft or on the back of the aircraft. She advised he also

    wanted to know how full the flight was and if it was going todepart on time. NARAYANAN also told VOGEL at that time that he hadbooked a flight on United Airlines; however, VOGEL went back to theSouthwest Airlines counter, checked the booking reservations, anddiscovered that NARAYANAN had made a reservation at 2:14 p.m. withSouthwest Airlines.Additipnally, on Sunday, 09/23/2001, about two hoursbefore the 7:25 p.m. departure of Flight 886, NARAYANAN hadcanceled his reservation and transferred it to Monday, 09/24/2001.At the time of the interview on 09/24/2001, NARAYANAN had neveractually purchased a ticket and had no-showed for that reservation.Besides the name VINOD NARAYANAN, the only additionalinformation included in the reservation information was that the 9/11individual had provided his home telephone number as I I PersonalVOGEL described NARAYANAN as a very dark complected PrivacyMiddle-Eastern male; in his late 40s; approximately 57" to 5'8";140 to 150 pounds; clean-shaven; no glasses; dressed nice in a
