Wrong, there is no federal clearance of outbound passengers. TSA performs all security checks at airports. CBP sometimes spot checks outbound passengers for export violations or immigration checks, but asside from receiving the passenger manifest, there are no checks. Only in special cases does CBP check the manifest, as in the case of the search for the Times Square Bomber.

It appears the problems with the luggage on a flight without a passenger, a TSA concern, were because of missed flights.

What this reveals is that ICE is not looking for illegal aliens in the U.S. and that CBP does not inspect all departing international passengers.
