With all the airlines and law enforcement agencies

Hi

A CIA agent went to the train station with a picture of a suspect in hand hoping he would come across someone who had seen him.

Normally he would've flooded the area with the images of the guy (suspect), putting them on the metro database, with all the airlines and law enforcement agencies, but he couldn't do that here. If the FBI recognized the bushy-bearded man as one they'd allowed to slip through their fingers, they would wonder about CIA's interest in him.

I understand that normally he would put the man's picture in the metro database, but I'm not sure I understand what follows. I understand all these words, but somehow don't get what the writer was trying to say?

Maybe it means he would put his picture not only in the metro database, but also in the database of all the airlines and law enforcement agencies? Makes sense?
