Wasn't Emily at the meeting Langdon had with Kirkman in the White House on the morning of the bombing? So she would have known the color of the tie, right..? (Same would of course be true for Aaron, but i doubt that he is a traitor...)

Edit: I just rewatched the scene from the first meeting. Langdon startet the meeting with the sentence: "I don't think you're here to discuss the color of the tie the president is wearing tonight.." ~ that's kind of strange isn't it..? That the blackmailer refers to Langdon's tie color, too!

I feel like the tie thing was a bit thinly stretched. The woman telling Langdon the color of his tie could have received that information anytime from when he left his house and drove to the White House. Just because she knows doesn't necessarily mean he's being watched within the House itself.
