That link has a discussion about flights to Gitmo. Looks like there is a recent increase in flights headed that way.

Yesterday a Boeing 737. That would hold a lot of perps!

What do you think the ratio is of perps to guards? How many could you put on a plane that size?

Is there a flightaware screenshot showing the comings and goings at Gitmo?

White collar swampies won’t need guards: they’ll be flanked by minimum two lawyers each in the aisles. Maybe they’re going down like a college frosh to check out their new digs for the tribunals and get pre-checked in, and sent back with an Ikea catalog for feathering their new nest once the indictments are made public and they have to fly back.

Fun dream.

I would be surprised its a full boat. The US Marshall JPAT's program, I believe its around 1 marshall for every 10 prisioners. Obviously these are high valued prisoners so ratio might be different.

Depending upon the model of B737. Probably older model -300/ or -400 looking around 150 seats depending upon configuration.

If its an American citizen on those planes, that might be problamatic for me without proper explanation. Treason is probably the only explanation I might accept. If its alien MS13 members, ISIS/MB ok. I support that. Is Obama an American citizen?

I’m thinking at least a 100 people. Just a guess.

Interesting ... I'm picturing ConAir ;)

Answers says this about 737 planes:

“There are 11 different 737 models. The 737-900 which is the largest can carry up to 189 passengers. The airline operating the airplane decides how many seats to put in it. Most have fewer seats than they can cram in.”
