My point. Our marshalls are tough. They could take down terrorists with box cutters with their bare hands too. Keep marshalls on flights, let them carry guns too. but, BUT, ensure that they are to be used only in the last case scenario.

So that's why it'd be better to have Marshalls instead of just farming out guns to pilots.

LOL!

Are these the same bozos that staged a "sick out" shortly after 9/11 because they got tired of working so much?

The same bunch that had the standards lowered significantly (including the marksmanship test) so that the feds could meet their recruitment numbers?

Or the same "tough bunch" that accidently left their guns in the airplane bathroom on at least two occassions?

How about the AM who had a negligent discharge in a hotel room while between flights?

One Air Marshall was so dang tough he even flunked the psych exam to become a Philadelphia police office. This particular Air Marshall would later become famous for "hijacking" a plane because a passenger smarted off to a stewardess. He forced the passengers to keep their hands above their heads, and harassed one passenger of Indian descent who was a retired US Army officer.

Yeah, I feel great knowing these "tough guys" are on planes.

BTW, what percentage of flights do you think they are on?
