'She made a mistake becauseshe wasn't given the appropriate toolsto succeed,' an anonymous former air marshal told CNN, citing lack of on-the-job training.
John Casaretti, president of the Air Marshal Association and a former air marshal, told CNN that TSA needs to improve its training for newly-hired air marshals.
'These rare incidents must be thoroughly investigated and local managers should take appropriate corrective action,' said Casaretti. 'A field training officer program and thorough mentorship of new officers can reduce similar performance issues.'
Would a gun that can't be removed from its holster have been more appropriate?
"Wasn't given the tools to succeed"? WTF does that mean? She wasn't given the brains a twelve year old would use if carrying a firearm anywhere?
ANYONE carrying a firearm should be assumed to have the "tools" from an early age to know not to leave the thing laying around loose in a public place.
Cripes ahmighty; is "tools" the new buzzword for common sense?
Maybe asking new TSA hires if crossing a four lane highway at other than a light controlled intersection is a good idea or other questions of that nature might weed out those lacking in the common sense department BEFORE they are issued firearms to carry on public airplanes.
