If you think security lines are long now, imagine a scenario when they need to see every person’s ammo to make sure it’s not the sort to cause cabin depressurization when someone misses a couple of shots.
I was being sarcastic. Lol arming every passenger is a crazy idea. It amuses me that somebody actually went through the thought process of how it would actually work.
Just make sure everybody on the plane has a gun. If the shooting starts the good guy with a gun can open his clip. Problem solved.
Uh, nope. I am pro-2A, but having people armed on aircraft is a bad idea. I for one don't want to be in an aluminum can at 30,000 feet during a gunfight. Can you imagine all the yahoos shooting in every direction as the plane loses pressure and starts to fall out of the sky? Hard no for me.
Air Marshals being diverted to the Border? I thought these "migrants" were Walking 1000 miles over dead bodies to get across the Border? What is an AIR Marshal going to do? .
....cooking classes
Biden would rather choke on his own vomit than admit we need a wall
what these """"migrats"""" are costing us....we could have built a million walls

Many people feel the same way about being in public.

And you are being overly stingy. The article seemed to say that the percentage of air marshals on domestic flights is greater than on international flights.

Based on all the stories that seem to have made the news in the last year none of them were resolved with an Air Marshall , all the culprits seem to be subdued by passengers and crew.
That they're saying anyway. Has the government had a track record of crowing about air marshals every single time an air marshal handled a problem on a flight? It doesn't seem so.

I don't think anything will stop drunk idiots and those with an inflated sense of entitlement but vigilance by the TSA in screening will go a lot farther in ensuring safety for all the flights.
The drunk idiots, probably not. Those who go in intending to do harm maybe. If a fox knows, or has a strong reason to believe, there is no guard dog in the hen house then they might hit it.
Imo, the TSA agents who scan passengers in the airports are the first line of defense, the air marshals on the planes are the second line of defense. As was mentioned in one of the links, Biden* could hire average citizens to do what he's having the air marshals now doing. Are you okay with Biden having the air marshals hold illegals hands at the southern border instead of being the second line of defense on flights and instead of hiring average citizens to hold the illegals hands?

Lol, yep. Seriously though, at over $100 billion a year of taxpayer funds going for the care of illegals, and probably much more under Biden*, it would likely be at least 20 well-built walls, well-staffed and with every electronic gizmo under the sun.
Biden* is removing the air marshals from flights and sending them to the southern border to babysit illegals.

"We have been decimated. We have been depleted. We're on less than 1% of flights. These ground-based duties that they're pulling us out of the sky to go to the border are just demolishing our chances at stopping another 9/11."
Labosco said Americans will suffer because many believe they're safe in the presence of a trained air marshal, but "they're just simply not."
"We actually wrote him another letter over the weekend because we had a level four and a level three incident. Level four means that they tried to breach the cockpit. Level three, we had two of those, which means there were life-threatening behaviors on one of those aircraft. An individual had a straight razor to a passenger's throat. So these are very serious incidents."
Okay, Geraldo. Why don't you draw a map in the sand to show the enemy exactly where we are.
WHY would they talk about this to the media? WHY would the media report this? Are they hoping something happens? Government feels it doesn't have enough power? Needs to start something so they can assert more over the people when something happens?
What, exactly, is the point of blurting this out to the entire world?
If you want to keep a country safe, you don't blabber on about how some steps in security are lacking.

It was all supposed to be a secret?
Our enemies don't have moles and they all completely rely on our media for intel?

I haven't commented on what their doing other than to say Federal Marshall Training is just that regardless of placement.
The article is based on a program director of an organization with 7 employees, like a lobby group, not a union, not a government agency. To push an agenda and then go on the social media circuit while waiting for a response does nothing to reinforce their position.
Air Marshals still exist as they have since the 1960's, when and where they are we'll never know but having a manning level to cover most flights will probally never happen in my lifetime or yours. As for the allegations of their current roles there's no proof other than hearsay from a poster.
