I Don't Feel Any Safer

Read this story about Federal Air Marshals and see if you feel any safer while flying on a commercial airliner:

“WASHINGTON — An air marshal who was grounded after criticizing the Federal Air Marshal Service over security issues was told last week to come back to work, a day after he and the ACLU filed a lawsuit that threatened to call wider attention to his complaints.Frank Terreri contends a dress code requiring many agents to wear coats and ties makes them easy to spot in the mass of casually dressed passengers and undermines the marshals' ability to protect passengers….

The marshals also have complained that policies on boarding and hotel check-ins make them unnecessarily conspicuous. At airports, marshals often must go through the exit gates to bypass security checkpoints, in full view of other passengers. Some field offices require marshals to stay at specified hotels and ask for special discounts, which requires them to identify themselves to clerks.”

Let’s see if we have this straight…Eleven million illegal aliens have been allowed to stream across our borders and, in addition to strip searching your grandma at the airport check in, the authorities are forcing the Air Marshals to act in a manner such that they stick out in public like a sore thumb.

Only the idiot bureaucrats running our imperial federal government could come up with such an inane set of procedures.
