Subject: RE: BS: Fly safe with the air marshalls
WTF is an acronym for "what the hell??"

I don't have any answers, either Mick. I feel sorry as hell for that guy in the Hawaiian shirt if he breached protocol by jumping out of his seat. I feel sorry for him even if everything he did was correct. And I appreciate his work.

But the powers that be instantly told us that two marshalls intercepted a guy screaming "I have a bomb" as he was running into a crowded terminal, which gained our sympathies for a sad situation. I'll be impressed, and maybe a little surprised, if it turns out they were telling the whole truth, instead of just shooting first with their mouths.

When the five city cops plugged the drunk homeless guy in our town, for swinging a stick, the authorities told us that protocols were followed then, too. For a while.
