When my husband and I lived in the middle east we flew Syrian Air from Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, to New York a couple of times. My husband spotted TWO Syrian men who, he said, HAD to be armed security guys.

They were in the mid-late 30's, sitting on aisle seats, looking around a lot and each had a bulge in the upper left suit pocket. Tough looking monkeys and we felt safe on that flight.

Yep, I think having them rather obvious, and ominous, is the way to go.

Screw confiscating the shampoo and frisking wheelchair bound old ladies and handicapped kids.
