What immediate action do they take with a phone? Were they also issued pens? Are these marshals trained and qualified to use phones and pens in case there is an offensive emergency?

I’m scared. What is this world coming to?

To be on the “safe side” they are not issued gum... the assumption being made that they can’t call and chew gum at the same time.

What in God’s name happened to Western Civilization since WWII? Many have turned into what we fought to the death against in the darkest hours. The type of idiocy from people is dwarfing Orwell and replicating Nazis, Soviets and East Germans. Meanwhile Islam is on the move and is not hindered by the death of the West.
