Air marshals’ only tactical advantage on a flight is their anonymity

I was under the impression that their main tactical advantage is their firearms.

Well, sometimes they leave their firearms in the airport bathroom.

I was under the impression that Air Marshals were supposed to make the flying public "feel good" that something was being done.

We're at war. Banning any and all Arabs from flights would be a casualty of war. Too bad for the world segment hobbled by strategies used to keep the majority safer. Sometimes, life is unfair.
