3,200 federal jobs!

President Barack Obama has ordered a "surge" of federal air marshals to be in place by Feb.1 in what officials said was a "race against time,"

So, what does a federal air marshall do when the bomb goes off? He dies with the rest of the passengers and crew.

What is he "preventing"?

These f'ing bastard traitor liars demand action (President Barack Obama has ordered a "surge" of federal air marshals to be in place by Feb.1 in what officials said was a "race against time,") while simultaneously having it both ways (1 - with other suicide bombers believed to be in the terrorist pipeline) and (2 - although there is no specific imminent threat, federal officials told ABC News.) You "officials" SUCK! You are worthless pieces of dogsh*t on a stick and are lower than any jihadi - ever. OBL is a thousand thousand times more honest than you.

FY! FY!! FY!!!

Maybe the extra air marshalls are for another purpose? Didn’t O say he wanted his own army?
Could this just be an excuse (crisis)?

Think about what these two fighter jets going after a airliner represent. They intend to shoot down an airliner filled with our mothers, our babies, our uncles, our people instead of having Air Marshals on board to to the job. The cabin crew could also be armed. This is not the outrageous decision making we want in this country.

That is the most ironic photo I’ve ever seen.

What more needs to be said about our upside down country?

[Travis McGee]

It’s probably a damn good thing there wasn’t an air marshall on that flight in Detroit. Some of those guys are real cowboys and that Danish passenger might have been shot for leaping over several rows of seats to get to the bloomer bomber.

Outstanding point!

Shhhh...don’t ask questions.

Reality has not and never will, impress liberals. Treat symptoms while the patient dies.

[FreedomPoster]

Oh, yeah, there you go, asking tough questions again.

It is important to be seen DOING SOMETHING!, even if counterproductive.

Results don’t count. Just look at Obama’s entire history. Other than getting himself elected, he has none.

“How exactly will an air marshal in row 25 prevent a terrorist in row 8 from blowing up himself and the plane?”

EXACTLY...

Not to mention the highly motivated death ghoul that has now learned to pack his rectum with x number of ounces of high explosives and is busily extracting and assembling the deadly compounds in the latrine, where he will then, unencumbered, initiate detonation, all the while an alert air marshal scans the first class section of the flight, in between consumption of the most scrumptious cuisine and the quaffing of fine wines.

Robert Crandell former head of American said the same thing on Fox News yesterday. He said he couldn’t beleiive how the current admin was so lax on security and watching the list.
