He said so many FAM were on standby for the VIP congressional program that now he and many of his colleagues are “sitting around the airport waiting for a mission.”

As a taxpayer, I'd prefer not to pay federal workers to sit around airports waiting for something to do. Fire them and let them go find useful work in private industry.

NOT the fault of the Air Marshal. They get assigned from above.

Make the congressturds fly coach like everyone else. Cheapest seat available, even if it’s the middle seat near the lavatory. And require they wear full business attire while doing so, since they’re on taxpayer business.

I’m thinking they should be building solar panels instead of bitching about wasting our tax money and getting caught.

I think the point is that they are needed for commercial flights, but paperwork in the government is slow.

They will get their orders.

“Cheapest seat available, even if it’s the middle seat near the lavatory. And require they wear full business attire while doing so, since they’re on taxpayer business.”

Several decades ago I ended up seated next to a Representative in the state legislature on a packed commuter flight. There were three men traveling with her who wanted to sit where I was, but I said no. I got to listen to their chatter for about 45 minutes. It was all about getting money, how to, where to stick in bills, how to move it from where it was stated to where they wanted it, etc. While nothing was illegal, it was an eye opening experience. No one was interested in whatever the legislation was supposed to accomplish, only what they could stuff into it for themselves.

This story reaks of being a mere cover story for something that corroborates what has and is really happening in DC since 1/20.

The Capital area had been surrounded by upwards of 30,000 troops of various flavors, fenced and barb wired. The city is a ghost town. Checking on ‘Richard Citizen Journalist’s daily youtube reports confirm most DC residents have left. Most federal gov buildings are unoccupied, or otherwise VERY minimally staffed.... since early 2020. The WH goes dark on a timer every single night since 1/20 at exactly 11 PM.

Just Sunday, news surfaced of the last remaining NG troops departing DC. Much (but not all) of the fencing has come down.

Think of these Air Marshals as another service, akin to the troops no longer needed.

The barbed wire was aiming in such a way as suggesting it was to keep folks IN rather than OUT.

Now the point: Much of congress has committed treason with the culmination of the 1/6 completion of The Steal and the 1/20 “oath”.

Any remaining congresscritter that needs to fly will, IMHO, likely have Secret Service or military escorts, and therefore FAM/Air Marshals not needed.

It's a start.

Yes, it's a start. Next is to have Maxine Waters pay the taxpayers back. These Air Marshals time and pension set-aside were incurred by her, not the flying public.

Isn’t that -itch Waters one of the democrats calling for defunding the police? Yet, she gets black privilege of extra protection from Air Marshals. What a hypocrite. The entire Congress is full of self important a-holes.

Why do we send them to DC to get corrupted? Why don't they stay in their districts? McCarthy would not be rooming with the Google corporate lobbyist if he resided at his district.

Yep, she supports protesters (rioters) against the police but wants their protection when she travels, she’s one of the biggest hypocrites in Congress.
