                Federal Air Marshal (FAM) Program

                The FAM program provides an anti-hijacking capability for U.S. civil
                aviation. The program provides a covert, armed security force capable of
                conducting anti-hijacking operations and of deploying rapidly. FAMs are
                specially trained Special Agents who travel on U.S. air carriers along
                routes and into areas where worldwide terrorist activities indicate the
                highest probability of hijacking. FAMs are authorized to carry firearms and,
                if they reasonably believe a person has or is committing a felony, they can
                make arrests without warrant for any offense against the U.S. 

                The FAM program serves as a deterrent to hijacking and other forms of
                terrorist activity aboard inflight aircraft. It is authorized by the Federal
                Aviation Act of 1958, the Anti-Hijacking Act of 1947, and the International
                Security and Development Cooperation Act of 1985. Order 1650.6,
                Federal Air Marshal Program, governs the FAM program.

FAMs are specially trained Special Agents who travel on U.S. air carriers along routes and into areas where worldwide terrorist activities indicate the highest probability of hijacking. And? Were these routes indentified as such?

Yeah, you're absolutely right, Rivero. Everyone knows the Boston to L.A. route is just crawling with hijackers. /sarcarm.

Take your idiocy somewhere else. If you want to be an analyst so bad, join the C.I.A. Otherwise, you're just wasting our time.

Again, the program was cancelled years ago!
