A Question?

If the air marshals are "all stretched so painfully thin", aren't we going to have more situations like we did in Florida where a mentally ill man makes them nervous and they end up emptying guns into him?

Before someone tells me the air marshals were correct, not a SINGLE person on the plane within earshot of the incident says they heard ANY mention of the word "bomb" that the air marshals insisted the man said repeatedly. The media dropped the story about the time no witnesses confirmed the air marshal account.

My second question is, "Why the fuck would anybody fly?"

If I want a deep cavity search, pat down, lie detectors, handcuffs, intimidation, and to be treated like an idiot by someone who R one, I'd marry a Texas Republican. ;)
