Air Marshall's

Found this story on Mike Boyd's site. You just have to laugh.

Yessir... That Air Marshall Program's Working Just Fine

From the Associated Press...

CHICAGO -- A U.S. air marshal removed himself from a Southwest Airlines flight Thursday after dropping a clip of bullets on the floor just before the plane was to take off, an airline spokeswoman said..."Since he was no longer traveling incognito, he decided not to continue on the flight, ... He picked the bullets up immediately."

Nice the guy stayed to pick up his bullets.

The only thing "incognito" about the TSA and Homeland Security is competence.

Now that cracked up haha. I still would have boarded though.

People would know not to try anything, but thats just me.

That is true, but they would also know who to kill first.

eh, I think this isn't that big of a deal. Sure he sacrificed his cover, but security is better than no security. Terrorists could have tried to kill him first, but he'd probably have a fighting chance, which is better than having NO ONE that can fight back.
