AndyMan 7 #26 February 10, 2002 QuoteThe Feds need to work out an agreement with forgien goverments to allow armed Air Marshals onto forgien turf for escourt duty on any inbound or outbound US flight (hopefully they would be well trained in both non-lethal and lethal use of force). Pilots shouldn't have to worry about anything other than flying the plane, while arming them with a zapper, pepper spray, axe handle, lessons on how to drop an atomic elbow from the 3rd rope are great as last resort means of self defense, they are just that - last resort - that guy shouldn't have made it past the first kick to the door. Either federal air marshals or RCMP cops are on flights to Canada at the same ratio as in the US. RCMP or Fed's are on all flights into Dulles.._Am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
