re: #39 Rightwingconspirator

Good speech. I’m glad he stepped up to talk about this incident.
No reflection on Obama, but how is it we did not already have air marshals on the incoming flights to the us as he mentioned? Are they largely a myth to make us feel better? Been quite a few in flight incidents without one showing up. Seems they are rare on actual flights.

How much safety would even 10 armed air marshals provide against a threat like this? Once he has smuggled the bomb on board there is nothing to stop him except ineptitude or malfunction, both of which appeared to have averted an atrocity.
