re: #18 darthstar

From Harper’s Index this month:
Average number of arrests made each year since 2001 by all 4,000 Federal Air Marshalls combined: 4
Federal spending this represents per arrest: $200,000,000

200 million dollars per arrest. That’s not much money…

Compared to what? The amount it would cost if an Islamofascist slipped through the net and did his splodey-dopey thing?
