litheraI have a question for all fo you.
We used to have people called "sky marshals" on planes before we installed metal detectors and such in airports. They were armed US Marshals who rode on airplanes to make things safer and to make people feel secure.
I've heard rumors of them thinking to re-institute them.
What do you think - good idea, bad idea and why?
