I should have added, the Dept of Homeland security has the intelligence of a frog. I would not depend on them to keep me safe or intercept Islamic Jihad attacks. They are very good at hassling tourists and regular people. So far, the Air Marshals have succeeded in shooting and killing a panicking person scared of flying who wanted to get off the aircraft via the air-bridge. No doubt they have done a lot of other dopey things and not done much to make flying safer or less unpleasant. The British succeeded in shooting, many times, a Brazilian electrician on the underground. Sitting around bored all day, the air marshals will start to come up with "mission creep" which will NOT be passenger-friendly. If they were to help with serving tea, that might be good, but they won't. When undercover aviation security people are looking over crowds for dangerous people, they find each other. Which is not surprising, as they are dangerous. When I look around airports, and crowds in general, it's pretty obvious that there are very very few potential terrorists. Mqurice
