Oh yes McCarran has air marshals prowling around--I've "met" them.
Ok so wait a sec here... 3 observers per one suspected individual?? So if there are 4 individuals on a flight, thats 12 people that are taking up space for no fricking reason?? NO WONDER PEOPLE KEEP GETTING BUMPED BECAUSE THE FLIGHT WAS "OVERBOOKED"... Can we please get these isiots off the plane? I need my cigar and scotch after this idiocy!

Air Marshals: a business jacket, 2 aisle seats, last row of first class, no alcohol, and two more opportunities to upgrade to First Class blocked on this flight. Sweet!
What about excessive farting? Will that draw scrutiny from our wonderful government handlers?
Good,pc should always a low secondary consideration,when compared to a well run security program to prevent senseless tragedy.
People complain when a plane is hijacked or blown up, saying the government should have prevented it. People complain when the government attempts to do something proactive to prevent hijacks and blow-ups. Dam if you do, Dam if you don't. People just complain about everything. How about offering an alternative? How would you prevent these? Personally, if TSA wants to follow me around, I'm fine with that, I have nothing to hide. That's better than getting hijacked or blown up.
As it has always been and will only get worse is the dystopian changes in society as new technologies arrive. Problem is the access by unauthorized individuals doing what hell want and lie to us. Nixon and Johnson were like that to get reelected. I want safety too. An alternative suggestion is the government should be upfront about what they are doing in general(Obviously not talking about covert operations). If we continue this mass shotgun spying on the public without notice things will continue to get worse. Look how China is now monitoring in western China, all "in the interest your safety". those clowns may use it for wanted individuals, when in fact they are using to find what they consider to be political activities. How can you trust these guys? Some of them you can't trust.
PS. Sorry forgot. Stop using safety as an excuse when no real justification can be found.
