[FedCom] Air Marshals Communications & Procedures

[Ken]

Thanks!!!  Hmm, would be interesting if anyone saw what they were using.. 
I'm still voting for Nextels -- at least as backups.  They wouldn't want to 
have any sort of radio on them because folks could easily see this so it's 
got to be a cellphone or at least a look alike cellphone. Basically it 
appears that there's two Marshals on each plane OR does the threat level 
determine the staffing?

Also it would appear to me that someone would be monitoring Marshal's 
arrival/departure etc so they would know where they were at all times.
