[FedCom] Air Marshals Communications & Procedures

on a side note: two separate news reports I heard (CNN & NBC) said they travel at least in pairs and that there are only 90 of them.  

so that means, roughly,  no more than 150 of the thousands of US flights daily are ever covered.

and folks are worried about cargo.....
