Air Marshals not babysitters

 Biden’s master plan for the border is to take highly trained Air Marshals off of 99% of flights during the biggest air travel time of the year and put them on the border to take illegals to the hospitals, make them sandwiches, and act as babysitters.

But here’s the kicker:

“The rank and file air marshals are going to refuse to deploy and risk termination,” said David Londo, president of the Air Marshal National Council, in a phone call with the Washington Examiner on Tuesday. “You’re almost going to have a mutiny of a federal agency, which is unheard of.”

Just this week, air marshals pulled from planes and sent to the border were “heating up sandwiches,” driving immigrants in custody to the hospital and waiting inside for hours on hospital watch, and effectively babysitting adults who are already in confined spaces, Londo said.

“These highly skilled [air marshals] are being made to perform mainly non-law enforcement civilian humanitarian duties,” Londo wrote in the letter obtained first by the Washington Examiner.

The TSA is saying that this is not happening, but we all know that it is.  They are treating the Air Marshal Service like, dare I say it?, slave labor.  They are being expected to be away from their families for a month at a time and are doing tasks that are most definitely not connected to the safety of air travel.  Law enforcement does not include ferrying illegals around and making them turkey pot pies.

And considering the growing number of incidents on planes, public safety demands that they be doing their actual jobs–the ones they signed up and trained for. 



  1. I worked with a former USSS agent who left the agency when ordered to carry the First Kid's luggage. He stated you can either be a bodyguard or a bell hop but not both.He ended up working for a large financial institution in NYC, making 3X times the money.The current regime has no understanding or desire to learn anything about security or law enforcement, other than to use it as a political weapon.

  3. Honestly, air marshals are redundant. Give every flight attendant that wants one, a tazer and/or an extendable baton and/or a set of brass knucks. Then, as part of the pre flight spiel, or even printed on your boarding pass, simply let everyone know that there is a zero fuckery tolerance policy. Are there video recording devices in the passenger compartment? There ought to be, so any incident can be reviewed, in case of use of any of the above. Of course, 90% of the other passengers will be recording some drunk asshole getting 80k volts.
