No offense, but how are sky marshalls bad for you?
At the risk of becoming repetitive I'll mention it again... there is nothing wrong with properly trained sky marshals as long as they are part of a 'complete' security package and over here nothing has been made clear to us that that is the case. The government have made an pronouncement without any thought about those of us who have to work with these guys.

You may have worked with them for two years and you may have been briefed before they were implemented but over here that is not the case. I have also worked with sky marshalls but what I know about that I'm not at liberty to divulge here suffice it to say that without some form of pax profiling they are not an effective deterrent. Because we were told that they would only be deployed on flights which were known to under threat how do you think we feel about it?
