You know what annoys me about the Sky Marshall plan? Trust them to turn the program into this wierd FBI structured ordeal... Hell, we've got scads of time and money--let's just reinvent the friggin wheel while we're at it...
We have battle trained, equipped servicemen and women (both active duty and guard) that are sitting on base out of rotation (as in, not currently deployed) that are
already being paid--stick them on a flight! We'll suit them up in formal dress (might as well take advantage of the good
pr) and a knife big enough to hack through a steer's neck and let 'em ride...
The worst that can happen is that they'll be called up, in which case--they'd just end up moving through the system until they can rendezvous with their unit. What is so complicated about this? Do these people need a schematic, or what?!
