Could always contract it out. Point is, I'd like to see outside review and not TSA's say so.
The FAMS that I know don't think only they can save a plane. They do think they have better tools and training to do so than just about anyone else, which gives them an edge.
Fair enough, but I wouldn't say much of an edge.
That's when you'd want them.
That's also when they most likely wouldn't be there.
I've been in two gunfights and I'm still around. Where do you get these numbers?
Numbers came from a CT class I took while working for a gov't agency that specializes in CT. If you're in a close quarters gun fight, your chances of survival go way down.
Absolutely. But you can't just rely on prevention. You have to have a plan in case things do go too far. Layering is the key.
And unfortunately, TSA has shown us that they have no plans other than dumping a terminal and not evacuating planes that are suspected of having bombs on them.
