Based on domain name contained within the posted URL, the handle of the OP and the signature line, "Promote confidence in our Nations civil aviation system through the effective deployment of Federal Air Marshals." I'd say many of us would likely not agree with the agenda promoted by whatever we were supposed to see. My confidence level of the security of the US aviation system, particularly how it relates to the FAM program, has nowhere to go but up. I don't feel that deployment of FAMs is worth the fuel used to transport them.

The point? Everyone who clicks on the OP's link gets placed on a special list for trying to enter the sky marshals' secure mail site.

Appears to be a cbs4.com story from Dayton that the OP found on their internal site.

OP: Could you be so kind as to give us the password?

The OP was trying to point to this:

That story's gotta be fake. There were FAMs sitting in coach on those simulations.

Actually, with that link posted like that, it could be a security breach. After all, it is Microsoft and Exchange and Outlook are pretty exploitable.

Leave to a unit of TSA to keep things secure.

Read the webpage carefully...it says "No Unauthorized Access Allowed!"

That'll keep 'em pesky t'rerists away

I fixed it. The correct site is above or just click it here:


http://cbs4.com/local/local_story_254154148.html


And we sit all over the plane. I was in row 38 going over seas last month. You guys have no idea what you are talking about. I sit is coach a lot and it sucks but it is the job. I know a lot of your hate us but it is just a job. I am no secret agent but it is my job. There are lots of govt jobs that are a waist of money but this one is mine. I dont bash any other jobs so please do not bash mine.

People usually working in public safety profession usually don't say that their job is "just a job". I've never met a firefighter who said that what they do is "just a job".

There are lots of govt jobs that are a waist of money but this one is mine.
So are you also saying you think that the FAM program is a waste of government money too?

So we shouldn't complain while you admit to wasting our tax dollars?
