Current Events > Why can't we just have air marshals on every flight?

(+) Yeah! (+)

TSA is a joke anyways, so just move all that money over to stocking planes with marshals.

Because T.J. Maxx is better.

it would be a lot more expensive

The official number is classified but long story short there aren't enough of them. They usually work in teams of two.

Have cockpit inaccessible from the cabin and arm flight attendants

Because then they'll shoot at the first provocation and cause everyone to be sucked out of the plane

Only 5% of flights right? Sadly small number.

they've done this since 9/11. the door is locked before takeoff and stays that way the entire time in the air

I thought they did? Have I been wrong this entire time

They're usually assigned to flights with people on a watch list - no flys can't fly period - or an associate or family member of these people. Certain 'hot routes' (L.A., NYC, DC, London, Tokyo, etc.) will have a team randomly assigned. That algorithm is classified.

ive seen the cockpit door open in like half of the flights Ive been on since 9/11. If someone in the cock pit needs to use the restroom, they have a flight attendant stand in front of hallway into the first class restroom. The person needing to use the restroom does so, they knock on cabin, get let back in, flight attendant leaves hallway.
