Hot Air » Blog Archive » Flight 327 revisited: Based on report, some air marshals suspect dry run:

"Portions of the report remain redacted. However, air marshals and former
air marshals who reviewed it when provided a copy by The Times say the
activities of the men confirmed by the inspector general details a dry run for a
terrorist attack.“This report is evidence of Homeland Security executives
attempting to downplay and cover-up an unmistakable dry-run that forced flight
attendants to reveal the air marshals and compel the pilots to open the flight
deck door,” said Robert MacLean, a former air marshal who was fired last year
for revealing the service planned to cut back on protection for long-distance
flights to save money."


This is an alarming story. I just read the post over and it sounds like things aren't going as planned with the new Homeland Security Department. If I understood right, it was set up to help the different enforcement and protection agencies to work together. If you read this story, it sounds like that is not happening.
