On the same day that "the Department of Homeland Security is warning that Islamic extremists might be plotting suicide airliner hijackings to be carried out before the end of the summer", the "Transportation Security Administration has alerted federal air marshals that as of Friday they will no longer be covering cross-country or international flights". Of course, what flights are most likely to be hijacked? They wouldn't be cross-country or international flights, would they?
The best part is that the air marshal policy is apparently the result of a "decision to rework schedules so that air marshals don’t have to incur the expense of staying overnight in hotels."
How.. reassuring.
