Probe finds air marshals at risk
A two-year investigation found that Federal Air Marshal Service
policies undermine marshals' anonymity, and it indicates terror groups
have done reconnaissance of in-flight security, says a congressional
report obtained by The Washington Times.

A rather bizarre article. For example, it reports this:

"The report does not mention other similar incidents or the highly
publicized Northwest Flight 327 incident in 2004 when 14 Syrians, who said
they were musicians, frightened the passengers and crew with behavior later
described by numerous marshals and airline pilots as a probe or trial run.'

In fact, the 14 Syrians WERE musicians, and it was determined beyond doubt
that it was NOT a probe or trial run but, rather, an hysterical reporter who
did not realize what she was witnessing on board but, nonetheless, wrote a
ridiculous article on the incident.
