FAMS are meant to stop terrorist or other potentially dangerous actions by passengers when they occur. But one of the key components of the program is the conceptual deterrence it is supposed to provide. The question is does it really work? It’s hard to say if it stops terrorists from trying to execute their plans. That’s because they don’t tell us. After 911 the Air Marshall Program was expanded, but that was going to take some time to hire and train the additional staff needed. To solve that problem during that time while they were ramping up their hiring and training, other agencies stent volunteers to act as Air Marshalls. We know they are out there, but how many flights are they on? For example, did you hear of air Marshalls intervening with Richard Reed the Shoe Bomber in December of 2001? Or how about Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab the underwear bomber in December of 2009? There are some that say it’s not a detergent due to the number of flights they are not on. Yet others say it is because they feel safer knowing one could be on their flight. Where do you stand on the subject? Support your answer.
