...we don't have enough money for air marshals on our highest risk cross-country and international flights:

Air marshals pulled from key flights

Move seen as bid to cut costs comes amid new hijack warnings

WASHINGTON, July 29 — Despite renewed warnings about possible airline hijackings, the Transportation Security Administration has alerted federal air marshals that as of Friday they will no longer be covering cross-country or international flights, MSNBC.com has learned. The decision to drop coverage on flights that many experts consider to be at the highest risk of attack apparently stems from a policy decision to rework schedules so that air marshals don’t have to incur the expense of staying overnight in hotels.

This bit of nonsense brought to you by our incompent Bush administration who would rather topple two-bit dictators running other countries than secure our own safety and homeland security. Meanwhile, North Korea and Iran continue to develop nuclear weapons that Saddam Hussein was completely incapable of doing. Do you feel safer now?
