Goods guys finidng it harder to catch a flight

I don't know about these guys but I would be pissed. I found a rather interesting article form Security Management which talks about a major problem with the "Don't Fly List" - some US Air Marshals are on it. I'm sorry, but this just goes to show how such lists can be truly ineffective on a lot of different fronts. If you're trying to make people feel safer with such a list, then when mistakes like this happen, they can't help but feel the direct opposite. If you can't get the good guys on the plane, then who's on the plane to fight off the bad guys. I know passengers are much more ready to be heroes now, but the hijackers prepared themselves for what would happen should the passengers have fought back. we know those contingencies worked in two out of three scenarios. Well, airline pilots have shown their ability to safely handle firearms aboard aircraft. The Security Management article can be found here.
