Officials Say Air Marshals Did Right Thing

It's absolutely tragic that the Air Marshalls had to shoot this guy. But you know what, they did the right thing under the circumstances and I only hope that the news media doesn't do it's typical frothing at the mouth attack on them. The two FAMs involved are going to have to live with their actions for the rest of their lives and they don't need the bullshit from the media.

I can also only hope that this incident does not change their ROE - they NEED to be on a hair trigger. I've got some good friends who are FAMs and they are the kind of people that would trust at my back.

They've got a sucky job defending a largely ungrateful flying public and I commend them for it.
