Paul is plainly wrong here. 9-11 would have been prevented had we had the current Air Marshall system in place that day. The Air Marshall system works and I've had drinks with a couple of them after long flights. What you do not want are armed guards trained by Delta on flights. Delta doesn't understand security and can't be expected to learn it overnight. Worse then that who pays for all of that? Us, every time we buy an airline ticket.
No the Air Marshall system works, it's just a little too late.
And While I'm at it, Paul wants us to leave Iraq. Irans PM has already went on the record saying the moment we leave they will "fill the void", Iran is already the world's leader in state sponsored terrorism, and paul would give them twice the real estate to do it with.
Worse then that, after leaving Iraq to the Ietola (sorry speel check has nothing for me there), he wants to fire off the FBI and the CIA. How is all of this not a recipe for the second 911? Honestly, does he think they'll just leave us be?
