Air Marshals and the Bush Jr. police state

I agree with Peenie Wallie. He says:

For all the mental dwarfs that are claiming this poor victim said he had a bomb and reached into his bag, I'd like to point out that you have no idea what he said and whether or not he reached into a bag. You're taking the Air Marshall's word for it, and taking it on faith at that. This situation calls for a thorough investigation, otherwise you're going to have people on planes that can shoot to kill with impunity. Finally, if you people are all so deathly afraid of bombs, why do you possibly allow yourselves to go onto subways, buses, and into grocery stores without a securocrat sanctioned to murder without retribution at your side? Why limit your safety zone to the time you're on a plane or in the airport? Why not demand that Air Marshalls protect you around the clock?

I'd also like to point out that, given how much security you have to get through to get onto a plane, an airplane is the one place where you should always assume that a guy who screams "I have a bomb" is just a crazy guy and not a real bomber.
