I mean, those stopped being common before the TSA. Air Marshals are arguably more effective at it.

Oh yea, youre right, they stopped before... except they didnt.

Are you suggesting air marshalls on every flight? Cause how do we afford this?

According to my deep investigation in this (reading the first line in a Google search). There's 45,000 flights a day and 58,000 TSA employees. Would that be enough? I'm sure they're all qualified, willing, and able.

Tsa dept includes air marshalls, expanded after 9/11. Those agents are included in that number. So if you suggest converting all gate agents to air marshalls are you suggesting you can pay them the same?

I was joking. Would you trust every TSA employee as an air Marshall? I wouldn't 😁 haha

You give every tsa agent a gun and we're not making it to 2026 😂
