http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A64344-2003Jan1?language=printer Several articles have been posted from USA Today that have been extremely critical of the federal air marshals program. There's an article in today's Washington Post that seems more optimistic and seems to have more statistics in it, possibly due to more cooperation from the people in charge of the program. The article is clear that there have been problems, but it's a lot less sensational in tone. Nick
