TSA: Yes, 36 Screeners Have Become Air Marshals

Annie Jacobsen writes on Aviation Nation:

Yes, Virginia, the TSA is now making screeners air marshals. Chris Strohm, reporting for Government Executive, reveals the official number. "According to TSA, 36 screeners, have become air marshals."

Strohm also cites a quote from Kip Hawley to members of Congress that is appalling. Even Hawley can't wrap his brain around a Screener becoming an air marshal. Note how he calls the new air marshal a TSO.
