What’s the Deal With Air Marshals?
Think there’s an air marshal on every flight? Not quite. While the exact number of air marshals isn’t public information, CNN reported that the number of air marshals was being cut by around 3,500 back in 2014.
Still, you never know when you might be sitting next to one on your flight. Air marshals wear “normal” clothing, but are armed on flights, as their presence is to protect against a terrorist attack.
