Unless developers can overcome this looming threat, the… Full Story »

  7. Air marshal report paints unflattering picture

    CNN.com Travel &bull Feb 3, 2012

    Washington (CNN) -- A long-awaited report on alleged misconduct within the Federal Air Marshal Service concludes that while supervisors do not engage in "widespread" discrimination and retaliation against rank-and-file air marshals, the agency is far from trouble-free. The report, from Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General and obtained by CNN, paints an unflattering picture of the agency, saying air marshals share the widespread "perception" that they are being mistreated, and adding that investigators "heard too many negative and conflicting accounts" of misconduct to dismiss… Full Story »
