US Air Marshals Seek A Way Out Of TSA - WP
DOW JONES NEWS
NEW YORK -- Members of the Federal Air Marshals service want to leave the
Transportation Security Administration in favor of the new Bureau of
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (BICE), The Washington Post reports in
its Thursday edition.
Although both agencies are arms of Homeland Security, the marshals think
they have more in common with the many law enforcement agents at BICE than
with the TSA's army of security workers who monitor X-ray machines and
hand-wand passengers at airport checkpoints, the Post said.
But the TSA wants the marshals to stay, arguing that the agency would suffer
a "significant adverse effect" without them, according to the Post.
