    Even though federal air marshals spend the majority of their time protecting airplanes in the sky, they do spend some time on the ground by working along with TSA officers to keep the screening lines safe since they are armed and TSA officers are not. Since the early 1960s when John F. Kennedy started the first group of air marshals, they have been on domestic and international flights. Air marshals ride in plain sight, wearing regular clothing as other passengers to blend in with the rest of the population. But, they do carry a weapon on board to diffuse any hostile actions that may occur on a flight. They are appropriately trained on how to spot these potentially dangerous situations and how to react appropriately by using the necessary use of force to keep passengers and citizens on the ground safe. Whenever possible, air marshals will ride in first class with the objective of keeping the flight crew informed and to protect the crew in any emergency situations. Being that federal air marshals are under the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), they spend some time inside airports observing for any suspicious activities. They may provide assistance to other TSA officers at security checkpoints while they carry their weapons in the event they detect terrorist activity and also deterrence. Air marshals job setting are not limited to aircrafts and airports. In 2009, the role of air marshals was expanded as they became part of a joint task force who are called the Visible Intermodal Protection and Response (VIPER). The viper teams usually consist of air marshals, local police officers, K-9s and transportation security inspectors. The viper teams will patrol mass transportation such as both local and passenger rail lines. Federal air marshal’s officials also offer advice to other agencies such as the FBI and CIA about homeland security…

    Since airplanes became the weapon of choice for the terrorists, there is now more airport security. Responsibility for airport security screening after 9/11 was handed over to the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Passengers since then have been subjected to much more vigorous screening procedures. “Some security measures require passengers to remove their shoes and jackets before walking through x-ray machines” (Delgadillo). These new procedures allow for TSA workers to screen passengers in a more detailed way, to find out what exactly a person is carrying with them…

    Under the direction of Pistole the TSA has implemented a program called TSA Pre✓, focusing their efforts on travellers who present a higher risk to aviation safety. The program offers expedited security for travellers who are approved by TSA, including leaving shoes and jackets on during screening and not needing to separate electronics and liquids from other carry on luggage. By using this program effectively for frequent fliers who do not pose a security threat, TSA is reducing inconvenience to travellers and shifting their focus to higher risk…
