Are women permitted to be marshalls? There's no mention of a sex restriction, but some of the information mentioned (e.g. that all marshalls must be clean-shaven, etc.) suggests that it's a male-only organization. If so, it ought to be mentioned. |

:Sign your posts! (type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) The second comment was a chauvinistic, vandalistic anonymous post. I doubt there would be a sex restriction for air marshals (there's no restriction on ] for instance.) If the article implies this, it should be fixed up so it doesn't have that male perspective :) ] 00:17, 8 December 2005 (UTC) |

::I remember reading an article about FAM and their training a while back. They mention that one of the FAM was female. I'll try to look it up and link it.] 19:39, 8 December 2005 (UTC) |

== Is this the first FAM incident ever? or since 9/11? == |

Someone added that the shooting today in Miami was the first FAM shooting since 9/11. Did a FAM shoot someone on 9/11? If there were only 33 Sky Marshals prior to 9/11 that would seem unlikely. I suspect this is the first shooting ''ever'' in the FAM/Sky Marshal history.] 00:51, 8 December 2005 (UTC) |

:I thought I remembered reading both, which is why it stood out for me as well. I don't remember any Air Marshals actually shooting anyone on Sept. 11th... Sorry I can't be of more help. ] 02:26, 8 December 2005 (UTC) |

:Brian Doyle of DHS during a press conference said, "This is the first time that air marshals have used a firearm during a mission since 9/11." The "since 9/11" phrase was probably first used by him. Many media outlets have clarified the quote to mean: since the Federal Air Marshal Service was expanded after 9/11. --] 01:09, 9 December 2005 (UTC) |

The history page http://www.ice.gov/graphics/fams/history.htm doesn't actually appear to say whether or not an air marshal has ever shot a passenger. Any better references out there? ] 20:01, 8 December 2005 (UTC) |

Can anyone provide sources for the statistic that "Until the American Airlines Flight 924 shooting incident at Miami on 7 December 2005, only two Federal Air Marshals have fired a weapon on or near an airplane"? |

:Have 90% of your answer. Two citations posted. The first citation is from a TSA spokesman in an AP article dated Nov 26 2002. He said no FAM has ever fired a weapon on a plane. The second citation is from Brian Doyle of DHS, who says no FAM has even fired their weapon while on a mission since 9/11. Therefore, first time ever, unless ... a FAM has fired a weapon while near but not on a plane prior to Nov 26 2002. --] 01:24, 9 December 2005 (UTC) |
