Revision as of 00:02, 9 December 2005
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.
Women are not allowed to be marshalls, just flight attendants.
why aren't women allow to be air mashalls?(Raniya 15:52, 8 December 2005 (UTC))
- Sign your posts! (type ~~~~) 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 police officers for instance.) If the article implies this, it should be fixed up so it doesn't have that male perspective :) Mrtea 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.Attakmint 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.Rhallanger 00:51, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Reminder: please supply sources
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"? Tim Pierce 13:30, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
dress code
witness's on cnn said that the airmarshall was wearing a hawaiian shirt, a edit might be nessisary
- Thanks, I've added a note to that and a link to a CNN article. Tim Pierce 20:53, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
