  - I'm pretty sure they can scrounge up 4 guys for something like this. - Reagen May 4, 12:58 8
    - I dunno, I always thought of Air Marshals as being a scarcer commodity than that. -- nm - Bery the Hutt May 4, 12:59 7
      - It's a dude that tried to set off a bomb. They'll call guys in. - Reagen May 4, 13:01 6

        Interesting thoughts. I see what you're saying. - Bery the Hutt May 4, 13:04
