To help secure our travel safety, sky marshals are now to be recruited and then trained. FBI background checks conducted --- a task that will take many months. But already well qualified DEA, FBI and other federal agents are busy watching or busting marijuana users. They could be moved quickly, with the same pay and status, to permanent anti-terrorist tasks, including being sky marshals. Buster Jones, Albany - --- MAP posted-by: Jackl
