Yes, that's sarcasm.

For the airline people, why does the DoJ need to get involved? Why not just use local, state or federal law enforcement agencies? What happened to the "sky marshals"? For all the theater post- 9/11, I'm amazed at how little has actually been done by various levels of law enforcement to make flights safer, even when there are near-constant actual threats (that happen to be right-wing).
