Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By deploying armed air marshals onboard selected flights, the Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS), a component of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), plays a key role in helping to protect approximately 29,000 domestic and international flights operated daily by U.S. air carriers. The Government Accountably Office (GAO) was asked to examine (1) FAMS's operational approach or "concept of operations" for covering flights, (2) to what extent this operational approach has been independently evaluated, and (3) the processes and initiatives FAMS established to address workforce-related issues. GAO analyzed documented policies and procedures regarding FAMS's operational approach and a July 2006 classified report based on an independent evaluation of that approach. Also, GAO analyzed employee working group reports and other documentation of FAMS's processes and initiatives for addressing workforce-related issues, and interviewed the FAMS Director, other senior officials, and 67 air marshals (selected to reflect a range in levels of experience). This report is the public version of a restricted report (GAO-09-53SU) issued in December 2008.--Highlights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of 9/11, terrorists continue to target aircraft and airports, underscoring the ongoing threat to civil aviation and the need for effective security measures. FAMS deploys air marshals on selected flights to address such threats and is a key component of TSA’s approach to aviation security. However, longstanding challenges faced by FAMS’s workforce could impact its ability to carry out its mission. This report addresses (1) the extent to which FAMS has taken steps to address air marshals’ health concerns, (2) the extent to which FAMS has taken steps to address air marshals’ concerns about their work schedules, and (3) the number of discrimination complaints FAMS employees have reported and the extent to which FAMS has taken steps to prevent discrimination. GAO is making six recommendations to FAMS, including that it implement a plan to assess the health of the FAMS workforce, monitor the extent that air marshals’ shifts are consistent with guidelines, and strengthen efforts to prevent discrimination.

(TSA) to the U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement Bureau (ICE), & a 2005 transfer from ICE back to TSA.
