TSA Squares Off Against CNN
March 25th, 2008- by Homeland Security Blogwatch   

Tonight’s episode of Anderson Cooper 360 will include a storyling alleging that the Transportation Security Administration is understaffing a vast majority of flights, with only 1% having U.S. Marshals on board.  The cable news show has cited these statistics to a number of anonymous sources including both pilots and air marshals themselves.

TSA has already fired back on its blog (Evolution of Security)  by breaking down what it asserts is misinformation from CNN’s report and countering them with their own statistics and explanations of how the agency’s flight staffing procedures work.
