carriers new- paragraph s.4000 air marshal's juncker years, and have about 4000 air marshals.ey tried to do is try to figure out what are the "dangerous flights." a flight from pittsburgh to denver probably is not the hardest flight so probably not as much of a need. but from amsterdam to detroit it might be high risk of flight and maybe needs one. host: tom from minnesota. caller: i want to ask your guest what is his take on the fact that this underwear bomber was around to obtain a visa to start with? it seems on the face this is someone -- anyone with any common sense would not have let him in the country. the other thing i would like to ask him about is that this accent on more and more security in our society is incrementally leading us toward a police state. and the real problem -- annoying people -- host: around the globe annoying people? let's get a response from mickey mccarter. guest: generally denies as a huge visa vetting failure. at the united kingdom raised concerns about him before. his own father called u.s. authorities to report that his son was becoming radic

they are air marshals entrusted with keeping americans safe on planes. their ranks have swelled since 9/11. and now some of them are here to say what they are seeing behind the scenes, as brian ross brings us this story. >> reporter: their job is to keep the skies safe from terrorism. traveling armed and incognito, there are about 4,000 air marshals trained to make split second decisions with mature, professional judgment. >> nobody move! nobody move! >> reporter: but now, former and current air marshals, including these three, who cannot show their faces, tell abc news that the agency is plagued by managerial incompetence and outrageous misconduct that jeopardizes safety. >> i expect my federal law enforcement officers to set the bar. not to act like a bunch of school kid punks running around in a college fraternity. >> reporter: over the last five years, air marshals have been documenting the bad behavior of their bosses. this photo shows a supervisor caught sound asleep on a flight, armed with a loaded gun. >> now all you need to know is if a terroris

vice president marshall: i do a lot of explaining. president mazzucco: it is going to be a good event. commissioner chan: i will let them know. president mazzucco: anything you would like to add? without further ado, we now are open for public comment on up items three a through d. >> i heard we augmented oakland pd this weekend on the occupy movement. is that correct? in >> we did not operate the primary operation. late evening, we deployed officers as a reserve unit who were not needed in the field. >> thank you. in reference to the budget, i think with the program, the drop program, we will lose about 346 officers in the next two years. we have also had a lot of transfers and, if i am not mistaken, of 81 officers, give or take. >> i believe so. >> we also have an academy class that was approved by the budget. out of the class, we will probably actually get 25 to 30 officers on the street, hopefully more. in the long run, how do we look? >> as the captain discussed earlier, without funding the classes -- the biggest concern of the p

marshals. >> guest: there is no relation whatsoever. it's just the name marshall. they both have them. u.s. marshals work for the u.s. justice department and the air marshal's work for the tsa and they do not interact. >> host: jacksonville, florida. jack on the independent line. good morning. >> caller: yes. my question is we seem to be spending a lot of money on homeland security. has the government looked at freeing up or changing some of the laws to allow intelligence agencies at the cia to do a better job or a more thorough job rather than having their hands handcuffed in regards to some of the intelligence laws that we have in the country? i will hang up now and wait for my answer. >> there is a lot of sensitivity where bolstering intelligence agencies are concerned, and the department of homeland security and the federal government has sort of been viewed as a soldier if you will come a barrier. the public can interact in the department of homeland security, which is nothing more than a collection of police powers and agencies, and they can serve as a broker

that did not happen with marshall. he just came in and got busy. >> according to his wife, there is one thing about marshall that makes all these different things work so well in his life. >> marshall doesn't know what it is to not be able to overcome an obstacle or a challenge, and it's amazing. i mean, to have someone that is always so determined and so driven at whatever it is, whether it's things at church he wants to make sure goes right or if it's with his kids, making sure he makes the right decisions at as the basketball coach, and in his professional career making sure he makes the right choices. >> dr. dr. shepherd's research on hurricanes, to mentoring and advising to his family life to his work at church, they all share the same purposeful contribution to the greater good. >> hopefully future generations will maybe see me in the same way that i saw george washington carver, i see something in my career, see something in the way i carry myself or through my volunteer work with the fraternal organization or o

marshall, we have dr. charles sanders, an associate professor at my alma mater kansas state university. dr. sanders received his undergraduate degree from louisiana state university, a masters in education from north georgia college, another master's degree from the united states naval war college, and a ph.d. from kansas state, where he has been teaching since 2001. his research is centered on military history, and he has written a well-regarded book on military prisons in the civil war titled "while in the hands of the enemy." one reviewer for the "georgia historical quarterly" wrote, quote, no one can claim to be a serious student of civil war prisons until reading sanders' book, unquote. what i admire most about dr. sanders' ability is his skill as a teacher, which i have heard about from students and others at kansas state. one anonymous student posted a comment on the ratemyprofessor's website exclaiming best teacher i have ever had! seriously! dr. sanders changed my life and outlook in history and c

thurgood marshall had more black law clerks than any other justice. nonetheless he still had very few. for instance the year before i worked for him he had no black law clerks are when i was there. i was the only black law clerk at the supreme court when i was there. justice marshall, mr. civil-rights was quite elitist in his hiring policies. and it he had very few black law clerks that is a part of thurgood marshall's history that frank leave has not gotten much attention but that is true. on the question of the senses, there is a lot of different ways that people can identify themselves and i think that is proper. in my writings for instance, i use the term black and african american and afro-american is. i also use the term negro. some people think that is antiquated. i don't thurgood marshall use that term with a capital in in march to me 13 it used the term negro and debbie lee b. dubois use that term of it is good enough for them it is good enough for me. there is a wonderful organization the national association for the advancement of colored p

marshall had not yet reviewed and signed the log for december. the police commission what indicates that an investigation was conducted during november and december of 2011. we do have a recommendation based on what we learned from the lieutenant. currently, the department manually return -- manually records each request in a log book. the lieutenant would like to electrically document. we concur with this recommendation. i would like to thank the chief investigator and attorney for conducting the audit. that concludes my report. president mazzucco: this is extremely thorough. there are a lot of concern surrounding the department order and what activity officers were involved in, in terms of surveillance and cooperation with other outside agencies. the report spells out what we are doing. we have only once had to activate 8.10 for permission, which is really good, in light of the circumstances. it is good for the public to hear what officers to in conjunction with the capitol police. when congresswoman pelosi is here, they work with the secret se

in a statement today, the air marshal service says it has already taken steps to implement the i.g.'s recommendations. and while the report noted the issues do not appear to have compromised the agency's mission what's remarkable here is that it exposes problems inside an agency, scott, known for its secrecy. >> pelley: thank you, armen, very much. nearly two years after that disaster in the gulf of mexico, b.p. reports that it's making money again. between october and december it earned more than $7 billion. that's up 38% from the same period in 2010. which food is our biggest source of sodium? it's not these. the real culprit next. jenna shared her recipe with sharon, who emailed it to emily, who sent it to cindy, who wondered why her soup wasn't quite the same. the recipe's not the recipe... ohhh.

marshall, mr. marshall, you talked about president eisenhower and the appointment to president eisen hower and the impact -- i think it's important for people to know what they do and how they impact your life. >> well, thank you. i find it very disturbing is that there is a near inability to get this confirmed. this is something which started several presidents ago. but it grew quite a bit because of the presidency of george w. bush. it reached a crescendo of an inability to get judges confirmed. it dovetails back into the lifetime tenure and the kind of impact that the judge can have over a long period of time. and judge johnson was given his medal of freedom. he was appointed to the bench by president eisenhower. he received the medal from president clinton in the 1990s. the longevity in the positions has its affect. i think on the issue of political correctness, juxtaposed with moral fiber and courage, probably going to get in trouble for saying this, i think we've desolved into the situation w

the federal air marshall service now. it's supposed to be protecting fliers from threats such as terrorists. by all accounts they do their best. the secretive agency can also resemble something of a frat house. this comes amid allegations of sexism. bigotry. harassment, outright incompetent. the department of homeland security commissioned a report after a two year investigation. it's not due out until tomorrow. fox news already has a copy. and it shows that over a five year span, federal air marshall employees filed more than 450 complaints. according to this report, 33% of female employees surveyed say they were a victim of discrimination. one of three. responders repeatedly portrayed supervisors as vindictive and aggressive. and 61 percent said personal favoritism is a factor in the promotion process rather than merit. today the transportation security administration's john pistol said his department is addressing the situation. >> several people were fired. some people resigned. new management was brought n several lo
