Misunderstanding the benefits from Air Marshals

Congressman John J. Duncan, Jr. might be a Republican, but this is an amazingly stupid statement.

"Actually, there have been many more arrests of Federal air marshals than that story reported, quite a few for felony offenses. In fact, more air marshals have been arrested than the number of people arrested by air marshals."

The benefit from the Marshals is with regard to deterring crime, not just the people that they arrest.
