Book excerpt: This subcommittee meeting is today to discuss the important work of the Federal Air Marshal Service. In the aftermath of 9/11, the Federal Air Marshal Service, or FAMS, evolved into the primary law enforcement entity within TSA deploying air marshals on countless domestic and international flights everyday. TSA has undergone many changes since its formation after 9/11, but FAMS has largely maintained its autonomy throughout the years. Both its annual budget and its day-to-day operations and training are separate from the rest of TSA. Recently Administrator Pistole announced sweeping changes to TSA's internal organization and structure, which included the Federal Air Marshals Service. I want to ensure that this reorganization does not set the air marshals back in any way particularly with respect to training operations or adding unnecessary layers of bureaucracy.
