air marshals

[alexsimmons]

Hi everyone
I was just wondering whether or not we had a version of the U.S federal air marshal service here in the U.K?- I love the idea of the job but it requires U.S citizenship over there.
Thanks for any help.

Actually, the job sounds better than the reality. Many of those who signed up have left, due to grueling trips (try flying a 2 hour flight 3, 4 times a day), long periods of boredom, little action, and silly rules (no reading or watching the movie, MUST wear a jacket and tie, etc.).

I was in the first group sent out, in 1970. Glad it was not my full time job.

You'll probably have more luck finding information on a UK forum.
