> We've told you how air marshals have to follow a dress code that can make them easily identifiable. Now, from Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar of the Los Angeles Times, comes news of another way they are required to identify themselves by their employer, the Department of Homeland Security. When they check in at the hotels they are required to use because the department has negotiated special rates, they must ask for the "air marshal discount."
