The War is Over?

The War is Over? -- According to an MSNBC report, Air marshals pulled from key flights:
"Despite renewed warnings about possible airline hijackings, the Transportation Security Administration has alerted federal air marshals that as of Friday they will no longer be covering cross-country or international flights, MSNBC.com has learned. The decision to drop coverage on flights that many experts consider to be at the highest risk of attack apparently stems from a policy decision to rework schedules so that air marshals don't have to incur the expense of staying overnight in hotels."
Hotel expenses??? Four billion a month for a situation of questionable threat in which "major hostilities" are over but not enough for a few stays at Holiday Inns for defenders in the forgotten "war on terrorism?" Hey -- maybe we should cut some more taxes. Yeah, that's the ticket...
