But Free Market devotees like Dick Armey and Tom DeLay of Texas think it would be just too much trouble to recruit and maintain a professional, highly trained force of screeners. After all, when these princes of the U.S.A. fly, they just call up and get a couple of Sky Marshals to fly with them! The rest of you? You're on your own.
