To what Cessna 172 Man says, I would add "he or SHE could be the guy or GAL next to you . . ."

Yep, and they're not just on international flights.

My wife is a CSA, and has check through AM's often on long domestic flight's.

Answer 6

I hope so. However i do not think they are on all international flights across the world. On US flights, but doubt if they are in Europe.

Answer 7

yup.  on every flight? maybe.  on every flight into & out of Reagan & Dulles?  you betcha.

In the coach cabin?  I doubt it.

Answer 8

Yep, personally know one...(well Australian Federal Police anyhow)...you wouldn't be able to tell him apart from any of the other passengers! (Since that is his role on the plane, then I guess that is a good thing!)
