Federal Air Marshalls Just Saved Tons on Their Car Insurance Rates. No, That's Not True, but They Are Getting Raises. Ask Them How.

You could be on a secret government database or watch list for simply taking a picture on an airplane. Some federal air marshals say they're reporting your actions to meet a quota, even though some top officials deny it.

The air marshals, whose identities are being concealed, told 7NEWS that they're required to submit at least one report a month. If they don't, there's no raise, no bonus, no awards and no special assignments.

"Innocent passengers are being entered into an international intelligence database as suspicious persons, acting in a suspicious manner on an aircraft ... and they did nothing wrong," said one federal air marshal.

"But on the good side," he said, "We're not fucking the public over for nothing. These are really good raises we're talking about, here."
