Industry expert warns Thanksgiving flights could be ‘unsafe’ as record number of travelers prepare for takeoff

A record-setting 30 million Americans are expected to head to the airport this Thanksgiving holiday, and one industry expert is warning the deployment of air marshals to the southern border could mean Turkey Day troubles might not be isolated to bad weather.

“We just received an email last week that resources are depleted as far as our flying air marshals,” Sonya LaBosco, director of the Air Marshal National Council, told FOX News on Tuesday.

“We are ushering in illegal immigrants on the border and leaving the traveling public unsafe,” she added, telling viewers that air marshals are being deployed at the U.S. southern border instead of in the transportation sector where they belong.
