The armed forces can’t execute law domestically. The question driving the discussion here is what exactly constitutes “executing law.” According to DoD policy, the armed forces are prohibited from performing the following law enforcement activities:

• interdiction of a vehicle, vessel, aircraft, or other similar activity

• a search or seizure;

• an arrest; apprehension; stop and frisk; engaging in interviews, interrogations, canvassing, or questioning of potential witnesses or suspects; or similar activity;

• using force or physical violence, brandishing a weapon, discharging or using a weapon, or threatening to discharge or use a weapon except in self-defense, in defense of other DoD persons in the vicinity, or in defense of non-DoD persons, including civilian law enforcement personnel, in the vicinity when directly related to an assigned activity or mission;

• evidence collection; security functions; crowd and traffic control; and operating, manning, or staffing checkpoints;

• surveillance or pursuit of individuals, vehicles, items, transactions, or physical locations, or acting as undercover agents, informants, investigators, or interrogators; and

• forensic investigations or other testing of evidence obtained from a suspect for use in a civilian law enforcement investigation

We’re talking about federal military members being ordered by the executive to enforce domestic policy, which is illegal.

The Air Force is not enforcing domestic policy here. If you see Airman out on the streets arresting people then you’d have a point. That’s why I mentioned the 6 agents. The USAF is providing logistical support (yes they bring their own security too, the 4 in multicams).

If you disagree please look it up yourself.

Why else would I be making so many comments?

Who said anything about aircraft security

Me, I did. That’s what Fly Away Security Teams do, that’s what the USAF uses to secure it’s aircraft, domestically and abroad.

Not really considering they’re wearing multicams.

Ok so you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. There are a lot of people in OPs image but only 4 are Air Force personnel, see if you can spot them.

Possie Comitatus has nothing to do with aircraft security.

Not wearing nametapes has been a thing for decades, long before Trump was president.

Fly Away Security Teams/Ravens haven’t been wearing nametapes for decades, this is nothing new.

24/7

No, no it’s not.

Yes it is, those are Fly Away Security Teams (FAST) or Ravens.

Furthermore:

1. I can just take my top off if it’s not too hot. My t-shirt does not have a nametape

2. I can just buy a nametape that says “Smith” or something common and you wouldn’t know the difference.
