The federal government runs its own airline for transporting prisoners. It is called JPATS. They charge local jurisdictions for their services. It would cost Latah County Idaho $3417 to have him transported. That seems like a bargain compared to 3 airline tickets (2 guards RT + 1-way for BK), hotel rooms in PA, and salary etc. But who knows what they will do.Which is one (of many reasons) that I don’t think he’ll be escorted on a domestic flight.
