By your logic, a TSA flight marshal would be powerless to intervene.

A law enforcement officer and a manager aren't even close to being the
same thing.


And you are making the assumption that the flight attendant was acting
properly.

That is a reasonable assumption lacking any evidence to the contrary.


Suppose a flight gets asked for a glass of water just one time too many and
starts beating an elderly woman with a fire extinguisher.

Would it be acceptable to you if a TSA officer intervened?

Would it be acceptable to you if an FAA employee intervened?

Would it be acceptable to you if an ordinary citizen intervened?

Or would you find it acceptable for everyone to just stay in their seats and
allow the flight attendant to beat the old lady to death?

AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS WASN'T A SITUATION WHERE A FLIGHT ATTENDANT
WAS BEATING AN OLD LADY TO DEATH WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER? YOU DON'T!

Now you are being ridiculous. You really think that wouldn't have been
reported had that happened?
