What having a sky marshal really means

So that when you leave the cockpit to engage the terrorist you don't shoot
the marshal? Here's a tip: Don't leave the cockpit, don't even open the
door.

Thanks for the tip - I'll try to remember that.

Give your brain a chance, boy! Suppose someone calls me on the
interphone and says he's a FAM and starts feeding me some BS about a
"situation"? How do I know for sure unless I've met him/her
previously? Would I be willing to risk the lives of my passengers and
crew on what could possibly be a diversion? How do I really know
what's going on back there? For all I know there could be six
terrorists poised at the door and I could be wasting valuable time
talking to some lying schmuck on the phone. Think about it and tell
me how you would handle the situation.

And, in the unlikely event that an FA has to knock someone in the head
with a fire extinguisher (present company comes to mind) because
he/she feels that another 9-11 style attack is in the works, I'd be
all kinds of ****ed-off if the FA accidentally clocked a FAM and
Abdullah is now free to take over the jet!

And to think my New Years resolution was to stop feeding the trolls...
That's a laugh!
