What having a sky marshal really means

Why would we do that?


It does not have to be intentional.



The FAM will make his own "introduction" to the
terrorist long before we could get involved!


The terrorist might choose to get you involved as his first order of
business.

Your airline normally operates with mishaps? Could you please identify that
airline? I want to avoid it.

Since when is operating " the cabin at a higher pressure than the
outside atmosphere" a mishap?

Since I'll be locked behind the "Taliban door" he'll never get the
chance to get me involved.

If there is any kind of serious altercation between a terrorist and a
Flight Attendant, the FAM will, as I said earlier, make his own
introductions.

It isn't. You need to read messages a bit more carefully before responding
to them.

You don't think the 9/11 hijackers weren't willing to die for the cause?


I do. But what cause would a terrorist be dying for by opening an emergency
hatch?

Causing terror? That's what they do.

Not really, considering that this is the normal operating
configuration!

I think he means once you're on the ground.

The purpose of an altercation between a terrorist and a flight attendant may
be for the purpose of identifying the marshal to the terrorist by the flight
attendant. It's better if the flight crew doesn't know who the marshal is
or even if one is aboard.

So, we're in agreement about your post, then. Good! Now you go back
and re-read the messages.

That's a pretty small bit of terror to die for.
