I don't think that 'mishap' is the proper word for this situation.
Incompetent airline and boneheaded air marshal.
No wonder folks don't like to fly anymore.

thank goodness there were TWO on the flight.

Those air Marshalls will be working in the file room for some time.

"When the flight attendant asked for his credentials, she says he said "how about this for credentials," and then lifted up his shirt to reveal a handgun."
To: Enterprise
Yeah, that’s how I read it.
To: ButThreeLeftsDo
Pretty stupid way to show his credentials, in my opinion. But the problem stems from the flight crew not being notified of their presence before takeoff. So glad I don’t have to fly anymore.
To: Robert DeLong
Either the Air Marshals Service failed to notify the airlines or the airlines failed to relay the information to the crew.
Either way, Dirty Harry was no help.

No wonder folks don't like to fly anymore. Not since May, 1996 and counting. Beautiful country we have. Drive instead of fly if you can.

...”how about this for credentials,” and then lifted up his shirt to reveal a handgun.
When the article said “two marshals boarded” - I was waiting for the story to develop along the lines that they didn’t know the other was on board, one of them sees or can tell the other guy has a gun, then draws on him!

This had the potential to go sideways in a hurry.

What’s the point in looking at the flight manifest out of Minneapolis, the passengers names are all some form of Mohamed. No need to bother the flight crew - dumb move by the marshals.

They lost a great chance for promotion when they didn’t shoot the attendants... Oh wait! That’s the FBI instruction manual...
