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.

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."

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.

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!

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.
