Doubt that mattered, but it doesn't look like there was an air marshal on this flight.

Though it does lead one to think that air marshals might be a fine solution to a whole host of social problems.

I wondered about that, too. But, maybe there was an air marshal who kept an eye on whether the crew could handle it without exposing him.

It could be that "n'er do wells" try a minor event to flush out the air marshal(s). Once they know who the air marshal(s) are, other people involved make note and plan accordingly.

How old is Mrs. Osteen....menopause, maybe? Not joking as it drives some women (and everyone around them!) nutso until the body kinda' calms down. Put the holidays on top of that...kablooey!
