The eyewitness complaining that an LEO knocked his cell phone out of his hand and put a gun barrel next to his neck had better count his blessings that he isn't dead too.

Weren't the Marshals in plain clothes? Personally, if I were on board a flight, and someone stood up in plain clothes, and said I'm a Sky Marshal, everyone bury their heads between the seats and keep them there, I may have problem with that.

Lets hope the terrorist don't pick up on this and pose as Sky Marshal's on some flight, and start making demands of the passengers, in hopes of keeping the passengers from attacking them.

It's a fair point that you make.

Unfortunately, there are no perfect ways to combat such evil.

Okay. Let's make sure they have name tags that say "Hi, I'm a airline marshall."

Then sadly, something bad would probably happen to you.
