It's easy to sit and second-guess the air marshals in a situation like this, but unless you're in that situation you just don't know how it is, or how it was. When you are responsible for 180 lives on a plane loaded with tons of fuel, and more lives of people in the nearby air terminal as well, the likely choice one is likely to make isn't often going to favor the person suspected of carrying a bomb. I know I would certainly rather end one life than risk the lives of hundreds including my own by letting things slide this one time.
How some of you can sit there and think you're qualified to criticize and judge is beyond me. I'm sure there will be a formal investigation into every aspect of this incident and it will be judge properly by informed people who aren't in the cheap seats watching CNN.
There, I said it.
