Uhh, yeah, they do. They're the ones that are flying without a
ticket, without going through security, that aren't on the manifest,
that aren't included in the final head count, that don't have to
buckle their seatbelts on takeoff and landing, that have sat-enabled
com that they can use during flight? Not to mention the pistols that
might get accidentally seen and cause the FAs to panic if they didn't
know it was one of the good guys?


Why wouldn't a marshal be included in the head count, or be on the manifest,
even if under an alias, or wear a seatbelt , etc.? Why would the need
"sat-enabled com that they can use during flight?"
