And how many AD's have Sky Marshalls had?

More than one.

Remember the video (somewhere on YouTube) of the female cop that had an AD
while giving a demonstration in an elementary school?

It wasn't a female cop, but last I saw it it was at Ogrish.com and I'm sure
it's still out there. I love that. After he shoots himself in the foot,
he picks up an AR-15 and everybody bolts.

Reminds me of ROTC in college back in the old days. The topic of the
day was grenades. We'd been playing with the practice pineapples. The
ones with the cork in the bottom and small charge of black power. Just
enough to make them go "pop". The instructor was showing the
different types and markings. We were not to handle the ones with the
yellow band as those were not practice where upon he dropped one and
the handle went "PING!" as it flipped off and slid across the floor.
Of course it wasn't live, but we had guys climbing the wall. Me? I
was sitting front and center behind a desk with absolutely no place to
go no matter what I did. So I did what the instructor did. He just
sat there so I did the same with the hope he didn't have a death
wish.:-))
