Hindsight is always 20-20. The Air Marshalls are highly trained officers of the law. But here's the thing - if you are a marshall, and you have someone threating to blow up a plane, and then running away - what do you do? Honestly? Ask him to stop running, and see if he's on meds?
IMO - The marshalls did their job. They are probably guys that suffered through 9/11; served in Iraq, and have friends still serving there. They aren't there to second guess anything. If it would have been a real threat, this wouldn't even be a discussion.
