In the real case, yes, I agree that the odds become more attractive.
But what if you manage to get a Sky Marshal whose wife left him the
day before, or who knows that he is about to be sacked, or has just
been put on some strange medication ...
We in the UK are still trying to resist arming our ordinary police, you see.

I'll take the odds of a Sky Marshall missing the bad guy and hitting

no good guy with a gun) is the terrorist completes his mission,
which means all 350 of us die anyway.
