The role of sky marshals will have to be in my humble opinion X forces (SAS, SBS) maybe even X police or a few of the other SF.. There are not many other who have used a weapon in anger and lets be honest here you will have to be able to KILL without hesitation. Not an easy choice to make.
I know a few old mates who have looked into this when it was first mentioned on the news. The training would be intense and I would suggest carried out by the SAS (they are the experts in this area).. The gun will be the last result and will be used when the marshal has a clear Kill shot.
However consider the options you have some total committed terrorist that has somehow got something on board the aircraft this person is willing to die for the cause, I would rather risk depressurising the plane and maybe a few innocent passengers, than sit back and watch |
