Undercover Air Marshals Are Real

A sky or air marshall is someone who protects passengers and crewmembers from any criminal and terrorist attacks on board a civil aircraft. You may have watched the movieNon-Stop, in which a US air marshal receives threatening messages from someone demanding that his airline immediately transfer 150 million dollars to an offshore account. Just like Liam Neeson in this movie, air marshals must remain unnoticed and you really shouldn't be able to recognize him or her on your flight.

You might think that there would be an air marshal on every flight however, they're actually only on approximately 5% of flights.
