I can't imagine what is going to happen when some air marshall opens fire in an airplane who has never had to pass a weapons proficency test.
You would have to pass a weapons proficiency test, just not the particular one the article talks about. The PPC is the standard to pass (the PPC is the overall federal standard for most agencies) instead of the TPC. Different courses of fire.
