The probability of that is astronomically low.
Having the this unlikely scenario occur and having a marshal on board who could somehow affect such a scenario is far outweighed by the loss of revenue for all the stolen seats plus the decreased safety of the cabin due to a couple of firearms being brought on board by the thieves.
