I was standing just out from the desk and watched him show the "sky marshall" badge. The agent (Joe Aiello) smiled and made small talk. Agent left the gate area, walked over to a gate that was not being occupied and logged into the computer. He promptly ticketed both marshalls with F class tickets and I watched 2 names remove from the Standby list. I figured they are catching on that people are watching the monitors and monitoring actions like this.
It's marshal, not marshall. If you're going to spend this much time complaining about the guys who are willing, every day, to lay their lives on the line for you and all your whining frequent flyer buddies, you could at least spell "marshal" correctly.
