For all that trouble, I should've at least gotten his number!

The reason the Al-El program works so well is they don't identify themselves to anyone. That includes the pretty woman sitting next to them. What you described, it sounds like both of you could have had a nice conversation, without him telling you he was a FAM. Obviously he did this for the one reason, to impress you. I don't think that is justification. Then to discuss the other flights he had that day, I can just say, amazing. Can you imagine a police officer working undercover doing this? Oh, that's right, he was. How many other people had he identified himself to that day, the days previous or since?
