And a few more questions, guys
What will the airplane crew do, if for some reason Marshall decides to discover himself?
If a crime is committed on board by someone unknown and chances are that it is threatening the safety, or it will repeat, will they respond, or just let the airplane land as soon as possible?
Does the crew get the information who is their Marshall, if he or she is present?

Flight crew -- at least one of them on board -- know who the FAMs are on their flight. Traditionally they have also been informed about the other armed LEOs or authorized cabin gun-bearing passengers on their flights.
I am speaking of US airlines here. Foreign airlines with armed guards don't have all the same practices, even as many of the practices are very much akin.
Are you trying to write a sequel to a movie or a new movie plot? It's already been considered.

No, I am not interested in making a new movie, at least, for now, I am not a moviemaker.
That is just for my information
I have read, that in case the Marshall decides to do something, the crew should provide coordinated response, to assist him.
Anybody knows, what does it mean?
Is there anything, besides an armed hijacker in sight, that the Marshalls should respond to?

I heard they can start shooting when someone asks too many questions about their job and ask later!

I was on a flight early last year from LAS back to JFK when about halfway through something broke out with a drunk passenger. I don't know what exactly happened but for the first time ever I saw a sky marshal go into "action". I use quotes because quite honestly he didn't seem to know what to do and looked as clueless as any of us. The flight attendants took more action in calming this man down than the sky marshal did. He mostly just stood there with his hand extended out towards the man and kept warning him that he would be detained if he didn't sit down. The drunk guy couldn't care less.
They are just another part of the entire homeland theater on display with respect to flying.

So law enforcement should stop by his/her house? So he/she ought to be wiretapped?
If I ask TSA employees a bunch of questions at the airport, is law enforcement thus justified in coming to my home, reading my e-mails, tapping my phone, etc.?

Do you want the "reasonable & sane person person" answer of the "US law enforcement and security services" answer?
