... because they do not properly understand the concept of a poker  
face (the biggest asset for every sky marshal is surprise). They will  
be beaming with the fact that *they* are the one on the plane with  
the bullets.

Until the phaser, limited to the inability to de-pressurize the  
cabin, further limited such that it can not be used against the  
flight crew, and its mere presence causes all hijackers to loose  
bodily control such that they can not exert any force on anyone, ...  
the basic problem still exists ... how to prevent the weapon from  
getting into the hands of the hijacker, or at least prevented from  
having any effect once there.

If a passenger stands up, after having carved and painted a potato to  
look like a gun ... the sole purpose is to find the over zealous sky  
marshal ... after that, four or more hijackers take the now located  
gun from the sky marshal (the potential hijackers can easily be  
trained just as well as the sky marshals).
