A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

Fate whispers to the warrior "You cannot weather this storm". The warrior replies, "I am the storm".

This is probably the single hardest qual out there. The times are not generous and a single hiccup can kill your entire score.

I think it's more because every air marshal situation is crowded with innocent bystanders. Explosive decompression is not nearly the problem Hollywood makes it out to be.
