With fewer flights nowadays, most flights are so crowded with passengers that the airlines probably don't want to give up any seats for extra Air Marshals.
I am praying that this is not the start of a new form of worldwide terrorism.

They will have to go to a two person rule for those always in the cockpit. And, insist that they violate the privacy of air crews to make sure that some kind of conspiracy involving two or more people does not come into play as in some kind of ISIS/ISIL or similar kind of terrorist scenario.
Maybe nosier passengers is also in order like reporting any suspicious behavior ASAP in private to some of the crew members who do not seem suspicious.
I am not afraid to fly as any other mode of transport would be more dangerous except maybe for trains and when you have a limited amount of time to visit due to other factors-- like posting on TOTV-- trains may not be an option.
Anyone who knows me well should be aware of how much importance I place on educating people about their rights and responsibilities and fighting to assert these through tax payer resources especially libraries and sheriffs' offices. ( My 224 613 Project) The Internet is also a great tool for this. Look at resources put out by pilot associations, FAA rules, as well as your political representatives. If you have some good ideas, spread them around. Cameras on planes especially those of passengers might be tools for evidence of what happened. Heard this mentioned on
ABC NEWS with David Muir last night about cameras in the cock pit when Muir was talking with aviation consultant John Nance.
I have always liked being around Seniors as they have so much experiences with dealing with life and usually are quick to give advice about how things might be improved. There must be very seasoned travelers, former pilots, etc. on TOTV. Hope they can put in some insightful ideas about what might be done.
