I think you did. The air marshal had to blow his cover to subdue the unruly passenger. That means that if there were terrorists aboard, they'd know whom to take out. I wouldn't be surprise if a terrorist organization were to deliberately create in air incidents to out and preoccupy on board air marshalls as part of an attemt to take over an aircraft.
Yeah, the outing of the Air Marshals was sufficient cause for the diversion. Letting the passengers line the jetway and turn it into an ad hoc gauntlet before he was taken off would have been a nice touch, though.

Do you think that the TSA crews in each airport know who the Air Marshalls are who work from that airport?
I do and don’t see any reason why any rugriding TSA employee wouldn’t pass that information along to the first terrorist who asks for it.
