This is the ultimate bending for an assassin. Air is invisible, you could easily take someone down by creating a vaccum around their head, the suffocation and extreme pressure difference would kill them or knock them unconsiouss in an instant, and air is (generally) the medium sound travels through, by creating an unmovable sphere of air around yourself, or someone else, it is impossible for you to be heard by someone, or impossible for the sound to reach them, and the practice of airbending makes you lighter on your feet, more agile, and thus quieter and faster. I totally agree with whoever said that all the airbenders became monks and adopted a pacifist mindset in order to avoid someone carrying out this potential, because a single clever airbender with a hostile mindset could wreak tons of havoc, and god only knows what a small team of them could do.
