Back in January, an oddly prescient investigative report revealed that should a shooting occur at one of the nation’s airports – such as happened in Los Angeles Friday – Transportation Security Administration screeners were being trained to first “save themselves.”
Writing in the Washington Times, Alan Jones reported a veteran TSA agent disclosed he had recently undergone agency training during which TSA personnel were confronted with a checkpoint shooting. The training reportedly changed the agent’s workday habits.
“Every day when I arrive for work, I look for an escape route in case someone opens fire,” said the TSA worker. “We have been told to save ourselves.”
While it wasn’t clear at the time whether the training for a potential gunman attack was nationwide or specific to the agent’s airport, the nightmare scenario played out Friday at Los Angeles International Airport’s Terminal 3, where just after 9:20 a.m. local time, a man reportedly carrying a rifle opened fire.
TSA spokesman Nico Melendez told NBC News the shooting happened at a screening station where fliers show their IDs and boarding passes.

The timing of this IS very convenient. Obama caught lying his *ss off about Obamacare, his poll numbers in the toilet and he looks like an idiot.
Plus he can try a little gun-grabbing in the process.
This is why they make the civilians stand in line in a convoluted maze of stansions connected by seatbelt webbing.
eyes pretty fly for a white guy but arnt those stupids lucky i dont do airports
790am said the shooter was GSA, true?
Paranoia is unbecoming to FR. The guy was a suicidal, disturbed young man who lived in New Jersey and his father had called various Western police departments because for some reason he thought his son was headed out that way. They may have had family or connections out there.
If the TAS agents were trained for shooting at the check point, they sure didn’t do a good job of it and most of them aren’t armed anyway. As for saving themselves, maybe the government should actually teach them to try to save the people they are theoretically responsible for (the passengers) as well.
They have neither a customer service nor a law enforcement ethic. The TSA, in other words, is like any other cruddy, dysfunctional Federal boondoggle. They’re not even effective enough for anybody to get paranoid about them.
Funniest thing I have heard all day. Good one.
my fear is am i paranoid enough
It is armed police and DHS who have that responsibility and from what I have read they reacted quickly.
I listened to a radio interview with an eye witness. She said at first the TSA agents looked confused. Then one of them yelled “RUN!” and they skedaddled like rabbits.
About 9 or 10 years ago Palo Alto police have trained for chemical attacks that never came.
Maybe The Navy SEALS or Justin Bourne or James Bonds or Austin powers or someone blew up the terrorist secret base before the obvious attack PAPD knew was 100% for sure going to happen happened.
Who says I’m paranoid? Why does everyone think I’m paranoid?
Final curtain for an actor in Security Theater.
“Did TSA know?”
They had a drill Oct. 5th — three “victims.”

I don;t put anything past this Administration.
This is a great diversion for them—see, those evil Tea Party, anti-government types are at it again.
By tomorrow, they will have Ted Cruz pulling the trigger, with Sarah Palin egging him on.
Paranoia? Nah, that’s for crazy people. It is as plain as day now with Zero and his crew what is going on, and we can’t even make up half of it.
Who are the bigger pussies, TSA agents or UN Troops?
Don’t even get me started about TSA, but I suppose today is not the day for me to rant about them.
