Terror plot gone wrong? Self-inflicted wounds-premature detonation? Will we ever know the truth? What's the perps name? (Not asking you, shoddy media at work).

Fire grounds flights at Midway and O'Hare, man found with self-inflicted woundsEmergency crews were called to a fire in the facility's basement around 5:40 a.m., according to Aurora Police Sgt. Dan Ferrelli, a department spokesman. They found a man there with "self-inflicted non-gunshot" wounds and transported him to a hospital, Ferrelli said.
The man is not an air traffic controller or FAA manager, according to an FAA source at the facility.
The source, who received a briefing from officials, said it appears the injured person is a contractor. "He is not a FAA employee,'' the source said.
A vehicle in the facility's parking lot that is believed to have been used by the man has been taped off by authorities, another source said.
As per usual, authorities wouldn't say if the fire was set.

Vandals at the gates. I’m pretty sure vandal was the word for terrorist in the last days of Rome.

It said that he had burns as well as stab wounds - sounds to me like possibly he intended to do a suicide bombing and it didn’t work, so then he tried to stab himself to death so he couldn’t be questioned.

Can anyone in the FR community comment (without creating a loose lips scenario) regarding what kind of security is implemented at such a facility?
I.e. key card employee access/armed security guards at entry points/video surveillance/employees go thru a real background check/etc.

OK, everybody, close your eyes and repeat after me, “ISIS poses no threat to us on US soil.” There, feel better? Now, back to our regular programming. /s

We’ve been very lucky on that score! But I guess living in the 7th century sometimes clouds people’s judgment...

It almost has to be an inside job. Most likely a contractor that is somewhat trusted. Like a cleaner.

I have read that when the Vandals broke through the walls of ROME, the citizens were at the coliseum watching a gladiator fight.
When the moslems break down the walls of the USA will the American people be watching some insipid show on TV?

I know nothing about this particular airport. but I did visit another major airport for work.
In the instructions for getting to the office were the words “go through the hole in the fence”. We ended up beside an airplane within about 3 minutes with our escort. Our IDs were never checked and our bags were never searched.
