Then the obvious question is why aren’t there stricter requirements for TSA agents. What if they have to chase down a terrorist on foot for more than 20 feet, and then they’ll be huffing and puffing and collapse instantly. Their job’s title is Transportation Security Agency agent. How can they perform their job if they’d rather be eating donuts and sitting down?

I know what you meant, still struck me as funny...suicide isn’t generally something you brag about...I’m a Texan, too...

63 YOA black man named Richard White approached the Terminal B checkpoint and attacked TSA agents with wasp spray and a machete. He was shot 3 times by a police officer and is unresponsive at the hospital. Airport is back open, but terminal B is still closed.

“FReepers get the stories FIRST!”

Story is pretty much over now, and the Mainstream Media still hasn’t reported it, yet.

Sheriff Newell Normand identified the man involved at Richard White, 63, of Kenner.

Normand said White sprayed a TSA officer with a can of wasp spray, breached a security checkpoint and sprayed a second TSA agent in the face, then struck another agent with a machete. That officer defended himself by using a piece of luggage.

A chase ensued, with White pursuing that agent. The officer called for assistance, and another officer fired three times, striking White in the chest, the thigh and the face.

A bystander suffered a graze wound to the arm. Normand said a few others sustained minor wounds in the chaos.

The Mainstream Media is waiting for direction from key people in the regime before reporting it. It’s important to get the spin straight before writing the copy.

Sheriff says he recently got a taxi license, but has no known priors. Sounds like he went bonkers. Maybe he got stiffed on a fare? If he lives, we’ll find out.
