Immediate Lessons From The LAX Attack By a Lone Suicidal Maniac
Los Angeles, CA—We are quickly learning about suicidal gunman Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23 who shot up Terminal 3 at LAX Airport.
Ciancia had one of those ugly black guns outlawed in his home jurisdiction of Pennsville, New Jersey and within the not so golden state of California.
We will learn about Ciancia’s frail mental health and how he broke various gun bans and restrictions already in place. Again we learn that gun laws are only obeyed by the law abiding who are left defenseless and at the mercy of armed thugs.
Ciancia’s parents put out a frantic call to police after the troubled lad sent disturbing suicidal texts to his brother.
Assuming he survives his UCLA Hospital stay we will learn a lot more about Ciancia’s psychiatric failure in some courtroom.
Ciancia suddenly taught us that our airports are still soft targets and that determined thugs can easily defeat the Security Theater Gauntlet posed by the TSA. Imagine what three armed terrorists could have done after they breached the TSA barriers within seconds like Ciancia?
Let me also say that terrorists could even more simply gain access to any airport tarmac quickly and virtually unnoticed to do mayhem to any jet filled with passengers.
We must remember that our jets are not made of bullet or bomb resistant material but soft and light aircraft aluminum. A small truck bomb could kill hundreds on one of our normally filled to capacity planes.
The TSA does little but destroy the employability and lives of people that absent-mindedly leave lawfully owned firearms in their suitcases.
When it’s suggested that forgetfulness is no excuse we seem to forget our own female family members. Every day they forget and leave expensive lotions and beauty potions in their carryon’s only to see them confiscated by TSA workers.
The TSA practice of disarming pilots, off duty or retired cops and military members only makes our soft airport targets even more vulnerable.
Overall the TSA is one of the more worthless jobs program ever created. Putting the hard corps unemployed into police style costumes has done nothing to make anyone safe.
The real less here is we will only get more of the same because our brain-dead politicians will never understand nor accept reality.
Good point: we keep getting demonstrations that the present “security” culture is so inept that we can’t even protect ourselves from a schizophrenic in the middle of psychotic break.
Time to try something different, maybe?
