Does anyone else find it troubling that there were THREE suspicious bags which were blown up?

And yet, it has been posted that they are carrying .357 sig. By your definition, that should be classified as well.

Talk away...:) The more info that is out there the less safe everyone is. Some people ASSUME that everyone knows certain things. That is not always true. As another poster said...it is important to know your enemy. That would apply to both sides...good and evil!

I just hope the feds don't go overboard and require everyone to take a 20 page psychological test before getting on a plane. The system worked just fine this time.

But if a sociopath has to take a psych test, theyll pass with flying colors.

Atta had to have been a textbook Sociopath and he wouldnt have been thwarted by tests.

Blowing up bags is real disturbing. He may have had a good Snickers Bar in them?

Looking at pic of Rigoberto on CNN.

He looks perfectly cleancut and 'normal'.

Ahh this story is going to get lots of airplay, I can just see it.................

IF that's true.....and all the guy said was he had a bomb and they killed him....I think the marshall is going to be in some big trouble.

There are signs posted at the screening areas stating people are not even supposed to joke about having a gun or a bomb. Those signs have been posted for years (even prior to 911).

If I had to guess, you'd be the first person to yell and point fingers if the guy had a bomb and had set it off. You can't have it both ways. Either it's taken seriously or it's not. From what's known so far the marshal acted in the best interests of the people around the guy and the shot is justified.

Do you want the marshal to play 20 questions or do you want them to protect you based on the information they have at the time? Do you realize how quickly someone can set a bomb off? Did you read the information about why the Brits used head shots to take the guy out on the train when they thought he was a suicide bomber? That poor guy in England turned out to be completely innocent while this guy said he had a bomb. Hello, Earth to Fawn...

I wouldn't worry about it.
Consider it an 'If you f' around you won't be around' thing.

The msm seems to be angling toward the lack of personality profile training for Air Marshals story.

Depends. One carry on and two checked bags?

You could even pack them in those special white coats that keep them immobilized and ship them by plane. Alert air marshals that the white-coated individual is a certified nutcase, and everything will be fine.

they are nonetheless using the "profiling" word. So now just act crazy and detonate your bomb after the marshals look the other way

where were you, mister perfection, at 2:00 EST today? Having lunch with the ACLU anti-americans protesting military recruiters on campuses because it doesn't promote the gay mafia's agenda?

Go away and leave us true Americans alone. You don't like it hear - go back to France.

personality profile training>>>>>

Fantastically dumb isn't it ?

Like anyone has time to mull over whether someone is a real threat or just nuts.

Manic euphoria can be hard to distinguish from schizophrenic delusions/hallucinations. E.g. no doubt many people briefly wonder what would happen if they were on a plane and yelled "I have a bomb". Normal people don't actually consider doing it, because they know and care what the consequences would be; a bipolar person in a manic-euphoric state may get so enthusiastic about the idea that they'd go ahead and do it, without giving any thought

I disagree. :)
