Was this the Man with No Name, or just another detail that was not included because it might perpetuate a stereotype?
Probably just got the wrong address for the great gun exchange the city has been talking about. BTW, that 37mm, was it one of those single shots or a new semi-auto version?
Obviously not in a locked metal box secured to the bed.
No way! Isn’t that illegal?
I’ve never been stopped driving into LAX. I guess this guy must have looked suspiscious.
Whatz the beeg deal. Prolly he was jus meetin 36 of his buds, and they all forgot their pieces.
Probably just a guy who hates waiting in long airport lines...
Amish again?
Not guilty.
This gentleman is obviously a proud product of our Imperial Federal Government Schools System.
Did anyone consider he might be going on a hunting trip?
If a person wants to hunt in a location that is best reached by air travel, then how are they supposed to transport their equipment?
What a waste of good firearms.
Bombay revisited??? Bet they had him pegged beforehand. One day this sort of thing will happen, just a matter of time.
Ummm it wouldn't happen to be a shipping container would it? Was it locked? Maybe he was going to a gun show to sell, maybe he is a collector and is moving his collection or maybe he was meeting someone there for a private sale!
FBI, Justice: El Al attack was terrorism
Ruling backs previous report on 2002 airport shooting

Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, shown in this undated handout photo, attacked an El Al ticket counter in what U.S. authorities have ruled a terrorist attack related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, an FBI spokesman said.
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — The FBI and the Department of Justice have agreed with a previous federal conclusion that a shooting at an Israeli airline ticket counter last year fit “the definition of terrorism,” an FBI spokesman said Friday.
In September, federal investigators determined that the shooting at the El Al ticket counter at Los Angeles International Airport on July 4, 2002, was a terrorist act carried out by a lone gunman bent on becoming a martyr.
Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, a 41-year-old Egyptian national, opened fire at the airport, killing two Israelis and wounding four others before being shot dead by a security guard for the Israeli airline.
The earlier report concluded that Hadayet hoped to influence U.S. government policy in favor of the Palestinians.
I hate it when this happens. Once, I forgot to remove some 357 magnum rounds from my carry on bag...
Is owning and transporting a gun collection against the law now? What if he is a dealer going to a gun show?
What is this "checkpoint" business? We have martial law in effect? Newly heightened terrorist alert we have been told about?
This should give conservatives the shivers - the pictures appear to be on a main boulevard, not the airport premises.
I suspect this guy is being waterboarded as we speak.
Can’t take the chance that there isn’t a planned attack on several US airports on 1/20/09...while Obama is taking The Oath.
I am unaware of what Federal, State statue "weapons transportation violations" fall under.
"Thirty handguns and seven rifles, plus fully loaded ammunition magazines were found in the same container in the back of his pickup truck," Castles said.
Guy was carrying 37 weapons and based on the article they were not loaded.
Maybe the guy is a gun dealer?
Check-in Clerk: “Did you pack your bags yourself, Sir?”
“Did anyone give you anything to carry on board with you?”
Traveller: “Why yes, They must have. I just don’t know where these 37 guns came from!”.
