PJeff, the one thing that gives me pause ... why did he choose this methodology for his attack? This is not Martyrdom1001 MO. He chose a handgun, knowing he would be killed, when a corset of explosives would have been more deadly efficient. As would a shotgun or some high capacity semi-automatic rifle. He did this half-ass. Not by the numbers. Why? This is getting really speculative, but did he want an incident that was a full blown security breach, exposing the processes and reactions ... but limited enought to not disrupt the normal operations of LAX? Something is weird about this thing ... either this guy is a free agent who was making his own entreprenurial play for the virgins and used just the resources at hand. Or, it was a limited objective mission, a foray of sorts.

Here are some things off the top of my head...
Testing the defenses of airports outside the security perimeter? Particularly ticket counter?
Lone nut with a grievance against Israel?
Chain of command among cells has broken down?
None of the above
