It seems logical that if he had a knife out, he was going to use that weapon first to kill one of the security officers, so he might still have the element of surprise on the second guard.

Thanks for explanation. Excellent points. I love that that freepers are so knowledgeable about these things.

Was this a mission to find flaws in LAX's security and response?

Very interesting question. Probe? I hope that officials thought of the potential "car bomb" aspect once the terminals were cleared and the target rich environment was right where it was supposed to be.

So these are the terrorists living among us. I've read that Hamas has grown an extensive network in the US and they have infiltrated some Universities. Steven Emerson wrote, American Jihad: The terrorists living among us.

This is some of what I've read:

"The United States Government is actively monitoring terrorist cells affiliated with Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network in eleven cities, from Florida to Boston to Denver to Houston. But al Qaeda is hardly our only threat. Some of Hamas's top officials have been based in America, and the organization has tentacles in Texas, California, New Jersey, Virginia, and Illinois. The University of South Florida played host to key members of the infamous organization known as Palestinian Islamic Jihad -- one of its faculty members even left the country to take that group's top leadership role after his predecessor was assassinated. Hizballah has been tied to cells in North Carolina and Michigan, from which it allegedly drew funds and attempted to procure military equipment. In short, September 11, 2001, was hardly an isolated or unpredictable event. The United States has become home to hundreds and probably thousands of terrorists, and it has become a central node in their international networks.

"Steven Emerson, hailed as "the nation's leading expert on Islamist terrorism," has been working full-time since 1993 to track the spread of terrorist networks to our shores, even at great personal risk. In 1995, not long after the release of his PBS documentary "Jihad in America," he was informed by federal officials that a South African Islamist death squad had been dispatched after him, and told that he should leave his home immediately. Since then he has not maintained a home address, though he has continued to write and testify under his own name. With the help of a staff of researchers he has followed the terrorists' monetary sources, monitored their attacks and plans, exposed their ties to charitable foundations, and assisted a variety of government agencies in the battle against them. He has obtained videotaped evidence of terrorist training camps and conferences, and tracked the international connections of American operatives to over a dozen organizations.

My question: If the perp was a lone wolf how did he as an alien manage to get his hands on two handguns?

Obviously, through the gunshow loophole...
