Uh-oh.....LA times first reports TSA agent, now reporting shooter was ticketed passenger.

Feds have had a name for ninety minutes, not ever connected with TSA. I am seeing a coverup.

I was just in that terminal this summer. You have to clear a ticket checker before you can go up the escalator to security. The last time I had interaction with TSA on that upper level, I first had to wake her up.

There is a report that when the shooting started at least one gate agent ushered passengers out onto the tarmac. A solid decisive action that may have saved some lives.
