He was a passenger on a flight traveling with a checked gun in his baggage, said federal law enforcement officials, who asked to speak on the condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation. The officials said that Santiago had picked up his bag and took the gun into the bathroom to load it before returning to the baggage claim area to begin firing at people.

So here we have the WaPost, a card carrying DBM publication, quoting an unnamed law enforcement source that the gun was on the flight and that shooter picked it up, went to the bathroom, loaded it and than started shooting.
Maybe. But, I'd rather have cameras proving all that which should be everywhere there except the bathroom of course. I just don't trust anything the WApost says. Could have happened the way they say but then again its the Post....
Neither do I but however you cut it the gun was accessed in the restroom either by him directly or “dropped off” and he came out blasting.
