[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

people are saying that it was el al security I would have figured it was a la cop but maybe el al has their own security guards at the counters

The mental midget of Tinseltown, seduced and married
someone's husband. They certainly deserve each other.

[mdittmar]

Lets keep our powder dry,could be a husband, wife thing etc.etc.

We shall see.

The press is going loopy already.

[PJeffQ]

Without betraying any confidences, I know of some states where a mag was not in the weapon (but in the ammo pouch on the pistol belt) of the Guardsmen, and RI was embarassed by them not having any ammo in a news story...

[BossLady]

No kidding! We could learn a few things from this airline!!!!

All we have heard is....oh have a great time on July 4th....let the 'law enforcement' personnel take care of everything else....uhhhhhhhh........yeah right.

[Sabertooth]

KABC 7 ... "unconfirmed" ... shooting reported as "not random," shooter approached a specific person and opened fire.

[PJeffQ]

One airport here in SC checks trunks or truck beds if you have a cover.... as you drive toward the dropoff and pickup area (also towards one short term parking deck)

[EggsAckley]

apology accepted. :o)

[Brad C.]

If the guy is laying there dead on the ground with the gun in his hand, why is he still a "suspect"?

[monkeyshine]

You know as well as I that the "law enforcement" usually just show up after the fact and take reports. They simply cannot prevent any crimes unless there is a great coincidence of them being on the scene at the moment.

The US Supreme Court has even ruled that they have no obligation to protect anyone from any crime.

[katnip]

Thanks to you both for clearing that up for me.

[thepitts]

Is there such thing as a "public" citizen (as opposed to private)?

There are classes of "Goverment" citizens that have the right to defend themselves at "all" times, even on comercial aircraft.

[usconservative]

I'd say the odds are 100%.

Walks into the International Terminal, right up to El Al's counter, and opens fire.

Let's see, El Al is the National airlines of Israel. Who flies EL Al? Israeli's/Jews. Specific Target, fits a pattern of terrorism, IMO.

Being female, I don't ordinarily make remarks like this, but it's apropos in this particular case: The groom sure bought himself some used goods, didn't he?

[mystery-ak]

...he's a dead suspect...LOl

[Tijeras_Slim]

Wouldn't want to damage his self-esteem. :)

[GOPyouth]

It is laughable, that is why I haven't flown since 9/11. I flew EL AL to Isreal last summer and never felt safer, wonderful flight!

This happened at the ticket counter. Anybody can walk up to that. I don't know how safe I would feel flying El Al right now because if I recall right, somebody got shot and killed trying to fly El Al about half hour ago.
