As for this being a terrorist attack, you betcha! How is it possible for someone like this to get a gun into the airport? How is it possible for that same shooter to have knives on them as well?
One must remember that the FBI also had prior knowledge of the 9-11 attack. What makes one not believe the FBI didn't have the heads up on this one too? How is it possible for the Israeli government to see this as an attack yet our own government is too stupid to figure that out? From what I understand, LAX was not built for safety reasons; rather it was built for convenience. Our security experts are a laughing joke in other countries. To call themselves "experts" is a joke.
