Talk about odd. This goes beyond any normal profile. At first blush,
everything looks normal and was handled from Alaska to Florida as
expected. He gets his checked luggage (baggage return is outside the
secure boarding area of an airport), goes into the bathroom and comes
out firing.
This dude must have been highly agitated about something. And that
something had to have been just a trigger after a stack of other
things that built up to that point. An extremely long day of flying,
irritating fellow passengers, air-sickness bags on the last leg,
crying children, and somebody grabbing his bag at the baggage claim.
And add to that the potential of coming into contact absorption of PCP
at the airport. (actually a problem in some places).
More will be revealed, for sure, but this can't devolve into a
gun/anti-gun argument as there really has to be more to the story than
something that binary. I can't imagine that anybody who probably spent
that much effort to escape the snow and cold of Alaska to enjoy
January in Florida would decide to become a terrorist or murderer.
Something, or multiple things happened to bring it to this point.
Along the way, how many things could have been done to diffuse
whatever it was that was building up and caused him to snap.
