Haven't heard (and would not expect to) but was the gunman, perhaps, shouting "Hollah Snackbar!"? Just possibly?
I hate to bring it down to this level but FL has two qualities attractive for Jihadists; gun free airports and a high Jewish population. This Perp may be "Crazy" but not all crazy PPL are stupid, this was a well planned operation
And here we go: transport of personal weapons in checked bags now deemed 'weakness in the system'.
"This guy found a way to exploit a weakness in the system," said Henry Harteveldt, a travel analyst in San Francisco.
A ban on shipping guns in luggage would hurt law-abiding hunters, he said, "but I don't think the TSA and FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) can ignore what happened. How many airline passengers today are worried that they are vulnerable?"
This is not the first shooting using weapons in checked baggage. In 1972, three members of the Japanese Red Army terror group retrieved guns and grenades from their bags after landing in Tel Aviv, Israel, and killed 26 people.
"This guy followed the script from 1972," said Jeffrey Price, an aviation-security expert who teaches at Metropolitan State University of Denver."
Natch there was no one on hand to shoot back.
