I live very close to one of the largest airports in the country, but I don't expect anything to happen. If it does, I'm not straying far from home, as I'll be nextdoor at my nextdoor neighbor's BBQ. He and many of the attendees there are pro gun and LEO's, so I don't have any problem feeling safe. There's more firepower in his backyard right now than at an Army reserve exercise. [:D]
That is of course if any of this is even terrorism related. I'll bet any of you $100 if every shooting, airplane crash, bus accident, and god knows what were reperted every day that it would look like the end of the world.

Some nutjob picks the 4th of July to walk into LAX and shoot up the El Al terminal? Sorry, while he may not be a muslim, I certainly think he's a terrorist who had an agenda a la Timothy McVeigh. Or, as I said he's just some random wacko who dressed up in a suit and tie to start shooting up the El Al ticket counter. Either way, he picked the wrong counter to shoot up, as those El Al boys pack heat and are not afraid to use it. Had he gone to a Continental, Southwest, or other ticket counter the casualties are likely to have been much higher. Hell, we should be thankful this guy didn't have a bomb strapped to him. If he had, it would have been devastating. Honestly, I think the guy was just a nutjob, but to argue semantics over what he is is irrelevant. I think he certainly used terror as a weapon.
Either way, there isn't enough information to know one way or the other, and to feed the terror machine means they win. Now, I'm going to go eat some hotdogs, drink a beer or two and talk shop with the cops next door.
Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...
