O Los Angeles, CA —Yes, our tax dollars paid and will continue to pay for undeserved honors for a dead TSA screener. On November 1, 2013 suicidal gunman Paul Anthony Ciancia opened fire at Terminal 3 at LAX Airport killing TSA screener Gerardo Hernandez .  Hernandez was not a law enforcement officer, first responder or soldier.  He did not deliberately place himself in harms way for others.  He was like thousands of other unfortunate killed in the world, simply an ordinary murder victim. The TSA security theater façade includes some 50,000 people without significant background checks, law enforcement training, arrest powers or firearms.  Dressed in police costumes these workers simply screen passengers that are fully aware they will along with their belongings be searched prior to boarding commercial aircraft.  This is not a dangerous job like being a cop, convenience store clerk or cab driver.

Los Angeles, CA —We are quickly learning about suicidal gunman Paul Anthony Ciancia , 23 who shot up Terminal 3 at LAX Airport . Ciancia  had one of those ugly black guns outlawed in his home jurisdiction of Pennsville, New Jersey and within the not so golden state of California. We will learn about  Ciancia's  frail mental health and how he broke various gun bans and restrictions already in place.   Again we learn that gun laws are only obeyed by the law abiding who are left defenseless and at the mercy of armed thugs. Ciancia’s parents put out a frantic call to police after the troubled lad sent disturbing suicidal texts to his brother. Assuming he survives his UCLA Hospital stay we will learn a lot more about Ciancia’s  psychiatric  failure in some courtroom. Ciancia suddenly taught us that our airports are still soft targets and that determined thugs can easily defeat the Security Theater Gauntlet posed by the TSA .  ...

Los Angeles, CA —This morning, Pennsville, New Jersey native Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23 was apparently a ticketed passenger.  His parents as described him as being suicidal.  Allegedly Ciancia removed a carbine and stormed the TSA checkpoint easily breaching it entering the passenger terminal area.  LAX police officers responded to this engaging and critically wounded the lone gunman. As many as seven were injured and one TSA worker was killed.  Ciancia is believed to be under FBI guard in critical condition after surgery at the UCLA Reagan Medical Center . The media is erroneously referring to the TSA workers as “law enforcement officers”.  They are not and law enforcement officers nor can they enforce any laws.  They are not vetted, trained or qualified to do more than report what they see to the real police.  Media morons have been rambling on calling TSA workers “brave men and women” sending me looking for a big ...
