Roger, I agree. A sad situation and outcome. What can you do.

The London incident that I alluded to is a reminder that we should wait for stories to pan out before assuming that the official accounts are true.

Sad that there was no bomb?

Way to go. I bet you would have prefered for a bomb to explode on the aircraft that would killed a few hundred people.

Just whose side are you on, Ours or the terrorists?

Way to go, guys.

What the hell is your probllem? Don't you watch the news. The guy said several times that he had a bomb, Why do you suspect that the Air Marshals didn't use all the proper procedures.

Or, does your superior intelligence make you think that this a foulup by the Air Marshals.

"let's see how the story develops" ?

Maybe you better let your brain develop a little better and give the Air Marshals credit for stoping what could have been a disaster. I bet is he had a bomb and it was set off killing a bunch of people, You would be the first to raise hell and blame Bush. That's your style.

A passenger who claimed to have a bomb in a carry-on bag was shot and killed by a federal air marsha

Passenger Mary Gardner told WTVJ in Miami that the man ran down the aisle from the rear of the plane. "He was frantic, his arms flailing in the air," she said. She said a woman followed, shouting, "My husband! My husband!"

Gardner said she heard the woman say her husband was bipolar and had not had his medication.

If that's how it happened, very sad. But you can't expect the marshals not to shoot.

I do however recall the case of the fellow gunned down in the London subway a while back, where it turned out almost none of the justifications for killing him were true. So let's see how the story develops.
