1) Isn't the baggage area AFTER the flight ? How was this guy allowed to have a gun there?

On CNN they're saying that this airline allows people to check bags with guns and ammo in them, as long as they fill out the proper paperwork.

If they do they are violating the law.

Yes, you may carry a gun on a plane. No, it cannot be loaded. No, it may not be on your person (or, AFAIK, your carry-on). As stated by Culise it needs to be in a proper (locked!) case (IDK, but it may need a trigger/bolt lock as well). You need to fill out a form declaring the gun as well, not sure what all info you need, as I have never flown with a gun before...

There seems to be a lot of talk about altering policies so that ammunition would no longer be allowed in the bags on planes to prevent this sort of thing from happening.
It's probably just my ignorance talking, but I don't see why a baggage claim terminal is particularly more sensitive than any other crowded location where people are permitted to have access to loaded weapons.

Huh, apparently the suspect was both shot and is alive now. That's atypical.

I'm putting my money on this being a TBI snap-shooting.

USA intelligence agencies have released a report on Russian activity in USA elections. Long story short, Putin has personally led an army of hackers and trolls to topple down the "US-led liberal democratic order" - and, judging by Donald Trump being elected, has succeeded in that goal.

The world may or may not be doomed to a one thousand long reign of unfathomable tyrannical dictatorial enslaving evil.

Definetly something mental, but might not be TBI. Apparently the guy was hearing voices in his head telling him to join ISIS. And the guy was interviewed months ago and told the FBI the same thing.

People are going to have to figure out who dropped the ball and what fell through the cracks here.

Surprise, surprise! /s

Trump hasn't said anything after the briefing yet, AFAIK.

You're not alone.  This thread in particular doesn't do that to me, but ever since the primaries I've made it more or less a daily habit to look at the most politically charged news articles I can find and read the comments to see how angry they make me.

Here, have you a look at the report, it isn't all that long.
http://stmedia.startribune.com/documents/1russia010717.pdf

Notice that it is distinctly lacking in evidence, and the bulk of the report is dedicated to the absolutely Earth-shattering conclusion that RT, the news outlet that is funded by the Russian government and openly serves as a government mouthpiece, has a pro-Russian bias.
