According to reports given by U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, who serves on the House Homeland Security Committee, the shooter's father called police after the family received a disturbing text message last Friday. The call was relayed from police in New Jersey, where the father lives, to Los Angeles, where local police were sent to Paul Ciancia's home to check on him. Unfortunately, they arrived about 45 minutes after Ciancia had already left to carry out his deadly assault. Ciancia reportedly got a ride to the airport from his roommate, who was unaware of the killer's plans. Ciancia shot five people, including TSA agent Gerardo Hernandez, who died of his wounds. The killer remains in the hospital in critical condition, after being shot several times by police. A note carried by Ciancia indicates that he deliberately targeted TSA agents, because he distrusted the government and wanted to "instill fear into their traitorous minds." Homeland Security officials say they are reviewing TSA procedures and screening rules to see if any changes might made to prevent a similar incident from happening again. TSA officers are the only federal law enforcement officials who are not armed and do not receive firearms training, although armed police officers and security guards are usually present at most airports. Poster Comment: They missed him by 45 mins, eh? I'd put the odds on that actually happening at 'hitting the Powerball' level. Police Just Missed a Chance to Stop the LAX Shooter at His Home

Such unfortunate events as that are a two edged sword. There is nothing any government fears more than a lone wolf dissenter. There is NO defense against such people. On the other hand, we never know for sure the lone wolf was acting for or against the government.
