All of the <br>  <br> corporate media outlets are running coverage of the incident, but nobody is providing any specifics.  Police <br>  <br> and emergency units have closed off all access to the EL AL terminal and incoming flights have been held <br>  <br> up at the runways.  The gunman is believed to have \"disappeared\" after allegedly injuring several people. <br>  <br> Corporate news media reports that police are looking for a man in a blue t-shirt and brown hair, who is  <br>  <br> not a suspect (?), but may have information (?).   <br><br> COMMENTARY: <br>  <br> With all the anal-retentive security set up at LAX before the holiday, how can this still happen?   <br><br> This will surely give more power to Hahn's idiotic new airport security plan. <br><br> Sounds like a set-up to me.  This is too much of a coincidence and the lapse in security is far from an <br>  <br> abberartion.  Sounds like a mini-version of 911 to me with Hahn in the dubya role... <br><br> Covert operations are still in effect it seems....<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"A shooting occursat LAX  just before 12noon and raises many questions.","numcomment":4,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2002\/07\/17511.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":17512,"heading":"disappeared","article":"CNN is reporting that the gunman is dead, shot by an El Al security personnel","author":"Anthony","parent_id":17511,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2002-07-05 17:19:23","modified":"2002-07-05 17:19:23","fileurl":""},{"id":17519,"heading":"Paranoid ?","article":"Being just a bit paranoid aren't you ?\r\nYou think this was planned out by the state?\r\nYou talk like that and you'll lose credibility with ordinary people...\r\nNow I'll grant you they'll exploit it in every way possible but c'mon...","author":"Nick","parent_id":17511,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2002-07-06 01:29:03","modified":"2002-07-06 01:29:03","fileurl":""},{"id":17599,"heading":"Mr","article":"THE GUARD SHOT THE PASSENGERS:\r\nFrom eyewitness accounts:  The limousine driver (shooter) had an argument with a passenger in the EL AL ticket area.
