TSA Agent Killed

Level: National  

Category: Murder

Concerning: a TSA individual's who was killed at the airport

This is important because airport safety has been a main priority since 9/11. 

My Views: When I heard about this I just shook my head. The man was going to shoot his way through the nations 3rd busiest airport. The article stated that he wanted to "kill TSA." I am wondering why he wrote a note, what was the point in that? Maybe, there was more information in the note that is not being released. Luckily, only one person was killed  because he "had at least five full 30-round magazines on him." In my opinion there should be security at the door. He got too far into that airport. By the doors they should have metal detectors for everyone who walks past them. Yes, it may slow down traffic but I would rather be safe then slowed down a bit. Then there's always someone who gets passed it all onto the plane. How do they get that far? lack of attention, security, what? I believe that airports should have more security for as many people that arrive there daily. "The gunman then went to the security screening area, where he fired more shots and went into the secure area of the terminal, Gannon said." With that being said, yes, he got too far before he was seized.
