Police Search For Dry Ice Bomb Suspect After 3 More Devices Found At LAX
2013-10-16
[CBS]
Two of the four found unexploded outside the terminal near airplanes, so the lab johnnies have something more to work with. No harm done, no one hurt, but bombs set in restricted areas where special clearance is required. So the question must be asked: harmless practical joke or dry run for something worse?
Police are going with the disgruntled employee theory.

they're over reacting and definitely over-charging.

It's an airport. You know, with aircraft and passengers. If "it's a simple bang and not loud or destructive:, what happens when it eventually is "loud and destructive"? Are you going to complain about lousy airport security?

Odds are, you will.

#1  there is an issue with some of the restricted areas,” Downing said. “They donÂ’t have cameras, so this produces a bit of a challenge.”
Watch the passengers, don't watch the watchers.

I suspect one of the air 'meal' catering truck operators.
