What's to say the gun was packed, not reported and security didn't see it if they scanned the luggage.
Then security at both ends should be sacked on the spot. sounds highly unlikely to me two airports would miss it.

By "carried the gun on the plane" they mean it was in his checked baggage. He picked up the bag, went to the bathroom to remove the gun, went out and started shooting. That's how I read it.
makes more sense if he went to the bathroom and collected the gun...
That was my first thought.

So if that person with that name was never even on the flight, I suppose we can say that names are here being fabricated..so are we moving towards a false flag yet?

But that's not really an explanation.

This is another thing that puzzles me. The Termnal 2 Baggage Claim area appears to be public access/pre-security. If so, that means the whole elaborate scheme of flying a firearm in/accomplices looking for particular bags etc would be pointless. Just walk through the public entrance and start shooting.
It just feels a bit, to borrow a phrase, "stupid-elaborate" in terms of a planned "terrorist" attack.
Isn't baggage claim area is all airports accessible to public? I think, anyone can walk in with a gun till the security check point in most airports.

Very scary..no one with that person's name on their passanger list..this is when the disturbing horror movie soundtrack starts setting in..
Maybe he walked into the baggage claim area from outside, never having been on a plane. Maybe he was picking up something in the luggage carousel. Like a giant teddy bear full of coc aine (that happened one place I lived).
Depends on which bag it was in. If it was checked under the aircraft, I can see how they missed it, especially if it was disassembled. If was in a carry on, there's no excuse out there for missing it.

Witness on phone saying gunmen didn't utterms a word before shooting into crowd. So where did the "I'm not Jewish!" claim come from?
Or simply fake ID. These days having an Arabic name with a gun in check (if that is what happened) would possibly raise eyebrows, so why not a fake ID, make it military, and use a Hispanic name?

I've been to some that aren't.
Incidentally, whispers of a suspicious package needing special loving from the bomb robots.
This might just be people getting excitable and seeing terror in every corner - but if you've just been through a mass shooting in a logical terror target, I'm not going to judge them for it.
