So, let's summarize this incident.

A single shooter fires at a TSA agent (did the TSA agent squeeze granny's boobs in front of the shooter perhaps?), the cops arrive, shoot the shooter and then take him into custody.

Whilst this is all unfolding, hordes of cops arrive - some toting automatic weapons. A ground stop is initiated at LAX, passengers are wisked away and the roads to and from LAX are blocked.

I wonder what the response would be if an armed squad of Taliban showed up?
Destroyers off the west coast? The 1st Armored division deployed? An air assault by the entire 82nd airborne division?

Talk about overkill and insanity. Geez. I think our country (U.S.) is in serious need of a couple of doses of a chill pill.
