    Rescreening all passengers because someone who had not been screened had a gun.

    Okay...

    Being in the airport, does not equate to being past security with a gun.

    Interesting thing is the subject was female, dropped off, goes inside, goes into a restroom, exits the restroom dressed in a hoodie, starts firing.

    Police officer engaged the subject almost immediately, striking the subject several times, and she was taken into the custody and taken to the hospital.

    I know, which is why I found it odd that they rescreened everyone because an unscreened Person pulled a gun

    Probably standard protocol. I can imagine there being mass chaos and confusion, and people possibly being able to get past security with prohibited items. Age old misdirection, see the shiny over there so you don't see what I just palmed.

    The incident happened around 11 a.m. Monday near the Southwest Airlines ticket counter on the public side of TSA security.

    Add this to the shots apparently being directed into the ceiling, makes me think this might have been a suicide by cop attempt.

    So reminds me of a question I have been meaning to ask.....

    A guy goes to drop off a passenger at the Indianapolis airport. Parks in short term parking, escorts the passenger to the concourse up to the point where a trained monkey has. sign that reads "TSA area" or some such. Guy says wishes the passenger a good trip. Guy then stops to grab a quick bite in the food court of the airport, exits to parking and leaves.

    If the guy is carrying during this entire time, has he broken any laws?

    There should be a law against consciously choosing to pay airport food court prices when you are not absolutely forced to by circumstance.

    Isn't there a Subway like two minutes from the airport? :laugh: Death before airport food court prices.

    Looks like not in Indiana. IC 35-47-6 only mentions controlled areas of an airport.

    Not illegal in Indiana.

    That is what I would think.....not aware if the place somehow falls under federal rules.
    Don't believe the public areas are governed by federal laws as it regards firearms. The "sterile" area does from what I find.

    Appears there are states where the public area is off limits according to this (albeit a bit older article, so some state laws may have changed since then):

    Thanks for the article.....I'll do some leg work to see if I can find anything more current and that helps start.
