"Made a bad decision" - understatement?
Man Caught with Gun at BWI Airport:
LINTHICUM, Md. - The federal Transportation Security Administration has confirmed that a Virginia man was arrested with a concealed handgun and ammunition at BWI Marshall Airport this month.
The incident wasn't publicly announced when it happened on August first. But an account was later posted on the TSA Web site.
The TSA says the behavior of the arrested man was consistent with that of a terrorist before an attack. But Maryland Transportation Authority police spokesman Corporal Jonathan Green says there were no indications the suspect was involved in terrorism or "feeling out" airport security.
Green says the department did not regard the incident as a "major arrest." He says Thomas Slackie, 45, of Falls Church, "made a bad decision and got caught." ---
