I'll make a bold prediction about the backstory behind today's shooting of an airline passenger by a federal Air Marshal: given the man's age (44), a BBC report that a woman traveling with the deceased had said he was "mentally ill" - and the fact there appears to have been no bomb in his carry-on as claimed - this may turn out to be nothing more than an unfortunate case of "suicide-by-cop."UPDATE: Thank you to Netscape News with CNN for the link to this post.
