[Vision2020] anti-government sentiment

"Anti-government sentiment".  That appears to be the new catchphrase 
stemming from the shooting at LAX.  Apparently the guy was targeting TSA 
workers.  I suspect that to be the next new narrative, and I expect it 
to be used as a lever to try to ram through even more gun control 
legislation.  I also suspect it won't go over that well, since it's has 
very definite 1984-ish overtones.

Just for the record, if you have concerns about the TSA as an 
organization (and I have many), gunning down presumably random TSA 
employees is not the way to make a statement.  They are just Average 
Joes trying to make a living.  I hate "security theater" as much as the 
next guy, but nothing I've seen or heard about justifies any level of 
violence against TSA agents, let alone murdering one. It's not like they 
are clubbing airline passengers with billy-clubs.
