A bomb? Or not?

It'll probably be a while before we find out.

Man reportedly killed at Miami airport - U.S. Security - MSNBC.com

MIAMI - A passenger who claimed to have a bomb in a carry-on bag was shot to death on a jetway after an American Airlines plane arrived at Miami International Airport from Colombia, according to officials and broadcast reports.

Homeland Security Department spokesman Brian Doyle said after the plane had parked at the gate, a passenger indicated there was a bomb in the bag. The passenger was confronted by air marshals but ran off the plane, Doyle said.

A team of air marshals pursued and ordered the passenger to get on the ground. The passenger complied, then was shot when apparently reaching into a bag, Doyle said.

Seems to me the right thing to do when confronted by air marshals, with their guns drawn, would be to do anything they say. But that's just me.
