Big Flipp said:What would you call a man on a plane claiming to have a bomb then? The guy did not have a bomb but he claimed to have one and acted like someone who did have one. I'm sorry the marshall did not have time to question him to see what his political affiliations were so they could know for sure if he was a terrorist or not. He was a terrorist threat if ever there had been one, atleast at the time knowning what was known. This simply can not be argued, honestly you just look silly trying to argue otherwise.
Like I said, it was an unfortunate situation and the marshals did do their job accordingly. However, an "innocent" man was killed, I put innocent in quotes because claiming to have a bomb is illegal, but did not have a bomb. In the end, I don't know how the situation could have been handled better, but, I can't say that a 44 year old man had to be killed for shouting out three words and reaching into his backpack. Fuck that.
Sidenote, to answer your first question, a lunatic, retard, desperate, but definetely not a terrorist.
Good shoot.
