I'm surprised this hasn't happened more. Soldiers are a higher value target though. I'd expect to see more of this.

Having been through that airport a few times, I can say it doesn't surprise me at all that something like this happened there.

RIP guys

Yeah when I was there in 2011 I felt like such a fat target. Unarmed fresh off a plane. Waiting to get smoked.

What scared the poop out of me was seeing how craptastic airport security was in patting down the women. That and all the "I'm important" vehicle packets.
