3. Probably not interesting to anyone but me,

but this is the first time we know of hat a mass shooting was planned at a a place where I have actually been. Back in the day, when I was on active duty and stationed on the East Coast - in North Carolina - and my family was all in California - if I wanted to fly either way there would be a change of planes between the big cross country one and the small local one in Atlanta. I changed planes there going to and then back from my favorite aunt's funeral. That would have been most likely in 1972. I expect it's changed a lot in more than 50 years though.
