CNN: The marshals say Alpizar announced he was carrying a bomb before being killed.

However, no other witness has publicly concurred with that account. Only one passenger recalled Alpizar saying, "I've got to get off, I've got to get off," CNN's Kathleen Koch reported.

After all the false reports given by the police in England for shooting the Brazilian guy, surely we should be wary of saying: "He said he had a bomb" just because the security people say so.

As one who suffers panic attacks in confined places, it scares the ---- out of me to think I might ever say: "I've got to get out" and get blown to kingdom come by guys in Hawaiian shirts.

Not that I'm saying security people have an easy job.
