I'm going on holiday there next month, so I suppose at least it'll be quite a safe place to be for a while if it's on high alert. .

Enjoy going through customs.
The problem with such a capitalist country as the US is that public sector workers like customs officers are kind of despised. Most of them have probably never left the US. And they take out their low self-esteem on richer visitors

Very true. I don't look much like a terrorist so hopefully I won't get arrested. Must resist the temptation to joke when going through Customs though.

At least - an IT contractor role model.

I'm going on holiday there next month, so I suppose at least it'll be quite a paranoid place to be for a while if it's on high alert. I'm not hopeful for my Pentagon tour though.

quite clearly playing John Madden 2012 in the first picture so is American Football considered violent?

No, he worked for a company which was sub-contracted to HP.

In the same way that Edward Snowden was described as a contractor.

I think the US model blurs the line more between a contractor and permie, largely because it's so easy to fire permies. I don't think Alexis was a long term employee of The Experts, just hired and fired for each contract they had to fulfil to their clients. It seems they hired him multiple times over the past year for various defence contracts.

US gunman 'had mental health issues' says the BBC.

No tulip.

He'd obviously had GTA5 a day early from Amazon.

It's all part of a covert campaign to give contractors a bad name. The end game is to declare the PCG a terrorist organisation and have us all sit in little cells wearing orange jumpsuits and coding for peanuts.

Be very careful the next time someone from "the agency" offers to take you out for beers.

Let me guess HMRC are driving this so does this make us 'Hectorian' terrorists?

"US nutter" = tautology
