7. I believe MSNBC said it appears he did not have a bomb.
CNN's "analysis" (don't know who was speaking) was that if he had claimed having a bomb while on the plane, the plane would not have gone to the boarding gate. The threat took place just after deboarding on the jetway.

The whole situation sounds so fucked up and tragic. His wife must be going through hell right now. The marshalls have to contend with the fact that they shot an unarmed man who, at worst, acted like a crazy asshole. I don't mean to sound insensitive. If he was American, I'm guessing he'd have to be a bit off his nut to claim having a bomb in a post 9-11 world. Rational people know not to even joke about shit like that these days.
