It's possible that bigger attacks were detected or just called off.
One theory is that he was an Al Qaeda sleeper who flipped out, maybe because nothing else happened:

Debka.com links him to the pilot of an Egyptian plane that crashed mysteriously in 1999:

And: there was that stepson of Saddam Hussein's who was discovered in Florida, wanting to recertify his licence to fly 747s at a school attended by a September 11 hijacker.
It turns out that he was last in the USA just four days before September 11.

Saddam Hussein's stepson was ordered by the airline he works for (in NZ) to go to the flight school to touch up his knowledge. But, of course, the USGOV don't see it that way.
Fuck America. I hope all those bastards get dirty bombed!
I assume you know that 2 ppl were killed, others wounded?
"shot up a counter" makes me wonder if we use the same language.
2 seems a fairly low score for shootings in the US.
Besides which, technically in the US, it's a "hate crime" and not a "terrorist" attack unless he was acting for or on behalf of a terrorist group or intending to start one. Currently no connections have come up between him and any terrorist groups. (Btw, that's the FBI's definition of terrorism.)
I reckon that collision over .de was set up. The russian plane was full of children of rich oil company executives. It's the Gnomes of Zurich I say. Damn midgets. Them and the Oompah-Loompahs. They're in cahoots.
I still blame the French.
Probably just an unhappy customer who couldn't get a seat. Of course Sherman Skolnick has an interesting take on it:
