Are you sure? He lived in L.A., for cod's sake, those are the minimums!
From what I heard, the man was actually saying something about losing his job or something like that. I was watching CNN when the CBS affiliate network correspondant was interviewing an eye witness who said he heard the man say something about "you took my job" or something like that.
The strange thing is that the network interrupted the witness, and started talking about something (IMO) less interesting... and the witness was never heard again... perhaps it was not a reliable witness or perhaps they didn't want this incident to turn into another "I lost my job and I'll kill you all" rampage, since it would be an audience turn-off...
Anyway, I doubt a "trained" terrorist would go up to El-Al ticket booth without taking out the armed guards first!
