:07:13. > :07:17.was ordering him to watch videos from the Islamic State group. It was
:07:18. > :07:22.during that contact that the agents themselves noted the erratic
:07:23. > :07:26.behaviour that concerned them and motivated them to call the local
:07:27. > :07:33.authorities to have him taken into custody and evaluated at a medical
:07:34. > :07:37.facility for his mental health. Questions are also being raised
:07:38. > :07:41.about the ease with which Santiago was able to transport and use his
:07:42. > :07:48.weapon in a supposedly secure place like an airport. It is legal to put
:07:49. > :07:53.a gun in checked baggage in the US, as long as it's locked in a case and

:08:05. > :08:07.his motivations will continue to be probed, there are also serious
:08:08. > :08:11.questions about how a man who'd already appeared on the authorities'
