Bipolarity and US Air Marshalls

So...

A bipolar man fights with his wife, doesn't take his medication, shoots off completely (manic or suicidal if I read the reports properly), claims to carry a bomb and refuses to hand it over. Result? Shot to death.

Seriously. This is scary. As if bipolarity (or psychotic episodes, or social phobia, or panic syndrome et.c. et.c.) isn't quite a bitch already. Now apparently, it's a lethal offence in US airports as well.
