IFPO's own Chris Hertig calls the latest massacre "A Looming Issue Within Contract Security." It is unthinkable that someone with all of the red fags Santiago was showing was somehow allowed to slip through the cracks. He became the "hot potato" that eventually turned deadly. Take a look at this story from lawofficer.com:
The alleged shooter flew from Anchorage, Alaska, to Minneapolis before landing in Fort Lauderdale, senior officials said. He boarded the Anchorage flight last night, the officials said. He checked his gun into his baggage, a source familiar with the investigation told ABC News.

ABC News reports that Santiago worked for a security company called Signal 88 in Anchorage, the source said. In November, he showed up to the FBI’s field office in Anchorage, where he espoused conspiracy theories, including one claim the U.S. government was trying to force him to watch ISIS videos, the source said.
When the FBI interviewed him, Santiago appeared incoherent at times, the source said. Investigators suspected that mental health issues may be at play, and they referred Santiago to local law enforcement for a mental health evaluation, the source said.
