I can sort of see the relationship to the greater security/liberties debate.
But, ultimately this is a story about a series of escalating mistakes by both sides based on assumptions they were making about the other actions.
It may be the fact that I have been in the parking lot in question, have dealt with VA ABC before, or have too many friends who are Cops. But, ultimately this reads as mistakes were made by all sides, predictable consequences, and ultimately a relatively reasonable resolution with no real relevance to the greater security/liberty debate.
