Danish police have raised their country's threat level after the terror attacks in Paris. Like other European countries, the Danes fear that terrorists may target them for attacks.
Only minutes after word came out that the Danes raised their threat level, Dutch media reported that Copenhagen Airport was partially cleared after a "suspicious bag" was found. Every passenger in Terminal 3 has been asked to leave, and the metro won't stop at the airport until the bag has been taken care of.
Clearly, Danish authorities fear the bag may contain a bomb.
Passengers who have already checked in are allowed to leave; the planes will not wait for anyone who comes late. A spokesman for the airport says they're following standard procedures to deal with the threat.
It's not the first time that other European countries have acted in response to a possible terror threat after the Paris attacks: yesterday, the friendly soccer match between Germany and the Netherlands was canceled after a fake bomb was found.

I guess that would mean people transferring from late-arriving planes. How will that improve security, exactly? If it really does add a measure of protection, then why hasn't this been SOP the past 20 years?
But will the Euros ever address the cause of the problems?
We are facing two stark choices:
1. Live our lives in a permanent lock down mode.
2. Root out and deport radical Islamists.
BO would LOVE the former because people who are corralled are controlled.
I find it extremely interesting that the “terrorists” target large gatherings of “westerners” (The Paris Concert, airports, flights, etc.) yet the typical western response is tracking individuals for “justice”.
I believe there may SOON be a “tit-for-tat” that targets a mosque on US soil.
Those damned Amish, no really there is a solution but it takes real people with conviction.
“Danish authorities fear the bag may contain a bomb.”
Probably just a bag of stale bagels.
And how do know which is the ‘radical’ when they aren’t holding weaons?
Kick the savages out of your country.
