Albuquerque Sunport Airport Being Evacuated (Russian Dance Troupe Pyrotechnics in Luggage)

KOB AM radio | 1/29/04

It was just announced that the Albuquerque Airport is being evacuated and something is happening...not official yet...

[Gritty]

I appreciate the attempt being made to secure my personal safety.

Generally, so do I.

But, the TSA hardly qualifies with a rating higher than a D-. They are feckless in the extreme.

Arm all the pilots... Profile the passengers... Do solid background checks on all the employees and contractors... Stop making my 89 year-old mother and her 88 year-old lady friend take off their shoes and get a complete body inspection while all the swarthy men walk blithely past, barely glanced at by the "inspectors".

But what if????????????????????/ Better to be safe than sorry.

For those who never heard of it ,Albuquerque is in New Mexico ...and New Mexico is a state in the USA

LOL, that should save you some trouble. I once had a long argument with a lady at the post office, who kept insisting I needed to fill out a customs form for a package I was sending to Mom & Dad in Santa Fe. Dummy refused to believe New Mexico was a state.

I was watching the webcam a few minutes ago and saw people with luggage RUNNING away from the lower level.

By the way. Here's the link to the Sunports Live Cam.

Someone with nail clippers slip by those, oh so efficient TSA workers?

I have to call foul on that one.

Of all the airports I have been through since 9/11/2001, my trips through ABQ were most notable due to the professionalism and efficiency of the Sunport TSA crew. They were a refreshing change.

Suspicious package found

[Tijeras_Slim]

Suspicious package, just reported on KOB 770.

Part of airport open.

[woofie]

FBI bomb squad there ...not all airport closed

[Constitution Day]

Thanks for the updates, y'all.
Stay safe!

[CougarGA7]

Hmmmm. Wrong time of year for it to be a mislaid box of Hatch Green Chili.

[appalachian_dweller]

thanks for the update woofie

[CougarGA7]

Cant be too serious if part of the airport is still open.

[Quix]

NO!

A wrong turn at ROSWELL.

Oh, right, that was 1947,

[FourPeas]

a lady at the post office, who kept insisting I needed to fill out a customs form

Obviously supervisory material.

[NRA2BFree]

KOAT just reported that a package was checked in at Delta Airlines and a bomb sniffing dog alerted them to that package. ATF and FBI are there now.

[Quix]

YEAH.

THAT'S AN IMPORTANT NOTE.

Especially for those liberal, intellectual, New England idiots.

Who tend to think we're still chasing Indians or getting hit by their arrows out here.

Now all the drunk drivers Scuba Teddy's been giving driving lessons to . . . chasing them down is another matter.

[CougarGA7]

LOL! How'd you find a picture of my waiting this out?

[TBall]

Man's best friend. Bump

bomb sniffing dog alerted them to that package

Hey! Maybe it's Bumpy!
