We can add this one to that list of unusual happenings....
Miami airport checkpoint closed after security officers get ill
A security checkpoint at Miami International Airport was shut down Saturday when six federal workers became ill, officials said.
The six Transportation Security Administration employees complained of vomiting Saturday afternoon, but only two were transported to a hospital, said TSA spokeswoman Lauren Stover. Their names were not released.
The checkpoint remained closed late Saturday, and Miami-Dade County fire rescue was to perform air quality tests before it could be reopened.
Flights were not affected, but hundreds of passengers were diverted to another checkpoint. American Airlines, which uses Concourse D, reported no flight delays.
It is the FOURTH TIME a concourse has been closed after security screeners became sick at Miami's airport in recent months. On April 7, 36 TSA employees were taken to hospitals after a strange odor caused some of them to suffer eye irritations and nausea.

So many unusual things happening these days that it's hard to keep up.
