GRAPEVINE, Texas A suspicious device found today in a piece of luggage led to an evacuation of part of one terminal at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

There are no reports of anyone hurt.

Authorities say the item was discovered this afternoon during a routine baggage screening.

Airport officials say the device, which resembles a pipe, was discovered during screening at Terminal C, near Gate 21.

The area was evacuated, as a precaution, and a perimeter has been set up.

I once smuggled a lightsaber through DFW. It probably resembled a pipe, too.

Just as a side note, DFW is one of the few airports to maintained their common sense following Sept. 11th. They actually allow and encourage plane spotters/photographers and even have an area setup just for that purpose. Most other airports are happy to arrest people if they photograph airliners.

The bag was dropped off for required screening by a passenger, who then boarded a plane to Philadelphia, Mangana said.

“[The passenger] is currently on board the plane and does not know his luggage was detained,” Mangana said. “Officials will be in Philadelphia when they arrive for questioning.”

D/FW’s Mobile Command Post and bomb squad were called in for further investigation. A robot was used to remove the bag and place it into a containment vessel.

The vessel will be transported to a range on airport grounds for further investigation, Mangana said.
