Fox had a report that it was a suitcase being x-rayed that triggered the evac.

ABC News has evacuated its headquarters due to suspicious envelope. You don’t suppose it was mailed from Long Beach?
Now, I know this is “series” but a sense of humor helps!

Just heard on the scanner that they’ve found the owner of the backpack. This may be winding down, but no one is allowed back into the terminalas of yet.

They really need to stop this business of evacuating whole terminals for a suspicious package, or a security gap.

It’s an all-too predictable way to generate a densely packed crowd, outside next to traffic, in a perfect kill zone.

Instead, clear the immediate area, guard the exits and don’t let anyone new inside. Clear the crowd in place, inside.

Another dry run?

They have cleared the alert, saying it was a game inside somebody’s luggage. Meantime, we had shades of “Apocalypse Now” all morning, steady stream of ‘copters over the house. Can’t complain, as it beats an exploding plane any day.
