Terminal at LA Airport Evacuated

LOS ANGELES (AP) - More than 2,000 people were evacuated from a Los Angeles International Airport terminal for more than four hours after the discovery of an unknown substance that ended up being dairy creamer.

The evacuation forced flights departing from the terminal to be halted for two hours, and arriving planes were rerouted to another terminal.

The plastic bag containing the substance was discovered in the area where passengers pick up their luggage, said airport spokeswoman Gail Gaddi.

She had no information on who made the discovery or how many flights were affected.

Passengers were allowed to return at about 12:20 a.m.

Same thing happened at BWI yesterday. Shut down one of the piers for a couple of hours because of Cremora on/near a trash can. People are becoming unglued and are not acting rationally.

I work at Johns Hopkins. Since last week, our Security office has logged over 115 calls reporting suspicious white powder: no stuff leaking from envelopes or packages, or even a baggie full of powder: just white powder, like powdered sugar, Cremora, paper dust, cleaner, etc found in bathroom stalls, near copiers and coffee machines, on countertops.

Guess what? The terrorists are winning because our feminized, sue-happy society has everyone thinking irrationally and worried about covering their butts.

This is getting weird. What the hell? Are they mixing "anthrax-like" bacillus with creamers and talcum now? That would really mess people's heads up!
