The Bakersfield Californian newspaper reported the two TSA workers were exposed to fumes from a bottle found in a passenger’s luggage. The paper said that the contents of the bottle tested positive for the explosive TNT, prompting the evacuation.

(From the story towards the end) I note they did not give the NAME of the person arrested

It is a very small one next to a private airport. We entered early one morning a few months ago and thought the place was closed.
