News just reporting now, but it has gone on for a couple hours. One report has the airport opening now. (not sure how accurate that is)

If you like your air travel, you will be able to keep your air travel. Period.

If you like your "freedom of movement", you will be able to keep your "freedom of movement". Period.

Americans now live in fear of packages. Call out the bomb squad! Use all those expensive toys we paid for!

I have yet to see a package actually be suspicious, at least in our country.

No one except the IRA announces that there is a bomb.

Always false.

The hoaxters have been handed incredible power due to the authomatic “EVACUATE” response.

The airport says on its Facebook page that “ law enforcement officials are responding
to a threat received around 4pm ( Central time) The terminal has been evacuated” .
The FBI’s bomb techs and Joint Terrorism Task Force are working with the Birmingham
Police Department and airport authority to try and “ resolve the situation”. There
are also reports of a suspicious package found in the airport.
