LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Authorities evacuated a Los Angeles area airport and suspended outbound flights for about two hours on Thursday after baggage screeners reported a suspicious item.
The item was examined and found to be harmless, according to police at Long Beach airport, which has only one terminal and is 25 miles south of Los Angeles.
"It has been determined that that it was a nonexplosive device and no one was in danger," Long Beach Police spokeswoman Nancy Pratt said.
Pratt said she could not describe the item that had raised suspicions but Fox News said it was a hand-held game.
Pratt said the airport, which is serviced by JetBlue Airways, Delta Airlines, Alaska Airlines and America West Airlines, was evacuated as a precaution.
Either the TSA has no ideas what bombs are or people are terrible at making them: bags of clay, a block of cheese, a dvd charger and cheese. Come on people, cheese is not explosive.
