1. And no flights going in or out of the airport?
If it turns out to be a false alarm, there will be many thousands of pissed off travelers.

I recently traveled to Europe with my CPAP machine, and it caused considerable alarm among the crew on one of my flights.

11. heh it is....


'The New York Daily News cited a police source as saying that passengers pointed out an apparently drunk man to police officers. When officers approached him, according to the newspaper, the man said he had a bomb in his bag. The report continues to say there was a homemade device inside, rigged up to look like a bomb. BNO News could not immediately confirm these details.'
