LaGuardia Airport Terminal Evacuated After Bomb Scare

A man walked into LaGuardia airport at approximately 6 AM on Saturday, with a bag with what looked like a bomb in it. It turned out to be fake.

It is unclear if the man made a verbal threat of any type. However, LaGuardia Airport security officials said the man "was just acting crazy."

The incident started when the unnamed suspect was going through security screening. HE was attempting to get on United Flight 667 to Chicago. A TSA employee thought he was acting strange and called over the Port Authority police, who spotted wires and a "fuse" sticking out of the bag.

The NYPD Bomb Squad investigated, and it turned out the suspect had a bunch of batteries taped together to look like dynamite with wires sticking out of them. The public was allowed to begin re-entering the LaGuardia Airport terminal at about 9 AM.
