Bomb Threat Shuts Down Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Int’l Airport

The closures lasted around five hours on Thursday, while police investigated a suspicious package found outside one of the terminals.

TSA agents and airport employees were the only ones being let into the airport during that time.

The threat caused traffic and challenges for travelers, some even getting out of their vehicles to walk to where they needed to go.
