Not Another Bomb
According to Reuters, bomb components have been found in someone's carry-on at the San Diego airport.
A department spokesman said the screeners found "all components of an IED" (improvised explosive device) in a piece of luggage at around 7:45 a.m. (10:45 a.m. EDT)
They then evacuated the commuter terminal of the airport and bomb specialists began to investigate, the spokesman said.
Good thing they did too. Here's what they found.
The bomb squad was called and technicians examined the item and found it to be harmless – a child's toy with a cookie attached to it, Peppin said.
A little jumpy, are we?
