Another One?
A West Virgina airport has been evacuated.
A West Virginia airport terminal was evacuated Thursday after a female passenger's water bottle twice tested positive for explosives, a Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman said.
CNN, et al, apparently are leaving out a few details though.
The Transportation Security Adminstration says a woman is being detained at the airport after she tried to go through security with two vials of an explosive material in her carry-on.
Airport Director Larry Saylers tells 13News a 28 year-old women is being questioned. He says the women born [sic] in Pakistan, relocated to Detroit and recently moved to Huntington.
I don't think the liquid has been positively identified as explosive at this point. But the bottles/vials have been removed for further testing and, if needed, detonation.
Hopefully, this will be another false alarm.
