| Indianapolis Int'l Airport |
A TSA security screener saw a pair of scissors in a bag that was being X-rayed. Screeners wanted to inspect the bag by hand but mistakenly retrieved a different bag, allowing the bag with the scissors to be picked up by a passenger. Officials evacuated one concourse for about an hour. About 150 passengers and their bags were reinspected before they were allowed to re-enter the concourse. Three outbound flights and one inbound flight were delayed. TSA staff hand searched the carry-on luggage of all passengers on a direct flight to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The scissors were never found. [11/19/2002]
