Breach description |
Lambert St. Louis Int'l Airport |
A screener reported seeing a "cutting tool" in a garment bag being X-rayed and notified a supervisor. The passenger picked up the bag and left the screening area before security agents had a chance to examine the bag. Authorities described the object as a Leatherman-brand cutting tool. Security closed concourses, delaying 45 to 60 flights for up to three hours. Neither the bag nor the passenger was found. [10/4/2002]
