Breach description |
| T.F. Green Airport, Providence |
Screeners discovered a razor knife when X-raying a bag, and the knife was confiscated. However, another suspicious item slipped through the checkpoint. Officials reviewed a video and were able to identify the bag and the passenger but could not locate them. They evacuated the terminal and rescreened everyone. Three flights had to return to the terminal, and about 300 passengers were evacuated for rescreening. Four flights were delayed. [1/27/2004]
