Bomb Threat At Kansas Airport

Kansas City International Airport called in the bomb squad to blast a passengers bag as it feared it was a bomb. The incident took place whilst the ceremonies for remembering the 3000 victims of 9/11 were taking place.

The bag was intercepted at the South West checkpoint and shut down Terminal B while the bomb squad arrived with a robot in tow which aided in destroying the item which was believed to have bomb making equipment inside it minus the explosives and detonators.

The man was taken into custody, early reports suggest the man is a former New York City Police Officer though this has yet to be confirmed. As like all US airports Kansas was on high alert over the weekend and no chances could be taken
