"At approximately 5:45 a.m. PDT, Transportation Security Administration officers at Palm Springs International Airport detected a suspicious item while X-ray screening a passenger's carry-on bag. For the safety of the travelers, the terminal has been evacuated and the checkpoint is closed."

UPDATE: 10:30 a.m.: TSA has confirmed that the suspicious item was successfully destroyed, without incident.

TSA Public Affairs Manager Nico Melendez says the explosive ordnance disposal team from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department used a water cannon to "disrupt" the bag the item was in.

However-- it's important to note that the item did not turn out to be anything bad.

"The contents of the bag were determined to be routine items that appeared suspicious on the X-ray image," Melendez said. "At approximately 10:00 a.m. the terminal, ticketing lobby and surrounding areas were given the all clear and checkpoint screening resumed."
