BHM was evacuated since there is a valet car service that parks cars up by the WN/UA/DL ticket counter on the C concourse. A parking attendant received a call to move a package in a car from the passenger seat to the glove compartment. THe tenant was suspicious and called police. TSA/FBI/BHM police responded; however, the C concouse (airlines above) were shut down.

BHM Airport Authority never informed any of the other airlines on the B concourse what was going on and also would not let any passengers leave.

The valeted cars' owner was already on their flight when this was going on.

Several flights were diverted/delayed (I know that DL was running their flights delayed) but could never find any truth to this.

This was *NOT* at the checkpoint, nor a breach of security. This was on the departures level of the airport in front of the ticket counters.
