Temporary halt of movement at SEA 4/25/19
All movement (as in passenger traffic) in the A gates at SEA was halted today for about 10 minutes. Anyone know any details?
We were not allowed past A1 going to A3. TSA and Sea Tac police were very vague as to the reason why... frustrating both passengers and DL employees.
Twitter was fast to protect us on a later connection, but was not needed as movement resumed shortly thereafter.

the TSA checkpoint exit is near A3/A4; passengers access the train to/from the South Satellite by escalators near A6

My guess is that TSA/police thought there was some suspicious item at security checkpoint 2, or maybe thought someone got through the checkpoint without going through a scanner, and held people off from going nearby until they sorted it out
