BHM shutdown due to suspicious packages

BHM is shutdown due to suspicious packages and it wasn't responsible to leave behind at the gate or ticket counter. I don't see any evidence is being found. I knew it! There is no explosives being found. I don't see any trace at BHM today.

They even forgot to mention "Out of an Abundance of Caution" ^ :rolleyes:


They mentioned that the terminal was evacuated. Is there no possibility of just closing the areas that was affected?

Closing the affected area would be logical. TSA doesn't do anything logically.

They must have been conducting training at airports beginning with the letter B this weekend.

Sounds suspiciously similar to the checkpoint freezes that were going on in early February.

BHM
 

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.
