Something smells at MIA
Just heard on CNN that concourses F&G at MIA have been closed as the TSA smelt something bad coming from a piece of baggage. The bomb squad are on their way. No news link yet.

So next time I find I'm stuck next to someone with awful BO in the gate area, should I tell someone from the TSA that there is a "strong and unpleasant odor" coming from that person's bags?
