Code 5
So I am in terminal E of IAH (on my treo)...I was about to step through the security checkpoint when everyone started yelling "code 5"...now nobody can leave or enter...TSA is keeping everybody right by the security checkpoints...any ideas what's going on?

It's probably a suspected object in a bag that looks like something harmful to peoples safety. They take another look at it and do a visual search to make sure everything is OK. Then they let the cows through again!

Isn't that what Lt. Kendrick ordered that PFC William Santiago be given before he was shipped off the base?
