LAX Terminal Evacuated Due to Suspicious Package

From FoxNews, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm, who asks: "Are these a test by terrorists to see law enforcement reactions and processes? This appears to be the second one in less than a month; the last was at Atlanta Hartfield Airport. Perhaps law enforcement needs to compare films of the crowds."

LOS ANGELES — A suspicious item was found at Los Angeles International Airport late Friday and authorities evacuated a terminal, police said. The item was "a cell phone with wires protruding from it," police spokesman Eduardo Funes said. He said no threats had been received.

Police were notified around 11 p.m., he said.

The terminal that was evacuated serves Delta Air Lines, Aeromexico, Air Jamaica, Air Tahiti Nui, China Southern, Legend Airlines and Swissair, according to the airport's Web site.

No other details were immediately available.

Having taken the stand that we have it seems to me that our security is working very well and we are catching people who wish us harm all the time.

Imagine all the similar articles being reported all over the world and as yet we have not had any more attack s since 9-11.
God Bless The U.S.A.
