I'm at JFK. The JetBlue Terminal was just evacuated

[Renew Deal]

I'm flying to Miami today. I was minutes away from boarding when they announced that they are evacuating the building. It could be related to a flight that came in from Vegas and was "having routine maintenance.".

F****n bullshit as usual.

UPDATE: The TSA Explosive Detection K-9 Team just showed up.

UPDATE 2 (8:35): They are letting employees back in. "5 minutes were going to let everybody in." It looks like the crisis is over. As usual, the aftermath will be worse.

UPDATE 3: Someone said Geraldo Rivera is flyong out of here today. And that he's Ltrying to gin up a story." Also something to do with WW2 hand grenades as paper weights.

I'm in. Geraldo's exploding mustache and Fox News (Terra Incorporated) strike again.

[Lebam in LA]

2. Probably means someone

left their egg-mcmuffin on a seat. LAX has these evacuations more often than announced and always turns out to be nothing. I guess its better to be safe than sorry. Stay safe

3. Could be for Sarah Palin

She took a Jet Blue flight recently. Maybe she's flying them again?

[ColbertWatcher]

5. Wow, I didn't know she was a pilot too. n/t

[MissDeeds]

4. Nothing on CNN yet

Whatever is reason for the delay, it's scary when they bring in an explosive detection team. Stay safe. :scared:

[cayuga]

10. McCain must be flying JetBlue today.

Only someone who was in a cell for 5-1/2 years would be so clueless as to put two grenades in checked luggage.

11. MSNBC Just Reported Terminal 6 at JFK ,,,,

shut down...no other details.

[Renew Deal]

12. The details are there are 2000 people out here

And we mostly think it's bullshit

[CherokeeDem]

16. Sorry you are caught in this...

my fear is that we will see more and more of this leading up to the election. Hope you get back in the terminal quickly and are able to get to your destination as soon as possible.

13. One of the news channels said "suspicious package."

Booga! Booga! Booga! Grandma left her knitting on the floor.

18. People will now be late for their meetings

and that will be that.

[smoogatz]

15. Maybe somebody in the security line actually said "this shoe thing

is bullshit" out loud. Said person is now being "interrogated" at Gitmo.

17. From Reuters:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The JetBlue terminal at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport was evacuated on Monday because of a suspicious device, Fox News reported.

Passengers were asked to leave the terminal and all flights from the terminal were delayed, Fox reported.

The United Nations General Assembly is meeting in New York this week.
