This past Saturday morning, an unsettling discovery at LaGuardia Airport’s Terminal B in Queens compelled a temporary evacuation of the area. An item designated as a “suspicious package” was flagged around 5:35 a.m. during the rush of travelers making their way through the TSA screening area. This prompted the authorities to halt all movement in and out of the terminal, as reported by the
New York Daily News
. The terminal notably services major airlines such as Jet Blue, American Airlines, and United Airlines.
With flights suspended, passengers were stranded outside the terminal. The Port Authority police began investigating as travelers awaited updates. Information was scarce, and the lack of official communication increased anxiety. An email to the Port Authority for more details received no immediate response. The situation was resolved when the NYPD Bomb Squad arrived and confirmed the package posed no threat.
By 8 a.m., officials announced that the premises were clear and safe for operations to resume. According to
NewsNation
, passengers were gradually allowed re-entry to the terminal, and those who had successfully navigated the security checkpoint before the upheaval were permitted to remain inside the facility.
