LaGuardia Evacuated; Fake Bomb Found

The main terminal at New York's LaGuardia Airport was evacuated this morning, stranding hundreds of passengers, after a man entered the building with a fake bomb in a bag, the AP reports. The terminal was evacuated at around 5:30am after the man approached security in the airport's C concourse. It wasn't clear if the man made a threat, but security officials said he "was just acting crazy." The man's name was not released.

The device in the man's bag was a few batteries and wires, but it was not dangerous, police said. Police later reopened the main terminal, and passengers began re-entering shortly before 9am. It was not immediately clear how many flights were delayed or canceled by the evacuation. (More LaGuardia Airport stories.)
