http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2013/09/authorities_probe_suspicous_de.html

"BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Authorities have cleared the scene at the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport where a suspicious device was investigated earlier today.

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, along with Birmingham police, the FBI, and the TSA were among the agencies involved in the investigation. Lawmen tell AL.com an item inside luggage being screened during check-in appeared suspicious.

Early reports were that it looked like a pipe bomb. Authorities checked the item, and said it didn't appear to be any kind of explosive device.

The passenger has said the item is part of his work. The terminal was evacuated, but was given the all-clear just after noon.

The passenger was allowed to travel on to Dallas. He is going, however, without his luggage which has been taken to the Birmingham Police Department's range. Bomb experts there will remotely detonate the luggage as a precaution."

Luggage was cleared, terminal was repopulated, and passenger was allowed to continue to his destination but they still blew the bag up??
