As of 9pm, Tri-State Airport in Wayne County resumed operations. Commercial flights will not resume until tomorrow. The airport had been evacuated since after 11 this morning.
The Transportation Security Administration reports that two containers of liquid in a passenger's carry-on bag tested postive for explosive residue around 9:15 this morning. A second test was confirmed at 11:25. But a final test tonight showed that the liquid inside the bottle was not an explosive material. Captain Jack Chambers with the State Police Special Operations Unit says further tests will be conducted to determine the makeup of the residue from the outside of the bottles.
NBC News reports that federal screeners found four containers of liquids inside a woman's carry-on bag during the screening process this morning. Larry Salyers, Tri-State Airport Director, tells WSAZ the woman is of Pakistani origin, lived in Jackson, Michigan and most recently lived in the Huntington area. She is being detained for questioning.
A federal official says the containers were make-up bottles, and it's not known yet exactly what was inside. However, the official says the woman did seem to have legitimate reasons for traveling and did not fit any suspicious behavioral profile.
The trace analyzers detect minute amounts of explosive material. But they can also give positive readings on items that have come in contact with fertilizer, recently dry-cleaned clothes, and even hot dogs -- anything with nitrate compounds.
The flight in which the woman was going to board was on its way to Charlotte, North Carolina with a final destination of Detroit, Michigan.
FBI officials are on scene.
One flight was diverted to Yeager Airport in Charleston.
WV Senator Robert Byrd's office sent out this statement late Thursday afternoon.
“This is proof positive that it doesn’t pay to scrimp on homeland security in rural areas. We must not discount an airport or a chemical plant just because it happens to be in a rural state. Fortunately, it appears that an event with potential for serious consequences and calamity has been thwarted. If not for the keen vigilance of the well-prepared security personnel at Tri-State Airport, other resources would have been brought to bear including local firefighters, law enforcement, emergency medical personnel, trauma suites at local hospitals, and the entire public health system. All must be fully trained and properly equipped to respond to a variety of disasters,” said Senator Robert C. Byrd.

LOL! No, sadly they never did get the perp walk, before the lady left the terminal, they switched the live feed over to the local 6:00pm news. You really didn't miss a lot, other than the camera man zooming on the one shapely girl several times, and the chatter on how to set up the "shot that never happened"
I think that was over in Chapel Hill. His parents were from the ME, where ??. He went to high school here in Charlotte.
He was not Amish, nor a Norwegian Lutheran or any other kind of Lutheran. He was not Catholic, nor Baptist. He was not an Episcopalian nor a Presbyterian. Gee whiz I wonder what he could have been? (/sarcasm)
There is also the Robert Byrd tree row, each tree decorated with ropes tied with a hangman noose.
Bobby Byrd was the law and is the law, yall dont forget it.
Stand by for a hugh fertilizer bomb
Four years later, a Ramzi Yousef planted bomb blew up under the seat of a Japanese businessman on another Philippines Airlines flight.
Probably lunchmeat.......
Oscar Myer Bomb...:-)
Better safe than sorry, I always say.
Yes it was and as WhistlingPastTheGraveyard said, the Philippines Airlines 737 was the other.
It's a High Energy drink!
May be that the government doesn't want our people to get fed up and revolt against middle easterners. I know I feel its coming to that, and God help them if any disaster takes place. God please, bless America.
