Arriving into T9 Friday08/05 a bomb scare was in progress. No paxs/crew were allowed to enter or exit the terminal. No info on this was on the news channels in NY, nor from AA. Does anyone have any info on this? This was quite a serious situation, and it seemed to me that the TSA was very disorganized, and confused. This can't be a good sign for our new dept of Homeland Security. Any info on What Exactly Happened would greatly be appreciated?

An unattended bag was reported in the Eagle terminal section and the Port Authority was called as required.
They bring bomb sniffing dogs as required. Well, this one dog reacted to the bag.

The Eagle terminal and half of T9 were evacuated. NYPD Bomb Squad arrived. The man suited up and went in. About 15 minutes later, the all clear was given.

Noone seems to know what the outcome was.

The whole scenario lasted about an hour to an hour and a half.
