>Thousands of travelers at Orlando International Airport were evacuated from the terminals at peak travel time Friday night after a camera battery reportedly exploded in a suitcase outside the security checkpoint. The sound of the explosion triggered panic among some travelers who thought it was a gunshot.

a gunshot? must be an explosion EVERYONE RUN FOR YOUR LIVES.JPG

>Travelers waiting to board flights from American Airlines, Southwest, Delta and many other airlines, as well as those on planes that had already left the gate and were waiting to depart, were evacuated from the airport to be re-screened by TSA agents

yep pull everyone back from the secure area, even people that are already boarded...MAKE THEM GO THROUGH TSA AGAIN

>"TSA appears to be responding with an abundance of caution, and there is certain to be discussion about whether the response was proportionate

yeah, fuck that, sounds like someone of importance landed at ORL and needed to get through the terminal without any obstruction.
