ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) - A portion of a terminal at Detroit
Metropolitan Airport was evacuated after authorities say a man
walked through a passenger screening checkpoint and refused to
comply with security officers.
The Transportation Security Administration says the passenger
failed to stop about 7:45 a.m. Monday at the McNamara Terminal.
Airport spokesman Mike Conway says the man was arrested by airport
police and was being questioned.
Conway says the man's vehicle was located at the airport in
suburban Detroit, and it was searched and towed.
Conway says security doors were lowered at the terminal between
the security area and the concourse, and people in that area were
evacuated. He says security screening resumed about an hour later.
People evacuated from the terminal were screened again.
