US: Arrest at LaGuardia Airport temporarily disrupts travel
A 70-year-old passenger was arrested Saturday at LaGuardia Airport after authorities say he became irate over a $50 fee to check his bag and told an airline worker there was a bomb in the bag. John Park of Farmington, Michigan, was arrested on a charge of making a terrorist threat after Saturday morning's incident at the Spirit Airlines ticket counter. The perceived threat prompted a partial evacuation of the terminal and the summoning of explosives experts. The police action shut down the ticketing area of the airport's main terminal temporarily while the New York Police Department's bomb squad responded to the scene and checked the bag. No explosives were found. Park pleaded not guilty at his arraignment late Saturday and was released without bail. <br/>
