San Antonio airport terminals reopen after threat
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Passengers are being allowed back inside San Antonio International Airport terminals after being herded onto the tarmac when a bomb threat was called into the airport alleging three packages had been left inside a parking garage.
Airport spokeswoman Nora Castro says flights also are being allowed to land again at the airport Wednesday. But San Antonio Fire Department spokeswoman Deborah Foster says roads leading to and from the airport remain closed while bomb-sniffing dogs continue to search the parking garage.
Castro says the dogs at one point appeared to detect something suspicious in the garage, but it turned out to be a false hit. Foster says they haven't found any device.
Foster says about 2,000 passengers were cleared from two terminals after the evacuation order was called at 2:35 p.m.

I've heard that lunatics will call in these threats because they're afraid they're going to miss their plane, or they're trying to prevent someone from leaving.
If it was a "very specific" threat then the police should be able to find the bomb very quickly.
 @hi61izq Id be curious to know what that phrase meant since even an off handed comment about certain subject matters makes the airports over react at times.
