Just after 6:00 this morning parts of Terminal 2 at LAX were evacuated following reports of bomb in the building.

Within an hour the police had conducted a full search of the area and determined there were no explosives and re-opened the terminal to passengers and employees.

LAX keeps making headlines these days: Toy grenades cause panic, airlines cancel multiple flights, and runway incidents have had us talking a lot about our airport.
