Jackson International Airport evacuated some 500 passengers and
employees late Thursday morning after a scanner detected a suspicious
item in the carry-on luggage of a 25-year-old with a criminal history.

..

The Jackson man's name has not been released because no charges have
been filed against him, said FBI spokeswoman Deborah Madden.
Prosecutors will review the case to determine whether charges will be
filed, Madden said. The man was released.

The man misled authorities about his identity, saying he was an agent
with the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics.

"He (the passenger) didn't do anything wrong," Rowlett said. "If he
had made no false statement, I wouldn't have so much heartburn over
it. It raises your suspicious when someone starts lying to you about
this stuff."


Sounds to me like the Security Officer was on the ball and doing their
job.

I find it hard to believe that this jerk was not thrown in jail for a few
more years. Seems like impeding an investigation would be at least one
charge to hold him on. I'll bet the TSA officer was ****ed nothing
happened.
