There was "no early indication of terrorism," however, a federal law enforcement official said. A bomb squad was dispatched to the scene, said Philadelphia police spokeswoman Christine O'Brien. The man never got on a plane, as he was stopped by Transportation Security Administration agents, O'Brien said. The incident occurred at 5:46 a.m. at a TSA checkpoint serving terminals D and E, said Victoria Lupica, spokeswoman for Philadelphia International Airport. The checkpoint was closed down immediately after the item was detected, and passengers were diverted to terminal C, she said. The checkpoint reopened at 6:18 a.m., and normal airport operations resumed, she said. Aircraft operations were not affected, Lupica said. The man was undergoing questioning by police, she added.
