Takes offs postponed. Arrivals allowed, passangers kept on planes. Some planes routed to other airports.

This one says no explosion, that a 'explosive detection system machine got a positive reading from a corroded battery in a flashlight.'

I've never heard of batteries exploding before...but i guess stranger things have happened

the important thing is that it doesn't have anything to do with terrorism.

The way FoxNews had it running, LAX was under attack, people were being blown up, etc etc.
