LAX Bomb Scare Called Off

LOS ANGELES A terminal at Los Angeles International Airport was partially evacuated Sunday after a man reported seeing writing in a restroom that said a bomb was in the women's restroom, police said.

Authorities partially evacuated Terminal 2 shortly after 6 a.m., and checked the building for possible explosives, said Sgt. Jim Holcomb of the airport police.

By about 6:55 a.m., police determined there was no threat and started letting people back in, he said.

"There was minimal interruption," he said, adding that passenger traffic was low at the time.
