From CrisisAlert:

"NBC: Connecticut's Bradley International Airport was because of a security breach, police and airport officials say."

Probably nothing, but I just thought I'd pass it on.

You're welcome, John. And it was.

Connecticut Airport Briefly Evacuated

WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. (AP) - The Hartford airport was briefly evacuated Tuesday after a "cutting instrument" was found in a concourse restroom.

Travelers were ordered onto the street outside Bradley International Airport, but were allowed back inside a short while later. Bradley is the largest regional airport between Boston and New York.

Ann Davis of the Transportation Security Administration said no flight cancelations were expected, but delays were likely.

State police spokesman Sgt. J. Paul Vance said a cleaning crew found the cutting instrument in a women's restroom on the airport's new concourse.

"There was absolutely no threat whatsoever," Vance said. "It was a discovery, and as result of that discovery we instituted the plans we have in place."

Oie! Been through Bradley Fields many times for various trips. A nice small little airport too. But I'm just as glad not to be flying much anymore....my wife and I like the drive up to CT more because its more scenic.

I have noticed a number of reported shut downs at this airport lately. It sounds like they may need to review their security procedures or is it just bad luck.
