'Vibrating bag' prompts bomb scare at O'Hare

An unattended "vibrating bag" at O'Hare International Airport this morning caused a brief scare but was determined harmless.

The package was reported to police around 8 a.m., which prompted a response from the Chicago Police Department's Bomb and Arson Unit, a unit sergeant said.

Investigators cleared the immediate vicinity in Terminal 5, where international flights arrive and depart. Wendy Abrams, spokeswoman for the city's Department of Aviation, said the response to the "vibrating bag" did not affect operations at the airport.

"It was someone's property," Chicago police Officer Marcel Bright said. "There was nothing dangerous in it. Someone walked away and forgot it."

Authorities wouldn't say what was in the bag, but police did not have to destroy it, Bright said. The area was declared safe at 9 a.m.

Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

2. This serves as a reminder to all to remove batteries before you travel

Or you can just go the old fashioned route while you are away. I persoanlly would permanently blush if I had to have an intimate convo with TSA.

7. Shortly after 9/11, my partner's bag was searched

while coming to visit me at work. At the time, he was working as a DVD and toy reviewer at the adult website Blowfish. The security guard took one look inside the bag and closed it immediately, sending him on through.
