Cargo building at Boston airport evacuated

Massachusetts Port Authority spokesman Phil Orlandella tells CNN the evacuation was sparked by a canine unit getting a "hit" on two duffle bags.

The bags had not been loaded onto a plane, Orlandella said.

The cargo building at Boston Logan International Airport has been evacuated as authorities investigate a suspicious package, Massachusetts Port Authority spokesman Phil Orlandella told CNN.

He would not say what about the package sparked suspicions. The cargo building is not near passenger terminals and airport operations are unaffected.

The Massachusetts State Police, State Bomb Squad, Boston Fire Department and Logan Fire Department are all responding to the investigation, Sgt. Matthew Murray of the Massachusetts State Police told CNN.

3. They do about 20%

Google up preferred shipper program, which incidentally is what ups is.

On the bright side, it's better than zero.

9. I hear you. But, Why would they make actual security the focus?

They don't make actual installation of democracy the focus in our ceaseless wars.

Nor do they make our health much of a concern when they give it all away to the Health Insurers.

But I guess they do need to start somewhere.
