TERMINAL EVACUATED AFTER SECURITY BREACH

HEBRON, Kentucky (AP) -- The main terminal at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky 
International Airport was evacuated for three hours on Sunday after a 
security incident involving a passenger waiting to board an airliner.

Airport Police Chief Chuck Melville said the man passed the main 
checkpoint, but during a random search at the gate, Comair employees found 
marijuana.

"He alleged he had a penknife, but no penknife was found," Melville said. 
The statement alone prompted the evacuation, Melville said. "He said he had 
one, so we have to take it as if he had one," he said.

The man did not attempt to flee, he said.
