Two terminals closed at Oakland International Airport...

Edited on Fri Jan-05-07 04:16 PM by originalpckelly

breaking CNN.

Due to security breach.

Man made it past security without being checked, they are searching for him now. Planes are still landing. Hope no one has relatives going out at Oakland.

"OAKLAND -- A security breach at the Oakland International Airport Friday forced authorities to evacuate both terminals, bringing traffic at the busy regional hub to a complete halt.

The breech at the security gates in the Southwest Airlines section of the airport triggered a massive search for the passenger, but when the individual could not be found a decision was made to evacuate the entire facility, authorities said.

Hundreds of travelers have been told to leave both the terminals and loading areas and are currently milling in the parking lot area of the airport. All flights arriving and leaving have been put on hold with passengers currently on flights being forced to stay on their aircraft until the situation is resolved.

There was no ETA on when the terminals would be reopened."

1. Oakland International in Michigan?

It's a small airport, wealthy corporate exec and shipping services are run in and out of there. Not a busy place at all.
