#1 From foxnews.com: A liquid leaked from an unclaimed bag Wednesday inside the Fort Wayne International Airport (search), causing some workers to report feeling ill and prompting authorities to halt passenger service. The owner of the bag told FBI agents that the substance was a liquid used in making perfume, said Tory Richardson, the airport's executive director. Tests were being conducted to determine whether that account was correct. "It appears as though he's cooperating," Richardson said of the bag's owner. |
