Initial reports indicated the package, found at a checkpoint between concourses C and D at about 4:40 p.m. local time (0840 GMT), might have a possible explosive device, and passengers and employees at the two concourses were evacuated. A bomb squad was called in to investigate the device, and Miami-Dade Police later determined the device was a battery charge, CBS News reported. Air traffic was diverted away from the airport after the discovery, but passengers were allowed to return to the concourses about 40 minutes later and planes were allowed to land.

Air traffic had been diverted away from Miami International Airport after a suspicious device was found at a TSA checkpoint between concourses C and D, but planes were allowed to land shortly after the incident. Initial reports indicated the device was a possible explosive, and passengers were evacuated from the concourses. However, the Miami-Dade Police Bomb Squad checked the device, and determined there was no danger. Passengers were allowed to return to the concourses at about 5:25 p.m. Chris White, spokesperson for the TSA, told CBS4s Brian Andrews that at 4:40 p.m., an agent working at terminal D-1 noticed some sort of suspicious package, and TSA contacted Miami-Dade police. Miami-Dade Police say the device was a battery charger, found during an x-ray of baggage using a CTX machine. Martha Pantin, spokesperson for American Airlines, said the areas that were evacuated were in front of the ticket counter areas of the terminals, and that the actual passenger areas of the concourses were never evacuated. Passengers were allowed to board planes as planned.
