Suspect arrested after bomb threat shuts down BWI Airport: report

At least one person was arrested Wednesday after making a bomb threat at Baltimore/Washington International Airport that briefly halted operations.

The suspect parked their car at a curb outside the airport and threatened officials, claiming to have a bomb inside their vehicle, an airport insider told CNN.

Video posted on X, formerly Twitter, shows an individual being taken into custody.

BWI shuttered the terminal roadway to all traffic as a bomb squad combed through the car.

After approximately one hour, the vehicle was cleared and the road was reopened to traffic.

The short-lived emergency took a hefty toll on the airport’s operations.

All vehicular traffic into the airport was stopped, causing a massive backup, and passengers inside the terminal were advised to shelter in place.

Air traffic controllers briefly held a departing flight due to an “emergency situation,” CNN reported.

The incident also caused the closure of two security checkpoints in the main terminal.

Additionally, the Maryland Transit Administration briefly suspended Light Rail service to the airport.

Airport officials did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
