LITTLE ROCK — A small scare involving luggage at the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport caused slight delays in traffic on Thursday.
According to officials with the Transportation Safety Administration, around noon, a bag going through processing set off an alarm, temporarily halting TSA security checkpoints.
The passenger was quickly located and questioned while the flights were restarted with one flight delay. No one was ordered off their plane, a spokesman with the TSA said in an email.
Security checkpoints reopened at 12:20 p.m. after being halted for 30 minutes. There have been no other incidents since.

I sure hope there is more to this story. A flight delay & 30 minute TSA closure seems like a lot to me if the passenger was quickly located.
