Partial evacuation at airport

Friday, Dec. 24, 1999 | 12:57 p.m.

Security guards said a man flashed what appeared to be a badge at a baggage checkpoint Thursday afternoon, then sprinted through, ignoring orders to stop.

Guards didn't know if the man was dangerous and evacuated the busy concourse as a precaution. A half-hour search turned up no sign of the man and the facility re-opened to holiday travelers.
