A passenger at Avalon Airport in Australia recently found himself at the center of a major bomb scare. According to a report by PEOPLE, a simple screening blew up into a high-stakes threat but then completely fizzled out.
On Thursday, May 21, at around 6 am, the situation began to unfold when a suspicious item was flagged during the security screening process. The Guardian reported that the discovery forced the airport into a partial lockdown. Authorities quickly cordoned off an area, and the bomb squad was brought in to investigate what was inside a passenger’s luggage.
