SAN DIEGO — Authorities evacuated Terminal 2 at the San Diego International Airport and grounded planes there for more than two hours Thursday after a man bypassed a luggage security screening, officials said.
The security breach happened about 12:25 p.m., according to the Transportation Security Administration. Officials said the man went through the airport's baggage screening process, but then a TSA officer identified a bag that required additional inspection.
This kind of screening can happen if a TSA officer wants to take a closer look after spotting something on the luggage X-ray screen.
