LaGuardia Airport evacuated
3/22/2003 6:22 AM By: Capital News 9 web staff
The central terminal of LaGuardia Airport was evacuated.
It happened Friday when a gas mask and white powder were found in an Israeli woman's bag.
She was travelling from Israel to Texas.
The first test came up positive for anthrax, but a second test proved negative.
The Port Authority for New York and New Jersey eventually cleared the bag.
The American Airlines ticket counter and one of the airport food courts were closed during the investigation.
An airline spokesman said the incident had no "operational impact on American Airlines."

LaGuardia Powder Incident
NEW YORK (AP) - Six LaGuardia airport baggage screeners were decontaminated and part of a terminal was evacuated after a vial of white powder was discovered in a piece of luggage checked by a woman heading to Dallas, authorities said.
Hazmat teams determined the substance in the vial was not harmful, but the screeners were decontaminated as a precaution, according to Heather Rosenker, a spokeswoman for the Transportation Security Administration.
The vial was found during a hand search of the luggage, prompting Port Authority police to rope off part of the terminal near the ticketing counter, as well as a nearby food court.
The woman who checked the bag had boarded the American Airlines flight to Dallas before law enforcement officials could reach her for questioning, Rosenker said.
The plane landed at about 1:45 p.m.
CST.
The FBI in Dallas did not immediately return a call.

Fri Mar 21, 5:02 PM ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A suspicious powdery substance was discovered at LaGuardia Airport on Friday, causing a brief evacuation of the main terminal, authorities said.
The substance was not identified, but it was deemed not hazardous, Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Heather Rosenker said.
The substance was discovered about 1 p.m. during the search of a woman's handbag at an American Airlines section of the terminal, said a police spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the city's airports.
The TSA spokeswoman said no one was injured but several baggage screeners were decontaminated as a precaution.
Ten people who complained of feeling sick were treated at the scene "as a precautionary measure," said Frank McCartney, a spokesman for the Office of Emergency Management.
Normal operations at the terminal resumed about an hour later, the Port Authority said.

Suspicious Substance Probed At LaGuardia
By Joshua Robin Staff Writer
March 21, 2003, 2:42 PM EST
Part of a ticketing area at LaGuardia Airport was
evacuated Friday after a piece of checked luggage containing a gas mask and a cylinder filled with a white powder tripped an alarm on an X-ray machine in a nearby baggage screening room, said Tom Wilkins, deputy federal security director of the Transportation Security Administration.
Wilkins said that at about 12:15 p.m. screeners near the D ticketing area were X-raying the luggage belonging to a passenger on American Airlines Flight 721 when an alarm tripped, signifying the luggage should be checked by hand.
Wilkins would not say what tripped the alarm, but he said a screener found a plastic bag containing a gas mask and a nine-inch cylinder filled with a white powder inside the luggage.
A screener alerted authorities, who immediately quarantined the area, the Wilkins said.
Initial tests for anthrax were negative, but the tube was taken away for further examination and testing by Port Authority officers.
Six Tranportation Security employees were immediately decontaminated at the scene, but Wilkins said, "There's no evidence of any infection."
The baggage screening area, a narrow room with a mock wall, was also decontaminated by Port Authority officers.
Wilkins said one screener reported a red rash on one of her hands after the incident, which he said may or may not be related to the powder.
The screener was treated with alcohol and not taken to the hospital, Wilkins said.
He said the rash could have been caused by the latex gloves the screener was wearing.
"All my screeners are alert and they do an excellent job," Wilkins said.
The terminal was not closed, but about half of the ticketing area around the baggage screening room was roped off.
There were no flight delays.
The owner of the bag had already departed on a flight bound for Dallas-Fort Worth.
Wilkins said the passenger would be met in Texas by officials, including members of the FBI.
Asked why the passenger took off without the bag, Wilkins said it's not that unusual.
The incident brought dozens of fire, police and emergency personnel and triggered a storm or rumors in the airport, including one that a handler had a convulsion and another than three baggage handlers were injured.
Those are just rumors, Wilkins said.
Steve Traveras, a baggage checker, said he saw a rush of emergency vehicles when the incident happened.
"I didn't run, but I went away as fast as I could.
" An hour later he was back on his shift.
Mickey Bennett, 45, a marketing/research professional from Port Washington, said, "If it were that big of a deal, this place would have been evacuated."
Chuck Bicco, 68, of Denver, arrived on a United Flight and saw the fire trucks.
"With the heightened security I just thought it was par for the course but obviously it isn't."
Asked if he was scared to be in New York, he said, "No, I don't sweat terrorists or anything like that . If it happens it's going to happen."

NY airport screeners decontaminated
03/21/2003
By TERRI LANGFORD / The Dallas Morning News
Six federal screeners at New York’s LaGuardia Airport had to be decontaminated after coming into contact with a vial inside a suitcase of a Dallas-bound American Airlines’ passenger.
Although the vial was found to be carrying a non life-threatening powder, both a baggage room and the screeners were decontaminated as a security precaution, said Heather Rosenker, a spokeswoman for the Transportation Security Administration.
The passenger was headed to Dallas after traveling in the Middle East where she been carrying a gas mask.
The powdered substance in her bag was a type of talc use to help seal a gas mask against the face, according to Lori Bailey, FBI spokeswoman in Dallas.
The incident began at about 11:30 a.m., Dallas time.
Shortly after a female passenger checked her suitcase at the American Airlines ticket counter at LaGuardia, TSA screeners searched the bag.
During the search, a vial containing a powdered substance was found.
Local hazardous material officials were called, and they tested the substance.
Although they could not determine what the powder was, they determined it was not hazardous and the bag was allowed aboard Dallas- bound American Flight 721.
Once the passenger arrived at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, she was questioned and the local FBI office verified that she checked out.
