An Airport Terminal in the US Was Evacuated After Old and Damaged PlayStation Was Found in a Bag

Easter Sunday in Boston Massachusetts was met with chaos, as passengers at the city’s international airport was forced to evacuate one of its terminal due to a bomb scare.

The incident took place at Terminal A of Boston’s Logan International Airport, where TSA agents found a suspicious item inside the checked luggage. However, the bomb scare soon died down, when investigators found out that the item in question was an old PlayStation console.

According to the statement provided by the Massachusetts State Police, the bomb squad was brought to Logan Airport’s Terminal A at around 4 PM, when a suspicious piece of item was found in the luggage of a Delta flight.

Officials noted that the old PlayStation console’s poor condition caused abnormalities, when it was screened using the X-Ray machine. While the police were glad about not having to face a dangerous situation, passengers were clearly unhappy about it as they were quickly cleared out of the terminal.
