[Updated at 2:39 p.m.] A security scare at Boston's Logan International Airport ended with an all-clear after the two bags that triggered the alert were found to be harmless, Massachusetts State Police said Tuesday afternoon.
[Updated at 1:45 p.m.] Massachusetts Port Authority spokesman Phil Orlandella tells CNN the evacuation was sparked by a canine unit getting a "hit" on two duffle bags.
The bags had not been loaded onto a plane, Orlandella said.
[Posted at 1:28 p.m.] The cargo building at Boston Logan International Airport has been evacuated as authorities investigate a suspicious package, Massachusetts Port Authority spokesman Phil Orlandella told CNN.

The Massachusetts State Police, State Bomb Squad, Boston Fire Department and Logan Fire Department are all responding to the investigation, Sgt. Matthew Murray of the Massachusetts State Police told CNN.

When suitcase NUKES goes off in 50 major cities around the U.S. at the same time and the goverment is destroyed and the Russian,Chinese and Cuban invade us at the same time because we are defenseless I hope everyone has a nice day.
So, once again, something that was not a bomb did not explode. Wow...scary!! Look at all this hype designed to freak us out...and to get us to allow ourselves to be irradiated or groped by the TSA. Good timing TSA! This is yet another terror scam folks, brought to you by the US government.
Boston is like a red headed step child, crying out for attention... Who the hell would wanna bomb Boston??? New York, Washington D.C., hell, even Los Angeles are major cities with 'REAL' terrorist appeal...
If you people were "on the ball" on September 11th 2001 we wouldn't be in the mess that we're in now... Wake up people and stop scaring the citizens of this country with your false alarms!
Looks to me like Tsa is getting overly jumping you think they know something we the public don't know? Will this security hurt us the people in the long run we could be focusing to much on one thing and missing something that is completely obvious
What a BAD DOG! NO, NO!
Hey, wouldn't it be funny if maybe one of the passengers was a pet owner and that bag contained a few doggie treats for the road. Its not unusual to do that, and my dogs would sure circle THAT bag! All this craziness has gotten out of hand.
Hey, that's my bag! Okay, maybe not, but one things for sure ... with all this drama going on, it's no wonder they went and made a movie about it:

Oh ya lets profile and the the 1st time they suspect a black person who is ligit then TSA would be racist right STFU and let these ppl do their jobs they're only trying to keep us safe stupid azz ppl
Oh ya lets just start profiling everyone and the 1st legit black person that gets searched will be screaming racist right STFU and let these ppl do their jobs they're only trying to keep us safe
