LaGuardia Airport Terminal Evacuated After Report Of Possible Suspicious Package

Not even 24 hours after the bombings in Boston, A LaGuardia Airport Terminal in New York City was briefly evacuated after receiving reports of a unattended suspicious package in the shopping area of the terminal

Authorities evacuated a busy terminal at LaGuardia Airport after receiving reports of a potentially suspicious package in a shopping area, law enforcement officials said.

Officials gave the all-clear about 15 minutes later, and passengers were allowed back into the terminal.

Travelers tweeted photos of hundreds of people outside with their luggage after Central Terminal was evacuated shortly before 11 a.m. Tuesday.

New York City has been in a state of heightened alert since two bombs exploded near the finish line of Monday's Boston Marathon, killing at least three people and injuring more than 170 others. 

More officers are patrolling landmark locations in the city such as the Empire State Building and World Trade Center site, but officials say there have been no reports of any specific threats.
