MIAMI — A scientist has been detained at the Miami International Airport after screeners spotted a metal canister in his luggage that looked like a pipe bomb, prompting an evacuation, a government official said.
The FBI and Miami-Dade police were interviewing the 70-year-old man, the official said Friday. No explosives have been found. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation.
The man being questioned at the airport is an American citizen, FBI agent Michael Leverock said at a news conference in Miami.
"He's being very cooperative," Leverock said. "He's not under arrest at this time."
Leverock said the man was on a flight that flew into Miami but would not say where he flew from.
The item found in the man's luggage has been brought to a lab for more testing, Leverock said.
"We don't know if a crime has been committed here," he said.
Although law enforcement officials found no explosives, the item was being tested for contaminants, Homeland Security spokesman Nicholas Kimball said.
A police bomb squad spent hours scouring the airport and passengers had to be evacuated from four of the airport's six concourses Thursday night and airport roadways were closed down, police and airport officials said. They described the shutdown of the concourses as a public safety precaution.
The airport fully reopened just after 4 a.m. Friday before the first scheduled morning departures, which signaled the start of the peak Labor Day weekend.
"Everything's back to normal," airport spokesman Greg Chin told The Associated Press soon after the closed concourses reopened.
