FLIER CAUSES EVACUATION

HEBRON, Kentucky - The main terminal at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
International Airport was evacuated for three hours on Sunday after a
security incident involving a passenger waiting to board an airliner.

Airport Police Chief Chuck Melville said the man passed the main
checkpoint, but during a random search at the gate, Comair employees found
marijuana.

"He alleged that he had a penknife, but no penknife was found,'' Melville said.

The statement alone prompted the evacuation, Melville said. "He said he had
one, so we have to take it as if he had one,'' he said.

The man did not attempt to flee, he said.
