[Cheshire Cat]

Jacksonville's international airport has been completely shut down with some flights diverted.  Apparently one man claimed a bomb and was working with another man.   One arrested before making it through security and another arrested before making it through the gates.   Officers are flooding the area.  Click article link for full story.




Jacksonville International Airport was evacuated late Tuesday afternoon due to "police activity regarding suspicious packages", according to a tweet from the airport's official Twitter feed.

Jacksonville International Airport was evacuated late Tuesday afternoon due to "police activity regarding suspicious packages", according to a tweet from the airport's official Twitter feed.

A witness told The Times-Union that he saw at least two men handcuffed in separate spots shortly before 6 p.m., but he didn't know why. A Times-Union reporter and photographer headed to the scene saw a Jacksonville Sheriff's bomb squad truck headed in the direction of the airport.

There have been no reports of injuries or damage. Jacksonville police have blocked off the entrance to the airport.

A law enforcement source told the Times-Union that the incident began when authorities confronted a suspicious man who claimed he had a bomb. A second man was seen running from the area, the source said.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office notified the media about 6:30 p.m. of a "reported suspicious package" at the airport and said they were dispatching a public information officer to the scene.

Paul Harral said he and his wife were in a security line having just loaded their belongings onto the x-ray conveyor belt when he saw a man talking to a Transportation Security Administration Officer nearby. He said the officer called for an airport police officer and they took the man into the security area beyond the x-ray machine. Harral said he next saw the man, who was dressed in black, handcuffed. He said TSA officers told those in line to leave the airport.

Well it apparently takes a bomb to do so.  Not sure that would go along with the new safety measures at the stadium.  lol

I'd like just five minutes alone in a locked room with this "zeljko causevic" asshole piece of shit! Thanks to his behavior the news broke in while I was watching family guy, I was pissed! And I hate the news busting in on tv when any little thing happens. You modernist, safety Nazis need to start leaving the public alone! 20 years ago, this would have not have been enough to interrupt tv!

zeljko causevic is going right up on my "assholes I hate in Jax list" right up there with david daniles and the slaimans.

My first thought was, what kind of person does a thing like this?  My next thought was apparently a guy like Causevic.  My next question is, what kind of a person does a thing like this?  Seriously, is the need for attention that bad?  Talk about a sick mind and the reality is had there been any truth to his claims and the JIA hand not responded as they did we could have seen a tragedy.  As it is this piece of work disrupted lives and expended resources and for what?  I guess we may never know.
