BAD JOKE PROMPTS ALASKA AIRPORT EVACUATION
Anchorage,Alaska : The main terminal of Anchorage's largest airport was evacuated Sunday after a man made comments about a bomb, which he later said were meant to be taken as a joke.
Police at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport took the matter seriously and arrested Peter Friesema on charges of making terroristic threats and disorderly conduct. Friesema was jailed at the Anchorage Correctional Complex with bail set at $5,000, airport manager John Parrott said by email.
The incident began shortly after midnight. A man checking in for an Alaska Airlines flight "made a statement about a bomb in a bag," Parrott told the Anchorage Daily News."That caused us and the airlines, the TSA, the airport police, to have to evacuate the building, the terminal," he said.
