A small area of Philadelphia International has been reopened after a bomb squad determined a passenger was carrying fireworks in his luggage.
The 29-year-old man has been detained and is being questioned by law enforcement.
The passenger apparently forgot he was carrying the fireworks, a Philadelphia Police spokesperson said. The man never made it past security, and no flights were affected.
The man was planning to board a US Airways flight to San Francisco. The plane was not in danger, said investigators.
