Bomb Scare at New Jersey Airport - Amy Mills

The creators of a CNBC show, "Staten Island Hustle (a reality show documenting a group of investors searching for quirky products)," were shooting an episode about a vacuum device used in order to compress luggage and free up more space. All was going well until the device prompted a fake bomb alert at the Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) had believed that the gadget was a fake bomb, saying that parts of the device were "indicators of an improvised explosive device (IED)." Endemol Shine North America, who employs the show's staff, issued an apology. Nine men were arrested and charged with multiple offenses.

  1. That is crazy, the Newark airport is a huge airport, and to have a bomb alert is really scary for all the people who are traveling, lots of whom are business people.
