A passenger at Oakland International Airport shut down Terminal 1 with an unfounded bomb threat.

The passenger was upset about flight delays and subsequently told an airline staffer that they had a bomb in their luggage, according to a report on Fox News .

The terminal was shut down for two hours on January 31, 2021.

According to the Alameda County Sherriff's Office, the passenger was "irate" over a flight delay. The suspect was arrested after a brief altercation.

"There was really no consoling this individual," Sgt. Ray Kelly of the Alameda County police told Mercury News.

Based on the report, the terminal was closed, and a bomb squad located the passenger's luggage and ascertained that there was no threat.
