Brunswick-Golden Isles Airport in Georgia was shut down for about four hours on Saturday (7 February) after a passenger said he had a bomb in his luggage.

The man reportedly arrived at the airport without enough time to have his baggage inspected. When he was delayed, he allegedly make a comment about a bomb in his luggage and left the scene. The incident prompted officials to seal off the airport and destroy the luggage using a robot to move it to a secure area.

The man has been charged with making terroristic threats, according to The Associated Press.
