The bomb threat was reported around 8.15pm and authorities discovered a suspicious package, according to the San Francisco Police Department. Investigators at the airport “deemed the item possibly incendiary.” A man was taken into custody but other details were not immediately available.
The terminal was evacuated “out of an abundance of caution,” police said. Hundreds of travelers were forced to leave the terminal.
