PlayStation in 'degraded condition' spurs evacuation at Boston airport
Authorities said a Sony PlayStation game console in “degraded condition” led to a Sunday visit from the bomb squad and the evacuation of passengers from Terminal A of Boston’s Logan International Airport.
Massachusetts State Police (MSP) spokesperson Dave Procopio told The Hill that Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents discovered a suspicious item inside a passenger’s bag for a scheduled Delta Airlines flight.
After conducting their investigation, MSP’s bomb squad, which was called in just after 4 p.m. local time, found that the suspicious item turned out to be a PlayStation game console that was in a degraded condition due to damage and old age, Procopio said.
“The condition of the console caused abnormalities in the image produced when it was x-rayed, prompting the screeners’ concern. During the investigation of the object and secondary sweeps of the area, passengers in Terminal A were evacuated,” Procopio said in his statement.
