PHILADELPHIA Dec 1, 2005 — Dozens of passengers were evacuated into the rainy night at Philadelphia International Airport by a bomb scare. A bag being checked for an American Airlines flight set off an alarm at Terminal A-East around 7 p.m. Wednesday night.

Fire trucks and the bomb squad were called in, and the all-clear was sounded about two hours later after the baggage in question turned out to contain garlic paste.
