MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Police searched a man and took him into custody after a bomb scare at the Memphis airport. Officials say an airport police officer found a bike chained outside Terminal C with a sticker on it indicating it was a pipe bomb.
"We established a perimeter around it and had a fire watch in case there was an explosion," said John Greaud, vice president of airport operations. "We had one of our K9 dogs confirm it was not an explosive."
"This Bike is a Pipe Bomb" is the name of a Florida punk band and stickers bearing their name are relatively common on bicycles.
Once FOX13 told airport officials about the popular decal, they said that it very well could be the same sticker, but when it was found it was taken as a serious threat.
Terminal C and the passenger drop off area were cleared during the false alarm. Some flights were delayed.
"That's scary, that's scary," said Dora Rogers. "I really was afraid because my daughter was supposed to be here at six o'clock."
Rogers was caught in the miles long traffic jam outside the airport. She saw passengers take drastic measures trying to make their flight.

Sowwie Tyler. I prob wasn't setting a great example with that comment, but stealing is really lame, and stealing from bike shops is ultra lame.
