Albuquerque Airport Evacuated as Security Breached Quote:
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (Reuters) - About 1,000 passengers were evacuated from the Albuquerque International Sunport airport on Wednesday after a person entered the terminal without first being screened by security officials.
"Somebody was able to get past the checkpoint without being screened," said airport spokeswoman Maggie Santiago.
Passengers were sent back from the gates so they could undergo security screening again, delaying the departure of about 10 flights, Santiago said.
