CHICAGO, Aug 2 (Reuters) – The Transportation Security

Administration temporarily suspended passenger screening in one

part of Chicago O’Hare International Airport Thursday afternoon

to allow agents to conduct a “suspicious activity”

investigation, but nothing dangerous was found.

The TSA closed its security checkpoint at Terminal 2 but did

not evacuate the facility, which remained open to inbound and

outbound flights during the investigation, said Gregg

Cunningham, spokesman for the Chicago Department of Aviation.

Nothing dangerous was found and terminal operations returned

to normal as of about 4 p.m. local time, according to another

Chicago Department of Aviation spokeswoman, Karen Pride.

O’Hare is one of the world’s busiest airports.
