MEMPHIS, TN -- A bomb scare at Memphis International Airport shut down an entire terminal and brought traffic brought to a stop. One man was arrested and taken into police custody. But it turns out there was no bomb anywhere at the airport, just a sticker on a bicycle that read, "This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb."
It's the sticker that brought things to a standstill at Memphis International Airport. The American Airlines terminal was shut down. Police dogs were brought in, as well as dozens of officers.
A thorough investigation ruled out any explosive device, and it's believed the pipe bomb sticker on the bike is actually the name of a band. As upbeat as their music may sour, this holdup was a sour note for travelers and parents like Frieda Anderson. "It's scary because my son is fixing to fly out to Florida. And I don't want anything to happen to him."
The owner of the bike was hauled off in handcuffs. Airport police turned him over to the FBI. The FBI questioned him and later released him. The investigation continues and it's possible he could be charged in the near future.
"This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb," is a folk punk band from Pensacola, Florida. This is not the first time the band's bumper stickers have made headlines. According to published reports, in March 2006, a similar sticker on a bike caused a scare at Ohio University, shutting down four buildings. That same month, the same thing happened at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia.
