Portland Jetport shut down...

Well.. PWM was where the 9/11 bad guys breached airport security. So I suppose they are a little gun shy about electronics in a bag.

What was interesting to me was that the owner of the bag couldn't identify the item in his bag... I wonder if that was just from the X-ray image?
 
Thanks, Bill; you saved me the effort of "qualifying" the situation.

Out of an abundance of caution, they can't ever make us too safe.

No, I'm sure they said "we see something on the x-ray, what do you have in the bag". They would not have allowed him to touch the bag, and they would not have allowed him too see the x-ray screen (they consider that SSI, or semi-classified - we used to call it FOUO).

It was probably a friggin' battery charger.
