JFK Airport's Terminal 5 was briefly shut down Thursday as authorities investigated a possible suspicious package, sources familiar with the situation and Port Authority officials tell News 4.
The sources say a TSA dog alerted handlers to a bag at Hawaiian Air check-in in Terminal 5, the JetBlue terminal, Thursday morning. The bomb squad responded as a precaution and the package was cleared within about 20 minutes.
No evacuation was ordered; passengers were just moved to the other side of the terminal out of an abundance of caution.
