Public Safety

Abandoned Bag At San Diego Airport Found Harmless

Authorities briefly closed Terminal 1 at San Diego's Lindbergh Field after finding an unattended bag near the curbside.

Airport spokesman Steve Schultz said ticketing and boarding for United and Alaska flights were halted after the bag was spotted outside the Alaska entrance around 8 a.m. Friday.

All other airlines operated normally, including Southwest, which shares a terminal with Alaska and United.

KPBS has created a public safety coverage policy to guide decisions on what stories we prioritize, as well as whose narratives we need to include to tell complete stories that best serve our audiences. This policy was shaped through months of training with the Poynter Institute and feedback from the community. You can read the full policy here.
