And now, your annual 4th of July travel nightmare at LAX

According to the Times, a man claiming he was a terrorist told police at LAX this morning that he had a bomb, and was going to use it to blow shit up. There was massive gridlock while the police investigated.

The upper- and lower-level roads were immediately shut down after the man made the threat outside the Tom Bradley International Terminal, authorities said. Los Angeles Police Department bomb squad officials are examining a black bag the man was carrying.

The FBI says the suspect was arrested, and they’re checking out his backpack . . . but get this: an LAX spokeswoman wouldn’t confirm that it was, in fact, a backpack. OMG CONSPIRACY! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

LAist has pictures, and an eyewitness report that everything is back to normal at the airport, which, of course, means massive gridlock.

    They should take him and the freeway skateboard dude to a vacant field, strap them both to a bomb and detonate.
