ROCHESTER — The main terminal at the Rochester International Airport has been re-opened. It was closed for several hours after a suspicious package was found by a Transportation Security Administration officer.

Airport manager Steve Leqve said the suitcase was found Wednesday afternoon in the checked luggage area of the building.

A bomb squad from the Twin Cities was called to inspect the suitcase. Shortly afterward, officials decided to re-open the terminal.

The terminal was evacuated around 4:30 p.m. People on outgoing flights were taken to a building on the airport property. Incoming flights were diverted until the situation was resolved just after 7 p.m.
