Police blew up a device that reportedly looked like a hand grenade after it was found Monday in checked luggage at Long Beach Airport near Los Angeles. KNBC-TV, Los Angeles, said one passenger was detained for questioning after the airport’s only terminal was evacuated about 8:20 a.m. PST. Police bomb experts exploded the device without incident, airport officials said. At least three flights were delayed until all passengers were re-screened at security checkpoints. © Copyright 2005 by United Press International
