Bomb-sniffing dogs alerted officials to two suspicious packages Tuesday morning at the San Diego International Airport.
The 2-foot-tall boxes were singled out around 9 a.m. in the Southwest Airlines area of the Cargo Terminal, located between the Commuter Terminal and Terminal 1, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue.
SDFD spokesman Lee Swanson said the large boxes were packed with smaller boxes. Swanson identified them as "Amazon packages."
The packages turned out to be harmless.
“We found electronics. We found some cords in there. It looked like a lot of cell phone cases, stuff like that, and some candles,” said Capt. John Wood with the Bomb Squad.
Workers in the cargo area were evacuated, but the incident did not impact passengers.
“Luckily, we didn’t have to shut down the airport. We’re always thinking about that,” Wood said.
