(AP) NEW YORK – The central terminal at New York's LaGuardia Airport was evacuated Saturday morning after a man entered the building with a fake bomb in a bag, police said.The scare was over in a few hours, but it disrupted travel plans for thousands of people as flights were postponed and vehicle traffic to the airport was briefly halted. Delays also rippled across the country as airlines adjusted their schedules.
Authorities identified the man as Scott McGann, a 32-year-old who was apparently homeless and had been living on New York City's streets for at least a year.
He had a ticket for a United Airlines flight headed to Chicago, with connecting flights that would have ultimately taken him to Oakland, Calif., where he has family.
