Evacuate Three Terminals
The Associated Press


GRAPEVINE, Texas - A fire door was found ajar Thursday at Dallas-Fort Worth
International Airport, prompting officials to evacuate three terminals and
close security checkpoints for about 90 minutes.

Airport officials say security precautions were taken shortly after 5 a.m.
after the open door was noticed in American Airlines Terminal C.

"So completely as a precaution, they asked the passengers what few there
were to leave and closed down the checkpoints," DFW Airport spokesman Ken
Capps said.

The security measures extended to American Airlines' terminals A and B.
Departures were delayed and the areas were subjected to security sweeps.

Capps had no detail on how many flights were affected.
