ATLANTA - A worker for a subcontracter at Hartsfield-Jackson International
Airport has been fired for hanging a noose.

"We requested that the person be removed from all job related activity here
at the airport and they complied," said Keenan Conigland, senior public
relations manager at the airport.

Other workers discovered the noose Tuesday at a work site. Airport spokesman
Herschel Grangent said the man worked for a subcontractor that had been
hired by the contractor on the project, Archer Western Contractors.

Conigland said Friday he did not have the man's name. The airport was told
of the firing at a meeting on Thursday.

"We are just being diligent and making sure that there are no further
developments along this line," Conigland said.
