Doctors eye homeless 'bomber'

A homeless man is accused of creating a bomb scare that interrupted flights at New York's LaGuardia Airport for several hours Saturday. The airport's central terminal was evacuated after the man entered the building with a fake bomb in a bag, then acted like he was trying to detonate it, police said.

The episode ended with a quick arrest, 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.
