Tweed New Haven Airport operations received an email Friday that said bombs were placed in every airport in Connecticut, according to TSA, and nothing suspicious was located during searches.
TSA said that state police brought in police dogs to do a sweep of the airports and airport operations were not impacted.
"TSA always operates at a high level of security and constant state of vigilance, regardless of world events. TSA maintains a risk-based, intelligence-driven approach that includes multiple layers of security, both seen and unseen," a statement from a spokesman for the New England Region said. "TSA and DHS are in close and ongoing touch with all of our airport, airline and law enforcement partners, and will continue to monitor these situations and may adjust security postures as (or when) necessary."
State police said the bomb squad was requested to assist New Haven Police at Tweed New Haven Airport today and referred NBC Connecticut to New Haven Police for further information.
