Here’s a disturbing little report in the Washington Post of a discovery in a men’s room outside security at Reagan National Airport: Munitions Found in Restroom.
A cleaning crew at Reagan National Airport found two nonlethal munitions Friday in a trash can of a men’s room in the C concourse at the north end of the terminal.
Airport police contacted an explosive ordnance disposal unit, which determined that the devices, known as flash grenades, were designed to produce only noise and smoke, airport spokesman Rob Yingling said. The findings did not disrupt airport operations, Yingling said.
The men’s room, near the ticketing concourse, is outside airport security.
The grenades were found about 10:15 a.m. Police removed them from the airport without incident about an hour later, Yingling said. Airport police and FBI officials are investigating how the devices ended up there.
