(CNN) -- Los Angeles International Airport was closed Saturday after two separate security incidents, an airport spokesman said.

In one incident, airport police were responding to reports of a "suspicious person."

The other involved a flashlight with corroded batteries that exploded in Tom Bradley International Terminal.

Seven people were hurt by that explosion.

Department of Homeland Security had a different account.

The agency said that an explosive detection system machine got a positive reading from a corroded battery in a flashlight.

DHS reported that there was no explosion and that there were no injuries that they were aware of.

The area was evacuated as a precaution.

A LAPD bomb squad remains on the scene.

remember when the bush administration requested to delay the election if (serious) terror attacks happen close before the election?

So let me get this straight. You think bush did this.

1.Planted a flashlight in a suitcase, and gave it some erroded batteries.
2.Let the batteries explode.
3.Let all the news outlets tell the story that "Batteries exploded)

Then all of the sudden american citizens say "OMG, a battery blew in a flashlight, im scared, bin ladens going to get us now, lets vote bush, so he can stop the erroded batteries"

Great plan.

whenever ppl are reminded of terror in their country and are threatened by news reports and stuff, yes, they will vote for bush.
you got tv that tells you youre in danger, you got your packages searched for terror stuff when you get into a plane or something, you got your vans checked for terror stuff, basically, whereever the fuck you go, you are reminded in what a great great threat of terror you are.

.. and then you got a President that says he kicks terrorist ass, faught 2 wars and a vice president that claims Kerry is too soft.

and I didnt know it was just a flashlight battery, but which is the only country in which A FUCKIN FLASHLIGHT BATTERY MAKES THE TERROR ALERT NEWS???
