Jacksonville International Airport in Florida was evacuated after authorities found two suspicious packages. \"At this point, we\'ve gotten an all-clear in the terminal and our garages and our surface lots,\" Jacksonville Airport Authority spokesman Michael Stewart told reporters. \"We erred on the side of caution in terms of doing whatever\'s necessary to make sure that everybody is safe,\" he said. The police had found a suspicious package in the terminal and another in a parking garage. The evacuation had an impact on flights, with some arriving aircraft diverted and some passengers taken from planes already on the ground to hotels. The FBI is assisting in an ongoing investigation.
