HOLMES: Parts of Miami International Airport had to be closed and a bomb squad brought in and the person was in custody. CNN's John Zarrella is at the airport now for us. He's in Miami. John, tell us, are things back to normal now? Has this situation been dealt with?</s>JOHN ZARRELLA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: T.J., you can see here behind me it's quiet and that is good news. The airport reopened about 5:00 a.m. this morning, very little interruption to air travel here but it was closed for some eight hours beginning at about 9:00 p.m. last night. Here's what happened. TSA screeners in the customs area found a piece of luggage and saw in that piece of luggage what looked like a cylinder shaped somewhat like a pipe bomb. Immediately other authorities were called in. The airport was evacuated. Passengers were scrambled outside the airport. The bomb squad was called in. And what it turns out to be, at least according to what we were told by a source, was that the luggage belonged to a 70-year-old scientist. Now when they went through and they checked at least first here what that device was no sign of explosive. The device has been removed and taken for further analysis to a laboratory. But right now they don't believe there was any explosive involved in that at all. Now sources were telling us as well, the FBI saying that in fact, this man may have come in from Brazil on a flight overnight and that's when it was coming through and spotted. He was not arrested. He is fully cooperating with the FBI. They told us that during a statement here they gave a few hours ago, and that he was never arrested but just being questioned. And this investigation does go on at this point, but the FBI did tell us it may be no crime was committed here --</s>T.J. HOLMES: All right, always an abundance of caution. We've seen several situations like this at airports around the world. John Zarrella, we appreciate you as always. Thank you so much.
