• Software glitch caused shutdown of Atlanta Hartsfield airport
  Friday 21 April 2006 – 09:44
  TSA officials have said Wednesday's bomb scare at the world's busiest airport in Atlanta was caused by a software glitch. In order to keep security screeners alert, software periodically projects pictures of bombs and other dangerous devices onto the screen. Shortly afterwards some text is supposed to appear saying, "This is a test". On Wednesday, Atlanta Hartsfield airport was shut down for two hours after that all important warning text didn't appear.
