DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Let's bring you up-to-date now on what is happening at LAX in Los Angeles, Los Angeles International Airport. Terminal 6 has been evacuated. This is one of the domestic terminals. Police there say that a man has been charged with theft of a military explosive, and that has caused the evacuation of this terminal. Apparently, they caught him, or took him into custody at the screening area at the upper level of that terminal.

Also, a sufficient -- suspicious object has been found, and the evacuation has been ordered. We will be checking in on the status of the airport as a whole, flights in and out of there, and also get more information on the arrest of this man. That's coming up. We will follow developments as they take place.
