LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: We are back at 27 minutes after the hour with a developing situation at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. We have just gotten word that there is an evacuation going on there right now. No word on whether or not any suspected threat has arisen there, but the word is that a metal detector was unplugged, and the people who went through it at one point are going to have to go back out and go back in. This is all happening at Terminal 3, which houses American and Delta Air Lines.

If it sounds familiar, it's because the same thing happened at LAX barely about two weeks. So again, there was no problem there, but it did back up a lot of travelers, and that same situation is unfolding right now at O'Hare. We'll keep on of it for you.
