CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: We have a report, a breaking news story, Leon, that’s just come in to the CNN center. According to the Associated Press, all three concourses at Denver International Airport are being cleared this morning following some sort of security breach. According to the wire that I’m looking at right now, passengers are being returned to the main terminal.
If you’ve ever been in DIA, you know that it stretches for miles on out with the main terminal as its center. Passengers are being returned to the main terminal, so they can be rescreened. The lines at the security check-ins are snaking through the terminal as we speak. A woman, apparently, passed through the security check-in without being screened shortly around 7 a.m. local time up there.

So a lot of chaos happening at a very big airport here in the country. We're going to keep you posted if it’s any more serious than that.
