The package was discovered in the lounge around 9 a.m., according to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA). Airport police quickly established a security perimeter and cleared the area of ​​travelers. Authorities are investigating the package but have not yet said why they consider it suspicious.

The evacuation comes as Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers continue to face pay issues, having not been paid during the partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security.
