WILLISTON, N.D. - The Willison airport was reopened Thursday evening after being closed for several hours.
Sloulin Field International Airport was shut down Thursday afternoon after a passenger went through security with a suspicious laptop, KFYR-TV in Bismarck reported.
Williston police told the TV station that the computer had wires coming out of it and that the laptop would not turn on when Transportation Security Administration agents asked the passenger to do so.
Authorities considered it a bomb threat.
A person who answered the phone at the airport about 9:25 p.m. Thursday said the airport was operating again as usual. He said three or four flights had been canceled but could not provide further information on the closure.
