[SUPER=03-Cleveland, OH; 14:10:34 CBS]

14 planes were evacuated- and two airport concourses were cleared so passengers could be re-screened.
By the time security personnel noticed that the alarm had sounded, the luggage and the person carrying it were out of sight.
Officials couldn't rule out the possibility that the bag was brought onto a departing flight before the concourses were closed.
The screening device that sent an alert about a possible explosive at the Cleveland airport today has been wrong before -- but authorities weren't going to take any chances.
