Just after 10:00am on Thursday morning, staff at an airline check-in counter in Narita's Terminal One reported an unattended bag. Police evacuated the nearby area and brought in explosive-detecting dogs. The airport halted check-in and embarkation procedures causing crowds of confused travellers to build-up. Eventually, a sheepish-looking foreigner appeared and explained that the luggage was his. When opened, it was shown to contain nothing more than a heap of clothing. He was allowed to continue with his journey. Just over an hour later, police again went on high alert again when an empty bag was found in a room on the first floor of the same terminal. No-one has so far come forward to claim it.
