Three bombs were reported in the airport's parking garage about 2:15 p.m. CT (3:15 p.m. ET), a fire department spokeswoman said, the San Antonio Express-News is reporting.

Police have blocked all entrances and exits to the airport,

SA police chief said call states bombs in 3 cars and terminals. Police bomb dogs found 3 cars that seemed to indicate presence of bombs or residue in parking garage. Bomb squad getting ready to check cars.

Airport still not allowing flights out and inbound planes are no going to terminals

Correction: Sounds now like 2 of 3 cars were a hit by the dogs

.

Terminal B has been cleared and partially reopened. Terminal A is being cleared. THe cars are in the lowest level of a parking garage. Sounds like it might be near terminal A.

The call from a man was made directly to the airport.

i wonder if there will be an extra fee for "fuel use by bomb scare delay" added to the fees for baggage...i can see the headlines now..."customers were charged 10 dollars per ticket extra for fuel use while waiting on the tarmac from bomb scare"...."all the airlines involved say that due to the delay, profits dropped dramatically and have to be made up from somewhere, and that would be the customer"..."we (this time do not) apologize for the delay...but we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight experience, thank you for flying (insert company name), and we wish to see you soon"

My thing is, if poeople really want to blow something up why do they warn first? thats stupid. abviously we would find out after everything was blown up. I am sure it will turn out to be nothing. Just someone wanting attention.

I wonder about the same thing. But the fact bomb dogs seem to indicate explosives at cars adds a bit of possibility of some truth. May be just residue and no bomb to proves a point.

News now says 2 cars are cleared.

Terminal A cleared.
The inbound planes that have been waiting are now moving to the terminals to unload.

Looks like it may have been another threat without actual bombs.

Its all over now
It looks like it was a hoax

Bomb teams found no explosives in any of the cars or in the long-term lot and the terminals. Between 1,000 and 2,000 passengers were evacuated onto the tarmac, some waiting nearly two hours in 99-degree heat. They were allowed back inside after police gave the all-clear. Update at 6:12 p.m. ET: Airline operations have resumed for all flights, an airport spokesman says. Delays should be expected.

WOW, that rough, i would be IRRATE!

99-degree heat

Just a summer day in south central Texas. The picture of the people out on the concrete was brutal.

Wondering it this was just a drill sprung on the airport. Found it interesting that bomb dogs indicated target cars but no bombs were found.
