While normal operations resumed and the roadways were once again open a short time later, officials from Fort Lauderdale airport said flight delays were to be expected. Travelers were advised to check with their airlines for the latest flight information.

Investigative journalist Laura Loomer reported the suspicious package was actually a box marked “provisional ballot box,” and it was found in a car last driven by a Broward County employee.
