HONOLULU - Flights were being delayed and hundreds of people were waiting to go through security screening at Honolulu’s airport on Tuesday after an active shooter scare. Passengers who had already passed through screening and were boarding flights at Terminal 2 were told to go through security checkpoint again, which was holding up flights. Hawaii transportation department spokesman Tim Sakahara told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser rumours of an active shooter appeared to be linked to a laptop that malfunctioned, popped and started giving off smoke at a checkpoint. Two hours later she was still waiting to go through security. She said hundreds of passengers around her in the airport’s open-air lobby were doing the same.
