From Times Wire Reports
A strange odor made about 20 security workers sick and delayed hundreds of airline passengers at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
A group of security personnel at one of the airport’s concourses on Saturday morning complained of eye, nose and throat irritation because of the smell, authorities said.
The workers refused treatment and returned to work. Air samples taken in the concourse showed nothing unusual.
The Federal Aviation Administration shut down the security checkpoint.
