JUDY WOODRUFF, CNN ANCHOR: Some breaking news from Dallas-Fort Worth in Texas. The airport there, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, has seen the evacuation of three concourses after a security official said a man bolted through security as he was being processed at a passenger checkpoint.
There is a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration who says the man slipped through somewhere into Concourse A. And he said officials are shutting down, evacuating and then rescreening everyone in Concourses A, B and C. They say the agents tried to detain the man, but -- quote -- "he just kept going." DFW is the country's third busiest airport.
