alisyn: a fox news alert. we need to tell you about this breaking news that has been a security scare at jfk airport.ú the american airlines terminal has been evacuated. this is jfk international in new york city. but this has a ripple effect all over the country because so many planes depart from here. a male passenger is already onboard a flight that is on its way right now from new york city to san francisco. that man reportedly left a bag of some sort in the business class area of terminal 8. when people noticed there was just a random bag left, of course they called the bomb squad. so the bomb squad is en route to investigate that abandoned luggage. scott brenner is on the phone with us. what more do you know about this
