A noxious odor coming from a passenger's bag at Boston's Logan International Airport sent four Transportation Security Administration officials to the hospital.
Airport spokesman Phil Orlandella says the odor was noticed at about 8 a.m. Monday in a Terminal A bag room and prompted a hazardous materials response.
The odor caused the evacuation of 15 TSA employees from the room after someone opened the bag.
