Man arrested after standoff at airport

SEATTLE (MCT)— Police at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport shuttled people away from the southernmost passenger screening area Friday night after a man claiming to have a gun barricaded himself inside a restroom.

The man was arrested following a 21/2-hour-hour standoff, after Port of Seattle Police persuaded him to leave the restroom on his own.

No flights were delayed, and no other airport operations were affected. The man was not actually carrying a weapon.

Police aren't sure what the man's motives were, but they said there was nothing to suggest the incident was an attempt at terrorism.

Huffington Post denies being hacked

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A Huffington Post spokesman says the left-leaning news and opinion Web site was not hacked when a Twitter social network feed emerged in its name and began issuing insults with a conservative bent.

Mario Ruiz tells The Associated Press in an e-mail Saturday that the account isn't operated by The Huffington Post but was set up to appear as though it was. He followed up later Saturday to say that Twitter had suspended the account.

Some Twitter subscribers earlier Saturday mistook the mimicked feed for The Huffington Post's own commentary when they were alerted to it by other Twitter users. The feed included mostly unpublishable insults about political and media figures, including President Barack Obama and MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann.
