A suspicious item found outside Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday morning created a traffic nightmare for travelers headed to their Thanksgiving destinations. The law enforcement response shut down traffic for a while on Century Boulevard, one of the main arteries into the airport. The item was discovered at 8:40 a.m. at Century Boulevard and Avion Drive. The week of Thanksgiving is typically the most crowded time of year at LAX, the nation’s second-busiest airport. About 3.2 million passengers are expected to travel though the airport during the two-week period around the holiday, officials said.
