FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A flight at the Fargo airport was delayed for about three hours over the weekend when federal security officers at Hector International Airport apparently mistook photographic equipment for a possible bomb.

Bismarck videographer Chris Klein said he and San Diego photographer Jesse Knutson were preparing to fly from Fargo to Los Angeles when Transportation Security Administration employees found a piece of equipment in Knutson's luggage that they thought might be a bomb.

The TSA declined to discuss the incident. Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney confirmed that a police bomb squad was called to the airport on Saturday and that a flight was delayed but he did not provide details.
