British man arrested for Schiphol airport bomb threat
Everything gets shut down, people are evacuated and the man is arrested.

Passengers have been evacuated from a Dutch airport terminal and a British man arrested after he reportedly shouted bomb threats at a check-in queue.
Photographs on social media show the man lying on the floor as armed offices pointed their rifles at him.
It was not immediately clear why the man had allegedly made the bomb threat, though reports in the Netherlands suggested he did so a number of times. For privacy reasons the spokesperson would not say whether the man was arriving or leaving Amsterdam, nor would he comment on where in the United Kingdom the man is from. The man will definitely face charges after he is turned over to a prosecutor, Mr. Vermeulen explained.
One of the airport’s three departure halls was evacuated for around 30 minutes after the incident, which took place at around 8 a.m. local time (0700 GMT). “We found nothing and the situation returned to normal”, a police spokesman told Dutch radio.

Police later released a statement saying a 29-year-old British passenger was arrested at the scene and is now being questioned by officers. “Security control remained open as it is located further away”.
