Frankfurt Airport reopened after a partial evacuation caused by a French family being mistakenly waved through security despite a positive test for explosives, according to police.
The four-person family was questioned and allowed to continue travel after the mistake by a security assistant, the Frankfurt airport police said on Twitter. Police had cleared some areas in the airport’s Terminal 1 and halted boarding in the incident.
