Airport closure due to a suspicious package in a security area

Over-reaction or not? I would have thought that there was no need to divert incoming traffic, which could have parked remotely after landing. But the police and "authorities" seem ready to take an ultra safety-first approach when it comes to closing roads and airports. This happened yesterday at EDI.

But I am not a policeman or a security professional. Could someone explain the reasons for the closure?
