Latest reports from CNN & BBC etc say the suspect fled after being challenged, and the UAL terminal has been evacuated.

Have heard that some fella has barricaded himself in the toilets. There were also rumours that he had trace elements of explosives on his shoes.

I thought "SFO Evacuated" was going to be about a Senior First Officer having a dump.

in all probability, the guy had walked on grass or soil that had recently been fertlized. fertlizer often has nitrate in it... so it goes when you are detecting a few parts per billion.
