The BBC is reporting:

Unconfirmed reports of gunshots, later described by police as just "loud noises", have sparked evacuations at Los Angeles airport.

People fled the airport on Sunday night amid the shooting reports, with scenes of abandoned luggage on pavements.

Traffic to the terminal was halted and no flights were allowed to land, but operations have now resumed.

LA police tweeted that no shots had been fired and there were no injuries. They are investigating the noises.

    The last time I had to follow a "friend" into a major coffee chain, I was ready to call the CIA to get them all arrested for spying. There's no way I'll believe you need to use that obscure of a code to order a big coffee with milk.
    In retrospect, maybe it wasn't the Newfangled Putin Ruskies, but Evil Black Gangsta Terrorist Dialect. I'm not sure who I'm supposed to blame my ignoramus moments for anymore.
    Sure wasn't English...
