Budapest Airport - Unattended luggage

I was walking through the duty free shop at the airport when a woman blocked my way and explained that I had to go around and exit through another way. The reason for this was that security found an unattended luggage. All of a sudden the center of the terminal ground floor was secured and there were policemen and some other guys dressed like firefighters everywhere. Passengers trying to make their way to their gate were told to go the long way around. A group of young girls with "Hong Kong China" written across the back of their sport suits became engrossed in taking photos of the incident, which reminded me that I also had a camera in my bag.

I ate my lunch as the events unfolded but nothing really happened. Apparently the unattended luggage was harmless.
