Classy. Spreading panic for fun.

A Los Angeles woman caused the temporary closure of a security checkpoint at Cleveland Hopkins Airport Sunday after she told a TSA agent that she contracted the coronavirus.

The woman licked her fingers as she handed her driver’s license to the agent, Cleveland police and the TSA said.

The 63-year-old woman was not arrested and criminal charges were not filed as of Monday afternoon. Police reports say the woman could face a charge of inducing panic.

"She's hilarious!" said no one on line at the airport.
