Gatwick Airport Evacuated Due to Security Threat, Bomb Squad Deployed

TL;DR Summary
A security incident at London Gatwick Airport's South Terminal led to the evacuation of the 'land side' area, including the railway station, after a suspicious item was detected during a security check. This has caused significant disruption, with passengers being redirected to the North Terminal for processing, leading to crowding and confusion as thousands of travelers are affected. Flights are still landing, but passengers are being bussed to the North Terminal, complicating onward travel plans.
