Holdridge, 53, said the sticker is a reference to a Florida-based punk rock band by that name and he forgot the sticker was even on the bike. But he didn't tell police that.

Traffic was shut down at a portion of Memphis International Airport after police confused a sticker for punk band This Bike is a Pipe Bomb for a real threat.

A bicycle with a sticker advertising a Florida punk-folk band forced the evacuation of a Memphis, Tennessee, airport terminal late Monday afternoon, authorities said.

Police noticed the sticker on a bicycle early Thursday, then blocked streets around the site, spokesman Jack Jeffery said. A bomb squad came from Columbus, about 65 miles away.
