There was a brief scare at Newark Airport when a suspicious package was found in a returned rental car Saturday. 

Authorities were forced to evacuate the Budget Rental Car building but it turned out to be a training device that looked like a real bomb. 

Port Authority Police say a man who worked for a company that builds robots for bomb detonation, accidentally left it in the car before boarding a flight to Boston. 

Massachusetts State Police questioned him when he arrived in Boston and determined that the device was not a threat.
