The 12:15 p.m. call came to the FAA’s Garden City office, threatening the East Farmingdale office, sources said.
Police searched the building and gave the “all clear” after nothing was found, the Suffolk County Police Department said.
“Airport operations continued throughout entire incident,” the police department said.
