The bomb squad has the dogs checking baggage before it goes on any planes.

Tulsa police say there is no immediate threat in Tulsa or Oklahoma; however, they are increasing their presence as a safety precaution.

"We do want to know what's going on around the world, because when something happens overseas it can inspire some ill intentions here and do something here so it's important to maintain that, because it's our job."

The Tulsa International Airport has six bomb sniffing dogs. A majority of them are active during the airports busiest hours
