The PlayStation was in a degraded condition due to damage and old age, according to the police.
A terminal at Boston's Logan International Airport was evacuated on Easter Sunday due to a “suspicious” object, which was later discovered to be a defective PlayStation console. The device showed abnormalities when it passed through the X-ray machine, NBC reported.

The incident took place at Terminal A of the airport where the police said the bomb squad had to be called to screen the item inside the checked luggage. The scare soon died down after the bomb squad members discovered that the item was an old PlayStation.
Massachusetts State Police (MSP) spokesperson Dave Procopio told The Hill that the suspicious item was found inside a passenger's bag who was boarding a Delta Airlines flight.
The gaming console was in a degraded condition due to damage and old age, Procopio added.
