The German national, in his twenties, sparked a major security response.
Part of the airport was shut down while a bomb squad assessed a device — believed to be a Mother Of Satan explosive.
Photos published by local media show a man wearing a white hooded top being led away by police at around 8am yesterday.
The suspected bomb is also seen in luggage on a security conveyor.

Landvetter operates flights to London Gatwick, Stanstead, Heathrow and Cambridge as well as dozens of other major European cities.
The suspect is being held in Gothenburg and has so far denied the charges, local paper Goteborgs-Posten reported, quoting police.
His lawyer told reporters that he was "feeling good".
Mother Of Satan, or TATP, is a powerful homemade explosive made using over-the-counter products.

It has been used in several recent terror attacks — including the Parsons Greenbombing last month and the Manchester Arena attack that left 22 people dead.
