A plane was recently diverted while in flight due to a telephoned bomb threat. The JetBlue plane was on its way to Boston when they were told to head towards Buffalo, N.Y. instead. Flight 923 had eighty-six passengers onboard as well as four crew members. Once the plane landed safely in Buffalo, it was met by authorities and swept thoroughly.
The TSA commented, “The plane landed safely at 8:25 a.m. and has since been cleared of any possible threats”.
Once the plane was searched and cleared, it was allowed to continue towards its original destination, Chicago. The only outcome of the search was detaining one passenger aboard the plane.
The plane was originally stopped because airline headquarters had received a phone call informing them that there may be an explosive device aboard Flight 923. Subsequently, the caller continued to reveal the passenger who was involved in the bomb threat.
Transfer America warns all travelers to be on guard when going on a vacation. You never know what can happen when you least expect it.
The Transportation Security Administration has recently, in the past year, created a program called the PreCheck. This program allows qualified, frequent fliers to skip the long lines and use the PreCheck lane at the airport. In this lane, travelers will not have to remove their shoes, jackets, and belts. In addition, they are allowed to leave their laptops in the bag.
In the past week, the TSA has stated that U.S. military personnel will now be eligible to use the expedited screening at the Reagan National Airport. As the month progresses, TSA will allow “all active-duty service members and on-duty National Guard troops and reservists” to use the PreCheck lane at the airport as well. These men or women will not be required to wear their uniforms to use the lane but must have a military identification, also known as the Common Access Card.
TSA chief John Pistole commented, “U.S. service members are entrusted to protect and defend our nation and its citizens with their lives, and as such, TSA is recognizing that these members pose little risk to aviation security”. Despite being eligible for the PreCheck lane, all personnel will still face random security checks.
