A 23-year-old Spirit Airlines passenger, John Charles Robinson, was arrested for making a fake bomb threat after missing his flight from Detroit to Los Angeles and being required to rebook. According to authorities, Robinson called the airline and warned that someone would try to “blow up that flight” and carry a bomb through security. The FBI, bomb-sniffing dogs, and federal air marshals responded, grounding the flight, deplaning passengers, and searching the aircraft, but found no explosives. After his arrest, Robinson admitted to making the ominous call when confronted with the recording. He is now facing federal charges for conveying false information about a bomb threat. (Daily Beast)
