Texas Flight Grounded for Bomb Threat

An airplane at Hobby Airport in Houston was evacuated on the tarmac and searched after a flight attendant was handed a threatening note.

CNN reports that the Southwest Airlines flight Friday was searched by bomb-sniffing dogs and all of the luggage was rechecked after a passenger found the bomb threat and gave it to the flight attendant.

An airline spokeswoman called the incident a non-event and the plane was able to continue its flight.

The plane was carrying 136 passengers and five crew members from Dallas to Houston en route to Corpus Christi, Texas.
