On May 4, a “disgruntled” JetBlue passenger who missed his flight from Las Vegas to Los Angeles allegedly said his luggage contained a possible bomb, a spokesperson for Los Angeles Airport Police told SFGATE. Airport police evacuated passengers and crew members on the flight once it landed in Los Angeles.

“At approximately 12:57 p.m., the LVMPD was notified of an irate passenger at Harry Reid International Airport. The individual had made some concerning comments about his luggage after missing his flight,” a spokesperson for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told SFGATE in a statement.
