Threat on plane a hoax
Authorities forced passengers to wait for their luggage while baggage from a Continental Airlines flight from London to Newark on Monday was screened for an unspecified threat, the Associated Press reports. Flight 115 landed at Newark Liberty International Airport about 2:45 p.m. and was taken to a designated emergency area, according to Marc LaVorgna, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport. Seventy-seven passengers were bused back to their gate while the cargo and luggage were screened. The screening was completed and passengers were allowed to retrieve their luggage about 4:30 p.m., LaVorgna told the AP.
