A Frontier Airlines passenger is in custody after allegedly threatening to kill his seatmate and declaring that he had a bomb on board a flight that had just landed in Atlanta.
“He's in his seat. He is starting to threaten to kill the lady who's sitting next to him, and he is saying that he has a bomb on board,” the pilot told the tower shortly after landing around 5 pm. Passengers were safely removed from the Airbus A320. The threat resulted in the pilot declaring a level four security alert, a signal that the crew were concerned about a breach of the cockpit.
