It was a scary situation on one local flight Saturday morning. According to the Rochester Airport Director Dave Damelio, passengers were worried about another passenger, who appeared "jumpy" and agitated. A flight attendant and the pilot agreed and then made everyone get off the plane and get re-screened. K9 units were brought in to search the plane but there was no threat found.
It happened on a jetBlue flight headed to New York's J.F.K. Airport just before eleven a.m. Saturday. It turns out the man wasn't charged and eventually got to his destination on another flight. But officials say, there were some red flags. The passenger paid for his ticket in cash and didn't have any luggage.
