"Boom" sparks bomb scare in US Airways plane
Thu May 18, 2006 5:18pm ET

BOSTON (Reuters) - The word "boom" found scrawled in the bathroom of a US Airways airplane during a flight from Washington DC to Boston caused a brief bomb scare on Thursday.

Massachusetts state police with bomb-sniffing dogs swept flight 2024 after it landed in Boston's Logan International Airport but found no explosives, said Ann Davis, a spokeswoman at the federal Transportation Security Administration, or TSA.

"The pilot and command called ahead and notified TSA and the Massachusetts state police who met the aircraft and ultimately swept the aircraft using explosive detection canines," she said.

Davis said the writing was found by flight crew while the plane was in the air.
