A Southwest Airlines flight bound for Baltimore was diverted to Nashville on Saturday after a passenger displayed "suspicious behavior" and a suspicious item was found, The Tennessean reported.
Southwest Airlines spokesman Chris Mainz said Flight 1307, which was scheduled to land in Baltimore at 2:40 p.m. E.T., was diverted because the crew "witnessed suspicious behavior specifically with regard to one passenger on board."
Assistant FBI Special Agent Keith Moses said the passenger "had used the restroom on two occasions, once at pre-takeoff as the flight was delayed on the ground and a second time in flight."
His behavior prompted a search of the restroom and a "suspicious item" was found, Moses said. He would not comment on the item except to say it was "non-explosive related." Full story...
