They didn't find out whose it was. It was hidden under a seat.

Kudos to the pilot.

"She lifted the cushion up and there it was stuck to the cushion wrapped in this plastic," Tracie said.

NOT a lost or misplaced phone.

A frantic search began before a panicked flight attendant found the phone in a very unusual place.

"She lifted the cushion up and there it was stuck to the cushion wrapped in this plastic," Tracie said.

Better safe than sorry.

That phone didn't just magically appear. And this is terrorism, even when it doesn't go BOOM. The ROP fanatics do this kind of stuff for four reasons:

- testing, probing, seeing what they can get away with
- screw up our economy. Every time a plane has to turn back, or sit on the runway for hours they consider it a win
- keep our LEOs busy with the red herrings so they're not so likely to notice the real thing
- make our lives as miserable as they can by adding stress to every aspect of our daily lives

Most likely it was not an incoming call to the cell phone since the plane was over the Atlantic. Most likely the alarm clock timer went off which causes the phone to ring.

Cell phones have alarm clocks in them now that their owners can set for specific times - like if they need a "alarm" type reminder to take medication at a certain time of the day.

coulda been a prank by a mischevious employee

Holy cow.

Good for that pilot; he was taking no chances.
