WEST PALM BEACH — The FBI is investigating Monday evening's bomb threat at Palm Beach International Airport, which shut down part of the airport for an hour and prompted the search of a New York-bound JetBlue plane.

My husband flew in to PBI yesterday and we wondered why his flight was delayed. I guess this is why. We didn't know about it until today. But, are there ever really any bombs when someone calls in a threat?

Lots of coordinated dry runs across the US yesterday.

Were there others? I only noticed this one because when my husband got to work this morning people in his office asked if he was there when they shut the place down for the bomb scare. He hadn’t even known about it.

Tampa, Chicago. I’m sure we’ll find out about others.

Just great...I fly Thursday and back Monday. Lovely.

Wow, I just found the Tampa one on Drudge. I’m so glad I didn’t know this before my husband took that trip. And I’m glad he doesn’t have another one scheduled (plus my son and his wife flew here thru Tampa a couploe of weeks ago).
