CHICAGO (CBS 2) {{{A United Express}}} flight which orginated from Chicago's O'Hare Airport was grounded in Omaha Friday after a security scare.

United Spokesperson Jeff Green said that the United Express flight departed from O'Hare Airport at about 9:00 a.m. Friday morning and arrived around 10:00 a.m. in Omaha.

Green says orginally there had been a report that putty was found with wires sticking out in a lavoratory.

The plane was searched by the F.B.I. and the T.S.A. and the substance was determined to be harmless, but as a result at least one flight was cancelled and several others have been delayed.

The plane has been cleared by the government to resume flying.
