An airliner arriving at Indianapolis International Airport on Saturday was searched because of suspicious actions by two of the passengers.
Northwest Airlines Flight 1011 arrived at the airport shortly after 6 p.m. following a 43-minute trip from Detroit.
"The activity occurred en route from Detroit. As a precaution, when it got to the gate, they ran a security sweep and their airliner was cleared," said Dennis Rosebrough, airport spokesman.
A search dog was used in the security sweep, which was completed about 8:30 p.m. Information on what aroused the suspicions and whether any action was taken against the two passengers could not be obtained by late Saturday.
A pipe bomb was discovered by two fishermen near a bridge off Lakeway Drive on Oneida Lake on Friday.
Local authorities decided to call the State Police Bomb Squad once it was determined the object was indeed a bomb.
Everyone in the surrounding area was evacuated. The explosive was then dragged from the water, and safely detonated.
Det. Sgt. Mark Bushey said, "The first and foremost is the safety of the citizens, and we treat everything with respect for the real thing."
Resident Craig Rand said, "You wouldn't think there would be a bomb up here. But I guess nowadays you never know."
Officials still don't know who threw the bomb in the lake.
