SEATAC, Wash. – A man who apparently missed his Northwest Airlines flight out of Sea-Tac Airport Wednesday afternoon told a gate agent that a bomb was on board. Flight 980 departed for Memphis, Tenn. at 12:33 p.m. It returned around 1:15 p.m.
An airport spokesperson says the man was apparently in the terminal when the plane left. Police doubt the validity of the claim, but the plane was turned around and the man was taken into custody as a precaution.
The man didn't have any luggage checked on the Airbus 320 and made his threat to a gate agent inside the airport after the plane was about six miles out.

...and that is why everyone should be searched, in my opinion.
Now, for the name of “the man.”
