Um it just broke a little bit ago. First I heard of it was less than 20 minutes ago when WRAL talked about it. Not that much known currently.

From First Coast News:

“Although an RDU spokeswoman said two people were arrested as the FBI investigated a “perceived terrorist threat” on board American Eagle Flight 4158 from Jacksonville, FL, to RDU, an FBI spokesman said he couldn’t confirm those details.

“Apparently, about 30 minutes prior to landing, there was a report of a passenger acting suspiciously,” FBI spokesman Newsom Summerlin in Charlotte said.

Local and federal law enforcement officials responded when the plane landed about 8:40 p.m. at a remote area of the airport, he said. Airport spokeswoman Colleen Fischvogt, who said two people were arrested, said the passengers were bused to their terminal.

She did not have names or charges.

Summerlin would not comment on whether anyone was arrested, adding that there’s a difference between investigative detention and being arrested.

American Airlines spokesman Tim Wagner said a flight attendant had “a security concern with a passenger,” prompting law enforcement officials to meet the plane.

The flight departed Jacksonville at 7:10 p.m., the Transportation Security Administration said.”
