TRAVERSE CITY -- Security crews are on scene at Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City, after a man from California claims to have a bomb on the United Express flight from Chicago.
Officials tell 7 & 4 News the passenger was locked in the bathroom saying he had an explosive device. The suspect was arrested when the plane landed and all other passengers are safe. A bomb sniffing dog is being brought in to check the plane.
Officials are interviewing the flight crew and passengers at this time. When the interviews are complete the suspect will be taken to the Traverse City Police Department.
7 & 4 News is on the scene and will bring more information as details are released.
On second thought-— Maybe it’s Michael Moore. He lives just up the road...
“Maybe it’s Michael Moore”
United Express uses small, regional planes.
Moore wouldn’t fit in one of those lavatories.
It wasn’t literally a bomb. Just an explosive case of the trots.
Moore was born and raised in Michigan...Charlie Manson was born and raised in Ohio....Barbara Boxer from NY...Etc, etc.. etc.
The group to be profiled at the time was Canadian hockey players/fans.
I believe we still have idiots out there who do not take the terrorist threat seriously.

Starting with the Commander in Chief.
Hey, shouldn’t we be out on Garfield Avenue, begging for money? Or at least setting up media interviews about how this has traumatized us? I mean, I’m sure that plane flew over my house.
(stupid terrorist-wanna-be, he was probably on a commuter jet, holding 18 passengers!)

“Traverse City — former home of the Northern Michigan Asylum. Closed in 1989.”
Now called The Village at Grand Traverse Commons....very impressive I must say. Love eating at Stellas and sitting in the “dungeon”.
Isn’t it fun to run around the State Hospital LEGALLY?! LOL!
another day,another “disruptive passenger”
some people need to start getting their arses kicked by fellow, NORMAL, passnegers.
REAGAN’s FAULT!!!
Local update: per Sheriff and airport control: 11 passengers, 3 crew...28 yr old Calif resident, bomb dog, article in bathroom, but no explosives onboard. Airport closed for 30 mins, this whole incident, from report to final press conference: 3.5 hours. That’s the way we do it here, we have other things to do, it’s not snowing, it’s supposed to get into the 40’s this weekend, we’re getting reading to pollute the atmosphere with our snowmachines and cross country skis and skating!
Beat him to a pulp.

Yes, especially after a stopover at Left Foot Charleys.
