some cut wires were discovered in the plane's bathroom

Report: NO BOMB

ABC News:

SNIP

Passengers were taken off the flight in a "controlled evacuation," sources told ABC News.

However, searchers found no evidence of a bomb.

Authorities had been proceeding with caution and intended to interview the person who found the wires -- apparently one of a team of armed federal air marshals aboard the flight.

Although numerous early reports suggested suspects were in custody, authorities said initially that those reports appeared inaccurate.

Someone trying to disable the smoke detector in the toilet would be my first guess based on the very limited and changing information. If I was on the flight, I’d be unhappy about now.
