LANSING - The recent news of the detainment of three out of state individuals about a potential attack on the Mackinac Bridge should not alarm travelers as the FBI determined there was no imminent threat to the bridge, according to Sen. Jason Allen, R-Traverse City, and Rep. Kevin Elsenheimer, R-Bellaire.
