Woman Allegedly Makes False Bomb Claim At Airport
Denied Access To JetBlue Flight, Asked Attendant About Her Bag
NEW YORK (AP) ―
A 44-year-old woman trying to board a JetBlue flight in New York City is accused of falsely claiming there was a bomb in her suitcase. The woman has denied the allegation.
Prosecutors said in a complaint filed in Brooklyn Supreme Court that Rosalinda Baez was trying to board the flight on Wednesday but that an attendant barred her because the jetway had closed.
The complaint alleges Baez told the attendant her suitcase was on the aircraft and asked, "What if I had a bomb in my bag?"
Baez said she asked: "Isn't it a security risk to let my bag travel without the passenger when there could be a bomb in the bag?"
Officials said the flight took off but was diverted.
