PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Passengers aboard a US Airways flight that arrived from Scotland were removed from the plane because of an unspecified threat Friday, and the plane was taken to another part of Philadelphia International Airport to be inspected.

The 157 passengers and six crew members had boarded the Anchorage, Alaska-bound Flight 968 when they were asked by Transportation Security Administration officials to deplane so it could be swept by law enforcement officials, Tempe, Ariz.-based US Airways Inc. spokesman Andrew Christie told The Associated Press. The plane had arrived earlier from Glasgow.

This does not make sense. Passengers from Scotland must deplane and clear customs. Then the aircraft gets security swept BEFORE the Anchorge flight can board...... Was the threat discovered from the GLA flight? If so, why did they board the ANC flight? It may be a through flight number, but still :unsure:

They deplaned the Anchorage passengers and crew at A term to re-screen. Then towed the plane to H taxiway and unloaded bags onto ground. Police screened baggage and plane there. Nothing found as usual......

Except the crew will be called in by the CP's office and they will be blamed for a union slow down.
