US Airways flight diverted after security scare US Airways flight 787, en route from Paris to Pittsburgh, Pa., was diverted Tuesday afternoon when a passenger began behaving suspiciously, according to the Transportation Security Administration. TSA is aware of reports of a passenger who exhibited suspicious behavior during flight. Out of an abundance of caution the flight was diverted to [Bangor, Maine,] where it was met by law enforcement," the agency said in a statement. Initial reports indicate that a female passenger appeared to be mentally unstable and claimed she had explosives surgically implanted in her body, according to a U.S. official who spoke to NBC's Pete Williams. House Homeland Security Committee chairman Peter King (R-N.Y.) told NBC News' Luke Russert that the female passenger was a French citizen from Cameroon who had not checked bags on the flight. The passenger reportedly passed a note to a flight attendant saying she had an explosive device surgically implanted in her. Passengers then held the passenger down and two doctors summoned by the pilot checked her for scars. They did not see any and informed the crew she was probably lying. Officials say they're now satisfied that the passenger did not present a threat. The airline, in a statement, said the flight's Boeing 767 aircraft was carrying 179 passengers and nine crew members that landed without incident around noon U.S. Eastern time, according to the Associated Press. The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, said it had scrambled two F-15 fighter jets in response to the incident but gave no further details.
