Chicago-bound American Airlines jet grounded by threatening note

AUSTIN, Texas -- An American Airlines flight was grounded in Austin after a threatening note was found in a lavatory.

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport spokesman Jason Zielinski says the plane was taxiing for takeoff to Chicago with 129 passengers on board Friday when a passenger found the note.

Zielinski tells the Austin American-Statesman to jet was parked on a maintenance ramp, away from the terminal.

Passengers were being questioned in the terminal and rescreened while dogs searched the aircraft.
