Understand there have been bombings but were any of these threatened in advance? I'm just amazed by the amount of money and resources wasted on clearly non-credible threats like this. Is flying four hours back to Newark really any safer than dealing with the perp at the intended destination? If this was credible, they probably should have diverted to the nearest suitable airport?
