Box cutter delays flight from Boston
BOSTON, Jan 28, 2003 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- Authorities
allowed a United Airlines flight to take off from Boston late Tuesday
after the discovery of a box cutter forced the plane to be grounded
and all passengers to be rescreened.
Flight 179 took off for San Francisco from Logan International Airport
about three hours after its scheduled departure time after a search
turned up no other banned items.
Officials said passengers were in the process of loading when one
found the standard carpenter's box cutter in the magazine rack in
the back of the seat in front of her in the first class section of
the Boeing 757.
