KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A flight that was on its way to New York from California, has since resumed after making an emergency landing at KCI Airport, after a suspicious object found on board, turned out to be a USB flash drive.
American Airlines Flight #24 from San Francisco, California, was on its way to the John F.

A passenger had discovered what was being called a suspicious looking object inside of a bathroom on the plane.
The crew made the landing as a precaution to the 227 people that were on-board. Passengers were bused from the plane to the terminal.
