Alaska Airlines Flight Evacuated Due To 'Suspicious Item'

Not Again...

More evidence of jittery nerves in the wake of last week's terror scare... after an Alaska Airlines flight from Guadalajara, Mexico was evacuated Monday morning after no one claimed a "suspicious item" found onboard the plane.

The unspecified item was discovered on the plane while it was enroute to Los Angeles International Airport, and crewmembers alarmed when no one claimed ownership of the item -- similar to an earlier incident involving a cell phone on a British Airways flight.

"The flight attendant discovered an item and she said, 'Is this yours?' And all the passengers said, 'No," airport spokesman Harold Johnson told the Associated Press.

The plane landed without incident at LAX, where it was then directed to a remote area of the airport. All 125 passengers and crew onboard the Boeing 737 were then transported to the terminal.

Bomb-sniffing dogs were used to determine the suspicious item did not contain any explosives.

"Passengers have been disembarked and carry-ons in the cabin will be screened by canines," said TSA spokesman Nico Melendez.
