A 76-year-old man was taken into custody Sunday morning after authorities say he made a bomb threat aboard a JetBlue Airways aircraft at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.<\/p>\n

Deputies with the Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office Airport District responded to a report of a bomb threat in Terminal 4 shortly before 10 a.m.<\/p>\n

According to authorities, responding deputies detained the man, identified as Robert Albanese, 76. The aircraft was evacuated as a precaution while a BSO K-9 unit conducted a search of the plane. Investigators determined there was no explosive device on board.<\/p>\n

Passengers were later allowed to reboard, and officials said there were no further disruptions to airport operations.<\/p>\n

Albanese faces a charge of making a false report involving a bomb, explosive, weapon of mass destruction or other destructive device, authorities said.<\/p>\n
