A French woman forced a transatlantic flight from Paris to North Carolina to be diverted to Maine on Tuesday by claiming that she had a “surgically implanted device,” U.S. lawmakers said.
The U.S. Airways jet with 179 passengers and crew on board landed safely in Bangor, Maine, where the woman was ejected and taken into custody by the FBI before the Boeing 767 continued its journey to Charlotte, North Carolina.
The passenger “handed a note to a flight attendant that said she had a surgically implanted device inside her,” House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King said in a statement.
