A Pennsylvania high school student is in custody and has been charged after sending an Apple Airdrop threat while on board a flight that forced passengers off the airplane in Texas.
Apple's Airdrop technologies allowed iPhone users to wirelessly transfer images and files to other Mac users within 30 feet of each other. AirDrop does not require an internet connection. Sarah Rumpf is a Fox News Digital Production Assistant. You can reach her on Twitter at @rumpfsarahc
The potential bomb threat forced crew members to return the A319 aircraft to the gate where the FBI West Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force stepped in to search the plane. The bomb squad reportedly searched the aircraft, passengers and luggage until authorities deemed the threat "non-credible," according to the DPS.
