FBI Seeks Person Who Wrote Bomb Threat On FL Flight’s Bathroom Door

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — Investigators are asking for public assistance in finding the person who wrote a bomb threat on the bathroom door of a Florida flight earlier this year, FBI Tampa posted to X, formerly Twitter.

The threat was made on Allegiant Airlines flight 2006 that was leaving from St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport for Cincinnati, Ohio, on April 25.

“Bomb on flight check cargo,” the threat read, according to an image shared by the FBI.

The threat was discovered by the flight crew while the plane was taxiing from the gate before departure.

The plane was evacuated and, after an extensive search, no device was found, the FBI said.
