Federal investigators are probing how a stun gun disguised as a cell phone ended up on a flight from Boston to Newark, N.J.
All 96 passengers had already deboarded JetBlue [JBLU] flight 1179 at Newark Liberty International Airport Friday when a cleaning crew discovered a “suspicious object in a seatback pocket” shortly before 10:30 p.m., according to the discount airline.
“It looked like a cell phone,” said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. “Our police responded, and we did a precautionary search of the plane.”
The next flight was delayed by approximately 30 minutes as a K-9 unit checked for other contraband.
