Atlanta News: Suspicious package on plane deemed harmless

A suspicious package on a plane that landed Monday at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport “was deemed harmless,” an airport spokesman said.

“It’s been given the all clear,” Reese McCranie told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “The plane is getting towed back to the gate.”

Just before 1 p.m., the Transportation Security Administration told Channel 2 Action News it was checking out a suspicious item on a plane.

No other details, including where the plane originated from, were immediately known.
