Transportation Security Administration Director George Naccara refuted initial reports that the incident was terrorist related, and said the passenger was claustrophobic, became upset, and got into a confrontation with the flight crew.
Naccara denied reports that the woman was carrying Vaseline, a screw driver, matches and a note referencing Al Qaeda.
"I don't know what she had on board with her, but we have been told she did not have a screw driver, she did not have any liquids such as Vaseline, and any notebook she may have had, it did not contain an Al Qaeda reference," he said. "There was speculation in the beginning of all those items, but those have been proven untrue."
Massport spokesman Phil Orlandella initially said an unidentified woman carrying Vaseline, a screw driver, matches and a note referencing Al Qaeda had been taken into custody.
United spokesman Brandon Borrman said a female passenger was spotted engaging in what was described as "suspicious" activity, but he could not detail what the activity was.
