Credible bomb threats on Delta & Southwest flights:

Bomb threats have been reported on two flights recently land at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport.
NORAD fighter jets were deployed to escort Delta flight 1156 and Southwest flight 2492 to the Atlanta, Georgia, airport, the FAA confirmed.
The Delta flight came from Portland, the Southwest flight flew in from Milwaukee.


Threats: A Delta flight and a Southwest flight reported credible bomb threats as they landed at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, on Saturday afternoon
Both flights had landed by 3pm and all passengers were being ushered off as bomb squads prepared to sweep the cabins, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.
FBI officials told WSBTV the passengers on both flights will be interviewed and searched before they are allowed to leave the area.
Airport spokesman Reese McCrainie would not say how the threats were received, only that, 'we believe the threats to be credible,' the Journal reported.
