From the BBC:
"A French man has been charged with a bomb hoax and endangering an aircraft after an incident on an Easyjet passenger flight to Britain. The 51-year-old was arrested after the flight from Nice carrying 130 passengers landed at Luton Airport at 1700 GMT on Tuesday.
He is due to appear in front of Bedfordshire magistrates later on Wednesday morning.
The flight was met by Bedfordshire Police, who had been alerted by the plane's crew, and was searched by officers.
All those travelling on board had to go through extra security checks on landing.
A spokeswoman for Luton Airport said the operational running of the airport had not been affected."

He was asked to put said bag under the seat in front for landing. He said he couldn't or wouldn't because there was a bomb in it. . .Apparantly he was worried about damaging his specs which were in the bag.
