Passengers evacuate plane after finding ownerless cellphone

Just in case last month’s airport scare wasn’t enough, today we’re finding that an Alaska Airlines flight from San Jose was evacuated upon landing “after a passenger found an unclaimed cell phone tucked in his seat.” Both the FBI and Port of Seattle police eventually concluded that the mobile “posed no safety threat,” but apparently, it was worth looking into. When found, the handset “appeared to have been taken apart, put back together and shoved into the seat,” but after all was said and done, no humans were injured, other flights at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport were only delayed for about ten minutes and some poor soul is wishing he / she had opted for that cellphone insurance back in the day.
