A commuter airplane on its way to Houston was diverted to the Tri-Cities Regional Airport near Bristol Monday after a note with a bomb threat was found on board.
The plane was coming from Philadelphia and no bomb was found.
FBI, other federal agents, canine bomb-sniffing teams and local law enforcement were investigating.
The Embraer plane was operated by Republic Airways, which is contracted by US Airways for express flights for the company.
