"An unidentified person called MassPort - the operating entity of Logan Airport - and claimed there was a bomb aboard a plane bound to Vero Beach, Florida, State Police spokesperson Tim McGuirk said in a statement to Boston.com."
"FBI agents, firefighters, and bomb sniffing dogs boarded the targeted plane to search for the suspected bomb, CBS News reported. Authorities instructed passengers that, in order to leave the plane, their luggage would have to be inspected by bomb detecting dogs."
"Troopers assigned to Logan Airport, the Anti-Terrorism Unit, and the Commonwealth Fusion Center worked with our partners in Florida to confirm that the report was not credible, State Police said."

State Police, the Anti-Terrorism Unit, and the Commonwealth Fusion Center collaborated with Florida authorities to investigate and confirm the threat was not credible. No arrests were made, and an investigation into the hoax remains open.
