Houston police said the 85-year-old passenger made the comment as flight 2965 to St. Louis pushed back from the gate at Hobby Airport at about 11 a.m. Monday.

The pilot returned the plane to the gate and all passengers were evacuated.

The man was taken into police custody. The FBI is assisting with the investigation.

Officials said the plane was searched and nothing was found.

The passengers were re-screened and returned to the plane. The flight left about an hour later.
