2. At least 10 threats were made against flights this Memorial Day weekend. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is leading the investigation into the threats. Authorities said they received threats against multiple flights, and security scrambled to deal with flights landing in numerous cities including New York's JFK, Newark, New Jersey, Buffalo, New York, and Atlanta, Georgia.

Yet searches have so far have turned up nothing. Throughout the day authorities hinted that the threats did not seem credible, but insist they have to handle every threat this way, as they just don't know when one might be real.
