An American Airlines flight from Florida to Texas was grounded after a self-described psychic called to say the plane might have a bomb on it. A search including bomb-sniffing dogs found nothing. But by then, it was too late for the flight to resume, and passengers were bumped to later flights. "In these times, we can't ignore anything," said Doug Perkins, an administrator for the Transportation Security Administration.
