LONG BEACH >> Federal authorities are still investigating a bomb threat made against a JetBlue flight that landed in Long Beach on Friday night.

It’s unclear if the threat, which came from the now-deleted Twitter account, @SWATTINGSquad, was an attempt to get the local SWAT team to swarm the Long Beach Airport terminal, said airport spokeswoman Kerry Gerot.

“The incident is still under investigation at this time,” Gerot said Saturday morning. She added that it was a hoax.

Swatting is the act of calling in a false emergency in the hopes that it will trigger a critical response. Some incidents of swatting include the deployment of bomb squads, SWAT teams and other police units.

In recent years, celebrities including Tom Cruise, Justin Bieber and Clint Eastwood were victims of swatting when pranksters made false emergency calls to their homes.

JetBlue authorities were alerted to the threat at 7:25 p.m. Friday when @SWATTINGSquad sent out this tweet:

“@JetBlue there’s a bomb on flight JBU1007 to Daugherty field, I’m gonna detonate it soon, watch out ;).”

The threat reportedly came after the carrier offered to fly police officers for free to New York Police Officer Rafael Ramos’s funeral in New York City.

The flight, which originated in Seattle, landed at Long Beach Daugherty Field at 8:03 p.m.

“We had bomb sniffing dogs come out and clear the flight and the passengers and the baggage,” Gerot said.

That flight was delayed as was another flight destined for Oakland, she said.

Operations were restored about 10:30 p.m.
