In what seems to be an excessively heightened security effort, a plane was emptied of its passengers and re-screened them for signs of terrorism after a metal box cutter was found in a seat pocket.

Despite all attempts at elongation, there was no sign of any terror, villains or even hostility as all 233 passengers were deemed fit to fly.
