Narrative

DURING MY FINAL WALK-THRU; THE PAX AT THE BULKHEAD SEAT IN COACH; SEAT XX; HAD A BISTRO BAG AND A MANILA ENVELOPE ON THE FLO0OR IN FRONT OF HIM. I TOLD HIM HE HAD TO PICK ALL OF IT UP. HE REPLIED; 'I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU; I'VE GOT A TIME BOMB.' HE STOPPED AND SAID; 'I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT; I DIDN'T MEAN IT.' I TOLD HIM; 'YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID THAT.' I WENT BACK TO THE FIRST CLASS GALLEY AND TOLD THE #1 FLT ATTENDANT. I THEN WENT BACK AND LOOKED IN THE BAG. (IN HINDSIGHT I REALIZE I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.) THE BAG ONLY HAD THE CONTENTS OF THE BISTRO BAG. I NOTIFIED THE CAPT AND HE TOOK THE FLT BACK TO THE GATE. HE NOTIFIED AUTHS. WHEN WE GOT TO THE GATE; THE POLICE MET THE PLANE AND REMOVED THE PAX AND HIS BAGGAGE IN THE OVERHEAD AND IN THE CARGO COMPARTMENT. ONCE THAT WAS TAKEN CARE OF; WE PROCEEDED ONTO ORD. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR ADVISED PAX WAS 'UNDER AGE' AND SECURITY ADVISED THAT PARENTS WOULD BE CALLED. NO OTHER INFO HAS BEEN RECEIVED SINCE THE INCIDENT.
