Pilot Charged With Terroristic Threats After Making 'Inappropriate' Remark at Airport

PHILADELPHIA — A US Airways pilot was charged with terroristic threats and disorderly conduct Sunday after he made "inappropriate" comments at an airport security checkpoint, authorities said.

"The pilot made some comments that the [security] screeners thought were inappropriate," said Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Arlene Salac, who declined to elaborate on what was said.

City police charged the pilot, Elwood Menear, 46, of Annville, with the misdemeanors and he remained in custody Sunday afternoon, said Cpl. Jim Pauley, a police department spokesman. He also refused to give specifics about the comments.

The pilot was scheduled to fly from Philadelphia International Airport to Milwaukee on Sunday morning.

"There was no immediate threat to anybody," said US Airways spokesman David Castelveter.

The FBI is investigating and will determine whether to file charges against the pilot, bureau spokeswoman Linda Vizi said.

Salac said the FAA could ground the pilot.
