A woman has been arrested at Newcastle Airport after telling check-in staff she had a bomb in her luggage.
It comes after British student Samantha Marson, 21, was arrested at Miami airport after joking with staff she had three bombs in her bag.
The 48-year-old arrived late at Newcastle Airport for an easyJet flight to Paris and became aggressive when told she could not catch the plane.
The woman, who comes from South Tyneside, made threats towards staff that she had a bomb in her luggage, a Northumbria Police spokeswoman said.
She is being questioned this afternoon by officers.
Marson faces 15 years in a US court if convicted.
She later admitted her remarks were “the most stupid thing in the world ever”.

They were referring to the previous bomb joker, the 21 year old arrested in Florida, as the one that was facing 15 years in prison.
Will these bomb joking morons ever learn?

Why would she spend 15 years in a US “court” ?
I think Sky News made a mistake,’15 years in a US “prison”
