United Airlines Flight Returns Honolulu After Bathroom Security Concern

A United Airlines flight from Honolulu to Los Angeles was forced to return to Honolulu after a potential security threat was found written on a lavatory mirror. The Boeing 777, carrying 339 passengers and 10 crew members, made a sharp turn back about an hour and a half after takeoff, prompting a thorough security sweep by law enforcement upon landing. Passengers reported that the message was a bomb threat, although authorities have not disclosed any further details or found any suspicious materials. The incident followed a similar security concern earlier that day involving a bomb threat on a Hawaiian Airlines flight departing San Diego for Honolulu, which resulted in a passenger's arrest. United Airlines is rebooking affected passengers on later flights, emphasizing customer safety and cooperation with authorities. The FBI and local police are involved in the investigation, but no suspects have been publicly identified.
