WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: Now we have some breaking news to report. A United Airlines plane has been delayed at Boston's Logan Airport because of what's described as a security breach. Passengers and crewmembers aboard United Flight 179 have been removed from the plane so they can be re-screened before the plane takes off for San Francisco.
A United spokesman would not reveal the nature of the security breach and would not say whether anyone has been detained. The Transportation and Security Administration Agency reports that a passenger found a box cutter on the plane.

We're going to continue to follow this story. You're looking at live pictures from Logan Airport in Boston. Once we get some more information on this potentially disturbing story we'll bring it to you of course immediately.
