UPDATE:
All passengers have been cleared at Miami International Airport.
Officials say that during the flight an AA crew member found a suspicious cell phone which no passenger would claim. Out of an abundance of caution, upon landing at MIA the plane was directed to a designated area for further investigation. After a complete search was conducted by law enforcement of the plane and its passengers, no threat was located.
Upon further investigation, a passenger came forward and claimed the cell phone.
No charges were filed and there was no nexus to terrorism to the incident.
