Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas (Google Maps).
Police in Texas are searching for a woman suspected of making a false bomb threat to an airport, accusing her ex-boyfriend of planning to “shoot up the place.”
According to charging documents acquired by Law&Crime, the Harris County District Attorney’s Office found probable cause to arrest 25-year-old Trekalon Price for allegedly making a false bomb threat at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport. The documents state that on January 4, Price purportedly called the airport, claiming her 38-year-old ex-boyfriend, who was scheduled to fly into Houston before continuing to Cedar Rapids Airport in Iowa later that day, intended to bomb both airports. She provided only his name, a physical description, and phone number but no further details.
When law enforcement contacted the purported suspect, they soon realized that he had no intentions to bomb any airports.

The documents further state that Price allegedly contacted Cedar Rapids Airport with a similar threat, asserting her ex-boyfriend had discussed plans to either shoot or bomb the airport. She also claimed he was carrying a firearm in his luggage, yet offered no concrete details on how she learned of these alleged threats.
For both calls, she allegedly provided a fake phone number when asked for her contact information.
The threats were taken seriously, the document said, and the TSA deployed K-9 units and bomb technicians to sweep the Iowa airport.
