SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah man is facing charges after allegedly bringing a straight edge razor blade on a flight and holding it near a passenger's throat.
The incident comes just weeks after a man brought two box cutters through security and onto a Frontier Airlines flight en route to Tampa.
The woman's husband then went to the front of the plane to get assistance from a flight attendant. The woman lunged for the aisle to escape and Fackrell reached and tried to stop her by grabbing her shoulder, according to the release. In a statement to ABC News, the Transportation Security Administration said it"take[s] our responsibility to secure the skies for the traveling public very seriously." The agency said it's introducing new X-ray technology at more airports to improve the capability to detect items such as the one used in this incident.
