PHOENIX (AP) - A woman was arrested at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport after allegedly trying to pass through security and board a flight to San Francisco recently with a folding knife concealed in her bra., authorities said Tuesday.
FBI officials in Phoenix said 36-year-old Erine Aisha Robertson was charged with the federal crime of attempting to carry a weapon on an aircraft.
They said the incident occurred on Nov. 28.
Court documents show an alarm went off as Robertson passed through the sensor at the Transportation Security Administration checkpoint.
Authorities said Robertson was taken to a private screening room where she reached into her bra and pulled out a small pocket knife.
Robertson’s hometown wasn’t immediately available and it was unclear Tuesday if Robertson has a lawyer who can speak on her behalf about the case.
