A suspicious item was found on a Jet Blue plane from Boston to Austin on Thursday.

The airport won't say what the suspicious item was, but they said it had nothing to do with the new restrictions placed Thursday as a result of the thwarted terror plot involving flights between Great Britain and the U.S.
