ATLANTA (AP) -- Police who searched two airplanes in Atlanta found no bombs following online threats made against the aircraft.<br />
<br />
FBI spokesman Stephen Emmett said law enforcement officials finished their search Saturday night at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.<br />
<br />
The threats targeted Southwest Airlines Flight 2492, which arrived from Milwaukee, and Delta Air Lines Flight 1156, which arrived from Portland, Oregon.<br />
<br />
Both flights arrived safely.<br />

NORAD spokesman Preston Schlachter said the threats were made through Twitter, an online social media network. The military dispatched two F-16 fighter jets to shadow the planes until they reached the airport.
