Updated Statement:

TSA was made aware of the alleged threat made via phone against American Airlines flight 24 (SFO-JFK) before take-off. Out of an abundance of caution, TSA requested the plane be moved to a remote location. Passengers were deplaned and interviewed by law enforcement. The aircraft was swept with negative findings and all passengers are safe.
