OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- Passengers on an Oakland flight were forced to delay their holiday travel plans after a passenger made a bomb threat.

They were headed from Oakland to Baltimore when investigators said a man claimed a bomb was on the plane and it would explode.

The man was taken off the flight back in Oakland.

Investigators used bomb-sniffing dogs to clear the flight. It's headed back to Baltimore right now.
