"An American Airlines passenger snooping on one of their seat neighbors forced the flight to return to San Juan after reporting a potential security concern based on an overseen text message.

Local news outlet Primera Hora reported that one passenger saw another receive a text message saying RIP (rest in peace) and interpreted it as a threat to the flight, according to Puerto Rico's Office of Explosives and Public Safety."
