NEW YORK – A passenger at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport has been removed from a Florida-bound JetBlue flight due to a security concern.

Dervin did not give a reason for the passenger’s removal. She says the aircraft has been re-screened and was expected to depart later on Saturday.
No other details were immediately available.
