VIDEO: LAX Under Heightened Security Following Threats

Security has been beefed up at Los Angeles International Airport following the arrest of a former Transportation Safety Administration official accused of making threats there.

Nna Alpha Onuoha, 29, of Inglewood was arrested just before midnight Tuesday by members of the Los Angeles Joint Terrorism Task Force with assistance from the Riverside Police Department, said Los Angeles-based FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller. He made an appearance in federal court this week.

Meanwhile, there are concerns that packages sent by Onuoha have yet to arrive at the airport, according to KTLA.
