The airman, who has been identified as 30-year-old Jeremy Sawyer, reportedly became irate after learning that the airport's USO lounge was closed.
"What am I supposed to do with this pressure cooker?" He reportedly asked an airport employee, pointing to his backpack.
It's a reference to the type of improvised explosive device used in April's Boston Marathon Bombing.
Obviously, all available Massachusetts State Police officer's at the airport were dispatched to apprehend Sawyer.
He was found and arrested within minutes and charged with making a bomb or hijack threat. A not-guilty plea was entered automatically on his behalf, and he was released on his own recognizance.
His next scheduled court appearance is Dec. 20, according to the Globe report.
