Passengers were escorted off an airplane after it landed at Philadelphia International Airport Thursday morning. Philadelphia Police said crews searched the plane and found a bullet on board a Frontier flight.
Flight 1000 had taken off from Miami, Florida around 7 a.m. and arrived in Philly around 9:30 a.m., according to Flight Aware.
Shortly after landing, all passengers were urged to sit tight while TSA agents entered the Airbus A320, said Doris D. Meneses, who was on the flight.
Meneses, who grew up in Pennsylvania, said the agents took a male passenger and spoke to him in the front of the plane before letting him return to his seat.
Frontier confirmed that a bullet was found and released this brief statement: "TSA searched the plane, found no problems and let all the customers deplane."
In total, the deplaning was delayed by about 30 minutes before TSA agents filed everyone off the plane single file along the jetway and escorted passengers through the concourse, said Meneses.
Police said that investigators didn’t find anything else suspicious on board and that no arrests were made.

The TSA had told passengers that if they had connecting flights that they would have to go back through security to catch their connecting flights, said Meneses.
