FORT MYERS, Fla. -- A flight from Fort Myers, Fla., to Dallas was canceled after officials were told by a psychic that a bomb might be on board.

Nothing was found.

A Transportation Security Administration official said the warning was unusual, but "in these times, we can't ignore anything."

American Airlines Flight 1304 was searched Friday crews using bomb-sniffing dogs. By the time they were finished, the airline crew had exceeded its work hours and the flight was canceled.

Officials would not say where the tip came from, or to whom it was made.
