49ers' Aldon Smith held at LAX for alleged bomb threat

Niners linebacker Aldon Smith was arrested Sunday at Los Angeles International Airport after claiming he had a bomb during a security screening, airport police said.

Smith, 24, made the threat after he was randomly selected for a second screening at about 2 p.m. as he went through the Transportation Security Agency checkpoint for Terminal 1.

"The suspect then became belligerent and uncooperative with the process and with the TSA agent, making a comment indicating that he was in possession of a bomb before proceeding toward the gate area," Sgt. Karla Ortiz said in a statement.

It was unclear whether Smith had been drinking alcohol, but it was "not relevant or a factor for his arrest and booking," Ortiz said.

He was booked on felony charges of making a false bomb threat and released after posting $20,000 bail. Smith also faces three felony weapons charges for possessing illegal (in California) assault weapons in 2012. Plus the DUI (second since 2012) last September.

You can't trust this guy with a starting roster spot anymore. Time to groom a new pass rusher.
