CNN

Nine members of a reality show crew were charged and released with conspiracy to create a public alarm and other offenses. Authorities say the crew members said they were filming a show called Staten Island Hustle and wanted to see how passengers and TSA workers would react to the device made up of vacuum cleaner parts and wires. CNBC referred all questions to reality show producer Endemol. "While this process is ongoing we are unable to comment further but in the meantime, we sincerely apologize for any disruption caused," Endemol said.
