Sitting off the runway at JFK on @AmericanAir 67 from BCN and we are held after landing due to an unspecified threat. Welcome home?

We are now off the aircraft and about 300 feet away with the PA Police. Still de planing.

Busses arrived to pick us up. Fairly uneventful if quick de planing.

This grassy area off the runway is still nicer than the CTB at LaGuardia.
