Plane diverted after bomb threat called in

I didn't hear it all, but they just mentioned something on the radio about a Southwest Airlines flight having to land (in Chicago, maybe? or maybe it was from Chicago) after someone called in a bomb threat from a gas station phone.

Certainly not an AQ type of thing to call in a warning, so I don't know what's up. Could be a stupid prank. Anyway, they also said that they plane is surrouned right now and the passengers have yet to deboard (deplane is the word they used but that makes me think of Tattoo -- "De plane! De plane!")

A prank probably because of the threat level being lowered today. Some people will just not quit!!

What do you call it when a pilot insists on flying into a turbulent microburst?
