Danisa Landaeta, 30, was charged with criminal mischief and for planting a fake bomb, officials said.

Landaeta admitted to scrawling the threats as a prank on her friend, who was at the Miami airport to catch a flight to Venezuela Tuesday afteoon.

When the friend checked her luggage with Santa Barbara Airlines, officials spotted the crude drawing - and notified airport security.

One of the airport's terminals was closed for an hour and several planes were diverted as police inspected the seemingly-suspicious piece of luggage.

The interruption cost more than $1,000, according to officials.
