The plane was flying from Phoenix to Boston Thursday when a passenger saw the note, KCI spokesman Joe McBride said.
The passenger notified the flight crew and the pilot landed the plane at KCI about 1:30 p.m., authorities said.
The FBI, airport police and the Transportation Security Administration responded and police dogs searched the plane. No one was detained or arrested, McBride said.
The passengers were allowed to board the plane again shortly before 4:30 p.m.
