See my previous related post here.

British airliner turned back over cell-phone ring:

A British Airways flight to New York was turned back to London's Heathrow airport on Sunday because of a security scare over a mobile phone that did not belong to any of the 217 passengers, officials said.

I don't think I'd use the term "false alarm" in this situation. Someone violated the newly tightened security regulations by having that phone on the plane.
