The account has been suspended. It is unclear yet as to whether there is any actual threat aboard the plane.
This follows a similar Twitter threat yesterday against two planes, including a Delta plane, from someone implying a connection to ‘Lizard Mafia’. NORAD was scrambled to escort the two planes to the ground at the airport in Atlanta. No bombs were found and no one was hurt.
Update:
Another security concern, police surrounding plane at Seattle-Tacoma (SeaTac):

The original plane threatened in Dallas has been evacuated:

Update:
The name on the Twitter account threatening the Dallas plane is “Junaid Hussain”. That is the name of the man who claimed to be behind the cyber attack on the Centcom twitter feed. Hussain claims to be in charge of the Cyber Caliphate for ISIS.
It is not clear yet if this account is truly related to him or ISIS, but it is clear whoever it is wants people to think it is.
