security inspection and an inspection of the airplane is conducted 
before the next flight.
    (b) If the airplane is in flight to a place in the United States 
when a bomb threat is received, the foreign air carrier ensures that the 
pilot in command is advised immediately to take the emergency action 
necessary under the circumstances and a security inspection of the 
airplane is conducted immediately after the next landing.

against an airplane engaged in an operation specified in paragraph (a)
