Thanks... had just spotted this on NJ dot com <http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2018/01/cnbc_crew_with_fake_bomb_arrested_at_newark_airport_source.html> (link) as well. Their sources said, in order: They're working for CNBC, the 'bomb' was a piece of PVC pipe with all kinds of wires, and their actual employer is Endemol Shine. The latter will face fat fines for this. This Variety <http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/cnbc-primetime-expand-byob-staten-island-hustle-1202658950/> (link) piece from Jan 9th describes "Hustle," slated for this spring, as about "a group of life-long friends and investors" from the fifth boro.
