ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) - The Customs area at a Detroit airport was briefly shut down Saturday after a passenger claimed he had contaminated everyone on a flight with a biological agent, officials said. At Detroit Metropolitan Airport, a U.S. citizen got of a Northwest Airlines flight and implied to the crew he had a biological agent of some sort and had contaminated the flight, U.S. Customs agent Ron Smith said.
Airport emergency medical technicians examined the man and decided that he did not pose a health risk. He was eventually allowed to leave, Smith said. |
