| Detroit Airport Disturbance (false alarm) |
| 2006-08-13 |
| 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. |

| #3 How the hell is this any different than saying you have a bomb when you're at the airport? |

| #2 Probably turned up on a list of 'harmless nutjobs,' so they decided to forgo the paperwork. |

| #1 He was eventually allowed to leave Umm....am I missing something? Allowed to leave? No 'filing a false report' or some other related charge? |
