Passenger's Claim Shuts Down Customs at Detroit Airport

The U.S. Customs area at Detroit Metropolitan Airport was briefly shut down today after a passenger claimed he had contaminated everyone on a flight from Amsterdam.
Officials say a U.S citizen got off a Northwest Airlines flight and implied to the crew he had a biological agent of some sort and had contaminated the flight.
Airport emergency medical technicians examined the man and decided that he did not pose a health risk.
The man was eventually allowed to leave.
It took about 90 minutes to investigate, and other passengers from Amsterdam were delayed in leaving. Passengers on two flights from Japan were not allowed to enter the customs area for about an hour during the investigation.
