(CNN) -- The security alert aboard a Northwest Airlines jet Sunday was the result of a "non-serious" incident, and the man questioned in connection with the scare does not appear to be a threat, a law enforcement source said Sunday.
The crew of Northwest Flight 253 -- the same Amsterdam, Netherlands-to-Detroit, Michigan flight targeted Friday in what prosecutors called a bomb plot -- reported a "verbally disruptive" passenger Sunday and requested police meet the plane, airline and airport officials told CNN. The man was questioned by police after the plane landed in Detroit early Sunday afternoon.
The passenger spent about an hour in the bathroom and got upset when he was questioned by the crew of the flight from Amsterdam, Netherlands, according to government sources. Law enforcement agents were questioning the man Sunday.
The jet had the same designation -- Flight 253 -- as the one on which a Nigerian man is accused of attempting to set off an explosive device Friday, said Scott Wintner, a spokesman for the Wayne County Airport Authority. Winter told CNN the flight "requested emergency assistance and was pulled aside upon arrival in Detroit."

B.S.
So has this passenger a NAME, or would that be too provocative to print!! After all...we must NOT jump to conclusions.
Yeah, I’m sure the author of this report wouldn’t have felt the least bit of stress had he/she been a passenger on that plane.
Good grief, what shameful apologists
Suuuuuure. While we are at it, I have a gently used bridge in the NYC area to sell...
As another freeper said-If the first guy was not stopped by a passenger, it would have been treated as another mid-air fuel tank explosion.
A ‘businessman’...coming from Lagos to Detroit with no luggage....
Right.
Probably flushed the evidence during his extended stay in the bathroom.
Or that Air France one that went down in a storm.. There’s always some way to cover it up unless it’s very very blatant. What I funny is that when Russian planes blow up they usually just admit what happened. Everyone else though is awfully scared.
What was his SEAT NUMBER???
Then it would be in the waste tank.
Is that you, Chuck Schumer?
Are they checking out H1N1 or Ebola, LOL!
Not serious.
Even though its exactly the same crime committed by that muslim retard Richard Reid, who is currently in ADX supermax, and was sentenced to spend the rest of his life there.
We don’t know yet. I posed that question early on the breaking thread.
They may never tell us, in order to secure the cover-up...
What an incredible koinky dink!
/sarc
But would they report it if it was? A second breach would totally put the Administration in the hot seat. Especially after Janet told us there was no connection to AQ.
ridesthemiles said on another thread that there are probably holding tanks for the bathrooms.
Curious how they don't mention names. The person is probably a muslim.
Name is Achmed Abdullah Mohammed Hadji Barak Hussein Obama Allah Baba.
