(AP) - Armed officers on Sunday rushed aboard the sameDetroit-bound Northwest Airlines flight that was attackedon ChristmasDay, but the perceived threat wasn't much of a danger - just an ill traveler who spent too much time in the bathroom.Coming so soon after a Nigerian was accused of trying to blow up aplane, authorities quickly responded to an emergency call from the crew on Flight 253 from Amsterdam. Some of the 256 passengers were rattled while others apparently weren't aware of the incident.Tim Jeronimus, 13, said he was "a bit nervous" when officers entered,and his 11-year-old sister, Emma, said she was scared.Their mother, Jane Jeronimus, said the captain toldpassengers thatnoarrival gates were available."I said to my husband, 'That's not true,'" she laterrecalled insidethe terminal at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. Airport police and border officers then entered the cabin to remove the manfrom the plane.Passengers were safely evacuated, and luggage was lined up on theground for inspection by bomb-sniffing dogs.The passenger, also a Nigerian, was a businessman who was sick andposed no security threat, said two law enforcementofficials who spokeon condition of anonymity because they were not authorizedto discussthe incident.The traveler in question had "spent a lengthy time in therestroom,"FBI spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said."This raised concerns so an alert was raised. ... Theinvestigationshows that this was a non-serious incident and all is clear at this point," she said.The passenger was released after questioning, Berchtold said. The man used the bathroom several times during the tripand refusedtocome out as the plane was preparing to land, said Lester Robinson, head of the Wayne County Airport Authority.
