Bomb-sniffing dogs swept a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta upon landing Saturday after authorities said a passenger tampered with a smoke detector and moved ceiling panels in a lavatory.

The passenger, a San Antonio man who was not identified, was being questioned by federal authorities at San Antonio International Airport, FBI spokesman Erik Vasys said.

"We're just trying to determine what his intentions were," Vasys said. "It may be a simple issue which does not result in an arrest."

The passenger on Delta Flight 6492 was overheard being "disruptive" in the lavatory by flight attendants and had spent an extended amount of time there, said Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Jennifer Peppin.

Three guess to what 'the passenger' was really doing in the bathroom and the first two don't count. Don't let this be you. Just in case you ever feel the sudden need to 'rub one off' at 10,000 feet, feel comfortable in the knowledge that the TSA has your back on this one...
