the passenger was taken off the plane by authorities, and investigators were questioning him. they said his passport appeared to be authentic.
cnn quoted fellow passengers as saying the man was in his twenties, and sat at the back of the plane. after he was apprehended, passengers around him were moved to the front part of the plane.
all passengers were off the plane as well. tv images showed the plane sitting on the tarmac.
after the failed christmas plane bombing attack last year, the u.s. government has revamped regulations, beefing up air travel safety.
